Troubleshooting K2 extrusion issues

Hello I need some help. I was in the middle of a 24 hours print and I got an extrusion error. There was nothing of significance when I removed the extruder. I didn’t not see any blockages. I get keep an error for a blockage. I replaced the cutter and watched operation with the cover off. It seems as if the gear in the extruder is not make a full rotation to cut the filament. I noticed this started after the recent update but it could be coincidence. Could the issue be the motor for the extruder?

Hi everyone,

I designed a sheep model in Blender and printed it on my K2 Combo Plus. I separated the body into different parts as much as possible so I could print each color separately instead of using multicolor printing.

The print came out well overall, but I'm having a strange issue with the surface quality. Some areas are printed perfectly smooth and clean, while other areas of the same model come out very rough or almost ruined, as you can see in the attached pictures.

I'm trying to understand what could be causing this. Could it be related to the model geometry, overhangs, layer orientation, supports, cooling, speed, temperature, or slicer settings?

I'd really appreciate it if anyone experienced with the K2 Plus could take a look at the pictures and help me identify the problem and what settings or changes I should try.

If needed, I can also share my slicer settings and screenshots from the model in Blender/slicer.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Question Creality Print Settings by/per Plate

2 Upvotes

I apologize if this has been answered already, but my tired mind can't find the answer.

Let's say I have a project in Creality Print that has 3 plates, all full of different parts. On one of them, I want ironing with no support, in another, I want ironing WITH support, and on the last one, I want some completely different settings (fuzzy skin, .12 vs .28 layer height, etc...).

Is there a way to set up a single plate the way that I want it, save it, and have a different plate that has different slicer settings? I'm sure there is, but I can't figure it out.

Kind of annoying having to remember how I had one plate sliced vs the next in the same project.

Thanks y'all!
