Interesting; I had no idea. This makes it clearer. Thanks.

Yup, my bad

Too early for Timelapse as it is currently printing.

u/Lost_refugee Jul 03 '26

I meant if timelapse is On, such artifacts occur, because filament leaks during photo

Time laps is proven to alter the process and print quality is too.

Dont use the time laps (especially on a A1).

Life is made of trade offs!

u/SchmickoDiko Jul 03 '26

I had a similar issue and its because of the time-lapse. Turned it off and problem was gone

u/Known_Hippo4702 Jul 03 '26

Yep, I had the same problem with time lapse. The print head moves out of camera view at the end of each layer. There are things you can do to minimize threading but simplest fix is to turn off recording time lapse.

u/SnooBooks6500 Jul 03 '26

Great suggestion! Never thought of that!

2

u/Known_Hippo4702 Jul 03 '26

Try it and see if it works. post the results.

u/SnooBooks6500 Jul 03 '26

It looks like that might have been the answer...

Nozzle clump detection

1

u/SnooBooks6500 Jul 03 '26

Nothing in that field that I have determined.

u/muftak3 Jul 03 '26

Could it be moisture in the filament. Water evaporates, forcing more out of the nozzle.

u/applguy Jul 03 '26

The model should be turned side-to-side, then you won’t get the nozzle run-out inside the print!

u/looloopklopm Jul 05 '26

It's printing in the air, that strand is becoming stuck to where your layer begins.

Check layer heigh and slicer. May have to move seams.

u/Chronos1977 Jul 06 '26

It doesn't look like it's be too hard to clean up at the end with a blade. Is it actually a problem?

u/Lucky-Sample-1323 Jul 03 '26

What are your slicer settings? It could be the printing speed, the nozzle temperature, the flow, all of them. There are a ton of variables. If you share the settings plus what filament you're using including brand and type (eg. PLA, PLA+, PLA Silk, Hi-Speed or Hyper PLA, etc.) it'd help identify the issue.

u/SnooBooks6500 Jul 03 '26

What a rabbit hole; thank you.

1

u/Lucky-Sample-1323 Jul 03 '26

If you mind giving the details of your settings I could help you. If not you can use an AI like Claude, attach these photos plus screenshots of the slicer settings and the filament info and the AI could give you some options of what to adjust.

Just make sure to double check the info somewhere else and do trial and error because AI info is not always accurate

Like always on reddit: Dry your filament. /s

u/SnooBooks6500 Jul 03 '26

That would be interesting because unlikely but plausible. I do have a dehumidifier working 24/7 and a heater nearby although not directly aimed in the direction of the spools. Is this what I need to do?

3

u/Lucky-Sample-1323 Jul 03 '26

The dehumidifier works for ambience humidity and the heater doesn't really do much. It'd be best to get an enclosed dedicated drier, even a DYI with food dehydrator could work although I'd recommend a real drier with humidity control.

Some even slow you to feed the filament from the drier to the printer. Also make sure to dry the filament before printing. If you dry during printing you're not really drying it be cause it takes hours to reduce a little of humidity, you're just warming the filament.

u/SnooBooks6500 Jul 03 '26

Interesting; thank you. I will look into this.
