I’m pretty new to 3d printing as I just got an Ender 3 Max Neo for Christmas. I’ve been playing around with various filaments from Inland and Creality, but I’m having odd results with the Creality ones.
When using the Creality filaments, my prints get random holes, or outright fail, because of gaps when it’s extruding. The roll is not tangled and my extruder doesn’t appear to be slipping. I’ve tried adjusting speed, temperatures, flow, z offset, etc, but nothing is fixing the random gaps. The Inland filaments are working great and are very consistent. Any help is appreciated.
I had something like this on my Ender 3 Pro, and because I had/have calibrated much of the system the retraction distance that is in the default profile was pulling in air, causing pop/bubbles in every layer after a retraction.
I dropped retraction from 6.5mm to 4mm and all the bubbles went away.
I played around with retraction a bit, but I’ll give that another shot. Thanks for the input.
