Maybe if you came from PETG that requires a high printing temperature. Finally got it to print better, but kind of ugly, there’s a stringing problem. Increased the temperature to 265C. Cooling settings were probably wrong, changed back to what I had for PETG, and changed the speed back to 30.
Think I print the PETG @ 240C or so. No issues with it.
Guess my printer can print higher then 260C, probably the custom firmware.
Supposedly you can print this PCTG @ 240C I think is the lowest temp, but I get gaps on the first layer, and @ 255C, I get layer separation.
Printing a retraction tower now, not sure the retraction length from PETG settings will work. Also, I changed it, to try and prevent the clog, the only thing that worked was increasing the temperature.
I read on a different brand of PCTG, that they had to print @ 265C, if that doesn’t work print @ 270C the max.
Damn, must have been semi clogged, at some point, cause it didn’t print the line. Nozzle doens’t seem too close to me, the liens aren’t transparent.
That means longer prints won’t work at all. Guess I need 270C. Or did it clog because of the cooling settings?
If there’s a big ass string coming off the nozzle again, then it’s probably partially clogged again. After it’s done I’ll know.
Bad idea, printing a retraction tower, I was air printing. Clogged it. Maybe don’t start @ 1mm with a bowden tube. Just set the setting override to 5.6mm, and will print, it should print the entire thing at that retraction, safer then printing at a very bad retraction setting, that might just clog it. Also changed cooling settings, perhaps PCTG needs cooling.
