Hey everyone.
I built an mk3s+ from its kit form successfully, tested a few PLA prints with the stock 0.4 nozzle.
I’ve set prusaslicer to use a 0.6 nozzle now that I’ve upgraded, and am using PETG. Prints look pretty bad, in spite of calibrating z-offset etc.
If you were doing something like this for the first time, what would your setup steps be like?
To be specific, using a diamondback 0.6 nozzle, matterhackers PETG at 235c.
Issues I’m seeing are a really bad loss of detail, lots of stringing, etc.
eta: added a photo of a moderately post-processed part. Notice how rough the top surface looks, there’s a disconnect between perimeter loops, etc.
PETG is very runny. Switch back to 0.4mm nozzle.
Laying down more material to speed prints as well as increase strength.
Then accept the fact that your prints won’t look perfect.
They don’t need to be perfect. Reading skills, buddy. Use em.
