Does anyone know how to fix this

I have a prusa i2 with marlin and an e3d hotend with a .4 mm nozzle. I am using the latest version of slic3r

How well is your e-stepper calibrated?

Kevin_Conner · January 18, 2014, 5:15pm

Is that 1 base layer? Do consecutive layers yield similar results?

Ethan_Hall · January 18, 2014, 5:16pm

Generally solid layers do that but I have had prints without that problem and it confuses me

Kevin_Conner · January 18, 2014, 5:38pm

What layer thickness?

Ethan_Hall · January 18, 2014, 6:11pm

.2

Tell slic3r your nozzle is 0.37. I call it underclocking.

Have you calibrated your filament feed rate (e steps)?

Pat_G · January 18, 2014, 6:30pm

Is it filament dependant? Might be slight differences in feed rate

Slic3r parameters setting problems.

Yet another vote for your e-steps being off…

Ethan_Hall · January 18, 2014, 9:28pm

I’m looking into it

Ethan_Hall · January 18, 2014, 9:53pm

It appears as if my esteps were off by fifteen or so. I’m printing the same cube now to see the results

Take a look on the extuder bolt. Probably it is not tight enough and it is not transmitting well the torque from the motor to the filament

Thanks! I got it fixed

Fran_Lozano · January 19, 2014, 12:02pm

Ethan, how you fixed the problem? I have a similar problem. Thanks

Ethan_Hall · January 19, 2014, 12:54pm

I lowered the nozzle to the bed and calibrated my e steps

Thanks for your answer
