Heyo everyone! I recently acquired a tevo tornado and am making a thread to show all my 3d prints, progress, a d eventually finished with paint and all.
Here are my first ever prints in pla. A spinning gear cube and a baby groot.
I also printed four of these gears that go around the screws of the leveling bed. Best thing ever!
I have also attempted to print in PETG, but my last 5 prints have failed. The first two were printed at the full 260 degrees, but the fillament was oozing out the nozzle, so I turned it down to 250, but the next print still failed. I then printed at 242 and I think this is the ideal temperature for my printer, but j am still having an issue. Sometimes in the early layers a single short strand will stick up or out in random places. Also on my prints they get progressively worse the higher it builds up, and there are balls of fillament that somehow scatter all over the bed.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this would happen? I stopped it about two hours in because of this. Most of the failed petg prints are because this happens and eventually it just gets soo bad the printer prints a hair ball of fillament and keeps going... I am not sure what to do yet, and was also wondering if I need to switch out my 0.4 nozzle to print bigger lines, or do I just change the size in cura. These small prints are taking an extremely long time for the petg and I would love to speed it up. Even if it sacrifices detail
Edit: the exterior support scaffolding stuff are printing great but the interior is why everything is sticking up it looks like...
