What might cause these effects?

3D printing means learning all the time…
I’m using the snapmaker for about a year but I still have some problems.

I want to give you a few hints:

1st layer adhesion and quality are the most important things for succesful prints.
You shold do this things if you have problems:

  • leveling the bed
  • use a skirt (3-4 lines at least) to prime the nozzle
  • first layer hights larger than 0,15 mm are easier to handle
  • 1st layer print at speed about 5-10 mm/s

Small details as holes in your print require slower speed!
You will learn what models have to be printed at what speed range - for such a small print I suggest 20-25 mm/s

If you use another slicer then snapmakerjs (like Cura or Simpolify3D) you can adjust the extrusion width to 0,36-0,38 mm to avoid the gaps between the lines:

To avoid these strings you have to adjust the retraction and maybe use the Z hop at retraction:

I know these holes - they come from a bad flow inside the hotend when it is starting to cogg up and/or you are printig too fast and/or too cold:

I like following page because there are so many helpful hints:
