This is the temp tower of my wood print experiment Cand even se much difference. It goes from 260 to 190. Below 225 gets really flimsy and above 240 melts. But even 230, the “best” one is really bad, and I’m not talking about retraction. Even the layers that melt are inconsistent.
Also it’s not humidity since the filament was in a filament dryer for.16hours.
edit: The nozzle is 0.8
can someone think of anything else?
This is how my wood PLA+ prints used to look too. Your extruder is almost 100% the issue. These filaments are spongy and don’t extrude well. Try toying with your extruder tension and if that fails get a BMG knockoff
Have you tried adjusting the e steps?
What are max print speed and volumetric set to?
For some filaments (silk PLA) I’ve had to slow things down (120mm/s max print speed and 10mm3/s max volumetric speed) or it comes out horrible. Only used 0.4 nozzles so far though.
Did you change the nozzle setting in your slicer to 0.8? They usually default to 0.4
It definitely looks under extruded.
Looks to me like the plastic isn’t getting hot enough fast enough.
Is it just wood filament that isn’t printing right? Can you print pla or whatever on the .8mm?
Does the filament brand suggest a range that’s higher than you normally print at?
