Hoping someone has an idea on this!
I’ve been making little Disney trinkets for my wife to hand out when we go to Disneyland, and feedback has been positive enough that I thought I’d try a little Etsy store to make some filament money.
Initially I added it into my base template in TinkerCAD but it kept coming out real bad, so I’ve been trying adding the text within Creality Print, and usually it looks pretty good but it can be wildly inconsistent.
The top two are from a batch of five where I set one up and then duplicated it. The middle two are from a batch of eleven, all duplicated from the first five that looked nice, and then the bottom two are that same batch of five that I tried printing a second time and it turned out way worse.
Any idea on why it varies so much and what I could do to resolve it?
I don't think your issue is the text, it's your first layer. A number of these prints have pretty significant gaps between the extrusions.
Do you have auto leveling?
Do different prints from "the same batch" look different from one another? If yes, your bed is likely not level.
Do different prints, from the same location, look different between print jobs? If yes, it's likely that something is loose.
Yeah I just moved to a K1 Max and have auto leveling for the first time, and the five batches that varied were from the same bed location so I’ll go through and make sure everything is tightened up, thank you for the idea!
