Why are my 3D prints separating?
This can happen for a few reasons, including too-low temperatures, over-cooling, a large layer height, an unclean hot end, and more. In this article, we’ll be going over a few different potential causes and solutions to help prevent delamination from (literally) popping up in your 3D prints.
What happens when you print an Ender 3?
I have an Ender 3 that I have been pretty happy with so far, however it recently started an odd behavior and I can’t figure out what’s causing it. What happens is that the first ~3 mm of the print comes out “sloppy”. After that, everything clears up and it prints fine for the rest of the print.
Where are the rollers on the Ender 3?
So I started a closer inspection of the Z axis rollers. The Ender 3 has a funky setup where there are 3 rollers at each end of the X axis. Two are fixed and one can be adjusted to change the tension of the rollers against the Z rails.
What causes gaps in the first layer of 3D printing?
Causes of Gaps in the First Layer of Your 3D Prints 1 Print bed is not properly leveled or its warped 2 Your printing temperature is too low 3 The line width setting in your slicer is too high 4 Under-extrusion, which has various causes 5 Incorrect Z-offset settings
How big should the first layer be in a 3D printer?
Increasing your first layer line width to 120% of the nozzle diameter works well to fill in first layer gaps. There are more details behind this answer which you’ll want to know, so you can properly fix those badly printed first layers once and for all.
