So I’m new to the 3d printer community and I think I’ve hit a road barrier need some advice, attached is a few examples of my current prints in petg I’m printing at 240 and 60 with a .5 mm nozzle on a b3 picco extruder, someone point me in the direction to making my prints a little bit more production ready. I can give any other details you want… I’m sorry if this may have been covered previously bit the emnse info on this seems to leave me confused and distracted

Hi @Yuri_Kopplin , what type of printer are you using?
It’s a prusa i3 kit I built from sunhokey I did however order the p3steel frame to fix the warping on the frame, I assume that might make a slight difference. But I swapped out the kit bearings and replaced all of them except z axis does that matter at all?

Search for simplify3d there is an awesome web for showing corrections for many of the errors in your prints…
It looks to me like a little bit too much flow (bubbling up a little, scratch marks on top surface (nozzle scraping). Print speed to high in some areas. I dont know if you adjust specific areas or just slew and print.
Slight warpage (this could be the table, not any warp) more cooling needed.
- All guesses
I think you may be referring this Simplify3D guide, which is all making the rounds here at the office Talk Manufacturing | Hubs
Hope this helps!

Altura de la capa 0,06 (mm) o 0.1 (mm) para un mejor acabado
Looks to me like nozzle drag, in some areas looks like maybe too much heat. With a 0.5 mm nozzle your maximum layer height should be about 0.25 mm (1/2 your nozzle size) for my finer prints I use a 0.2mm nozzle and .1 layer height. What looks like too much heat could be cause but layer height. Also if crossing over the part make sure your z axis lifts (can’t remember what the technical name is) between moves other wise you drag the nozzle across your print.
