Stabilization Print quality / look-ahead #137

Open smeyernyc opened 11 months ago

smeyernyc commented 11 months ago

Running MRISCOC on an Ender 3 v2 with Cura. Running with no stabilization, everything works perfectly. When stabilizing, almost every layer has stringing. I attempted to enable look-ahead but it says there are no blocks. I am still very new to all this and some guidance would be appreciated.

Hi @smeyernyc Stringing is a problem that will always happen in some form when stabilizing. It also heavily depends on your model (like amount of infill, perimeters, ...). Can you maybe provide your GCODE file for which Timelapse+ couldn't find any infill blocks? Which slicer do you use? Or you can check the GCODE file yourself with these information. I have an Ender 3 V2 with the custom firmware myself (however I installed the Sprite Extruder) and the retraction settings helped reduce stringing for me: image But since you have a different print head, you should match those settings to be closer to your slicer's retraction settings.

@cmuche I think I figured it out. My printhead parking was out of limits which I think broke everything else. I also really appreciate your guidance on movement settings. Night and day difference. I must have missed that documentation when setting it up if it was there.
