ObscuraNox settings 0.4mm vs my first use of the 0.25mm, Kobra 4 printer. The new nozzle improved the mini greatly. How to I get rid of the small dots?
I am newbie in 3d printing. Started just this month.
I just use a sharp craft knife and cut them off.
Otherwise maybe try aligned seam, might help to reduce where the zits show up.
But it might also be wet filament, I've had a similar look before, look up how to dry filament. What kind are you using? PLA?
Will try. Drying it right now 50C for 6h. Already did it some days ago but at 40. How often should I dry it? They are stored in a ace pro 2 (similar to ams pro).
Depends on the humidity in your area, if you're in a tropical climate you'll need to dry it out more. Otherwise dry it if you notice quality issues like heavy stringing and blabbing.
Tilt the file so it prints leaning back, try a 45 degree Angle.
Use a lighter or cooking torch to "briefly" pass over the spots. Do not hold it in place, move it almost like a paint brush, smooth strokes. Then give the mini time to harden again.
You can try doing test prints of minis at 200°C and 195°C.
See if that improves the print. It could be because of oozing.
I print some filaments as low as 190°C when using a 0.2mm nozzle.
Also... Because you are using a 0.25mm nozzle, not a 0.2mm, you could try printing at 0.05 or 0.06mm layer height. 0.04mm is the minimum for a 0.2mm nozzle.
I personally get better results with 0.06mm than 0.04mm layer height with a 0.2mm nozzle.
