Ive been trying to get my 3D printer to print properly since upgrading my Ender 3 Pro with an all metal direct drive hot end. I calibrated my esteps perfectly and they're spot on, beds leveled although there is a bit of a dip in the middle, and my slicer has the right settings for this PLA that is new and just opened from the air tight bag. Not sure why im getting these weird first layers.
Slicer settings:
200c hot end
60c bed
50mm/s
Filament recommendations
190-220c hot end
25-70c bed
50mm/s
X-Steps 80mm
Y-Steps 80mm
Z-Steps 400mm
E-Steps 437.6mm
Any recommendations of what to try?
I personally think Brave Search doesn’t get enough love. It’s surprisingly great, search results are fast and always get me relevant sites, and the AI summarizer is really good.
I’ve only tried my Pixel Watch, and it’s not perfect, but I do really enjoy it. Fitness tracking is pretty on point with sleep tracking being really solid and important for me since sleeping has always been a more difficult part of my life.
That probably explains it, I didn’t change it and I remember hearing direct drive printers need smaller retraction amounts so I’ll check that out
