I’ve had the same thing. I think orca’s retraction test is just too ‘easy’. I think the towers are too far apart.


Thanks. I’ll experiment with temperatures first but I’ve got some different filament on the way too as it happens, so hopefully I’ll manage to escape the problem one way or another 😁


When I do an overhang test, I always have this problem at about 35°. Does anyone have a suggestion what could be causing it? * Slicer: Orca * Layer height: 0.2mm * Infill: 0% (this has improved it a lot, I think the infill was causing bulging) * Outer walls: 2 * Overhang speed: 10 or 20mm/s (both look the same) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/677fb0bd-6323-4acf-b822-8f0919380954.jpeg) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a62ccd1e-841d-4136-b435-0e8d15f5018a.jpeg) **Solution:** I mistakenly thought overhang speed in Orca was based on overhang angle, it is percentage instead (which makes much more sense for different layer heights). My 10-25% overhang speed wasn't set to slow down and that must translate to about 35° at 0.2mm layer height. I now have it set to 30mm/s and it now looks great 👍 And sorry, I was wrong when I stated the overhang speed 😅
