I am printing PLA at 210 C for the hot end 70 C for the bed temp. It’s 1.75mm filament going through a 0.3mm nozel. The speed is only 30mm/s.

Hey There, Could it be That you didnt Specify the Nozzle Diameter to 0.3? Thats the first thing going through my head seeing the pictues… but give me some more information. Wich Printer You are Using? Wich Software? And if Possible could you get me Some Pictures of the Feeder? so i can look if there are any Problems.

We will get this running in no time,

Best Regards,

What is the printer? What slicer? What is the layer height?

Bed is a bit hot, try dropping to 55-60 and see how that goes. You mainly are looking for adhesion with the bed temp.

Speed might be high for a .3 but I am not sure since I have not used one but you can always slow down more.

0.3 for layer height

I dropped the speed to 10mm/s and it was still having the issue. Ill add dropping the print bed to my list of things to try.

Thanks

I am using repetier as the host and as the slicer. I had to take apart the feeder due to a clog I am cleaning it tonight.
