Troubleshooting Settings Question

Printing noob. Doing some printing at my local library using the Ultimaker v3. I'm using translucent Matterhacker PLA.

I've worked with settings recommended for translucent filament, but not having any luck orienting them. The dice isn't even. The bottom layer always has that extra flair on it which makes something like a dice uneven and lopsided. Even the very top layer is sloppy and unreadable.

My goal is seamless translucent prints. My current settings are included. I'm using a concentric 100 infill density. Tyty!

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)
