When printing calibration stuff and when I finally think I’ve cracked the case… I’m putting a 5 hour job and is not how I would imagine… Don’t get me wrong, not the printing time is the issue… the artefacts are all over the print… But it gives me the impression that it doesn’t like to travel much :)) Not a work horse how the community likes to call some 3d printers :)) Very subtle layer shifting like this ![PXL_20230817_211708111](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/2/d/2d88dc82c81b8c5cd544e291bee67832cdb4e3d0.jpeg) That appear all over, combined with the dots… ugly… ---

@Marius87bv Well if the calibration stuff looks good, your 3dprinter is obviously capable of printing that quality. It must be the settings in the slicer then… ---

@xchrisd I need to see if this doesn’t void my warranty, and to be honest not sure if this is the case… I don’t want to fall in a rabbit hole where I think the universe is plotting against me :))… Not even sure if it’s a rail issue… Watched the video few times and I see a jitter… But I might be bias Like you say small prints shouldn’t be an issue, is the way I’m extruding… @xchrisd @Rwide Just a technical question, I’ve been reading so many forums and seen somewhere that snapmaker has some “impossible numbers” When I’m printing with the 0.4 nozzle, at 2.4 mm layer height… What line width should I use? Or what are optional settings for as a rule of thumb? ---

Bet the plate shifted mid print, the embedded heating coil has about a 20 deg deviation where the probe reports but the bed sheet is about 5 minutes heating time behind, cause many print shifts when I first started, almost made me pull my hair out ---

You should probably lower the nozzle temp. When you see corners curling upwards like that, it is because of poor cooling and/or too hot material. Other countermeasures are: Lower printing speed (this gives the part cooling fan more time to cool the material. Increase layer height. Not sure why this works but it does… ---

Tbh not sure if 205-210 for pla should cause that kind of an issue, speed is quite average… slowing the speed would create under extrusion… Still curious if someone would slice something and give me the gcode… ---

@Marius87bv Well, It’s not the temperature itself. It’s the temperature in combination with how good/bad the cooling is. You can learn more about it here: > **[What to do against curling PLA overhangs?](https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk2-s-others-archive/what-to-do-against-curling-pla-overhangs/)** > > Hello, I have seen this topic creep up a couple of times, and I would appreciate some help to get to the bottom of it. I'm not sure why some people ... Also, if you slow the print speed down, the printer will still extrude the same amount of plastic, so it will not create under extrusion… ---

Not sure how much slower than 20-30 to go… It feels like the higher the layer height the worst… difference between 0.24 and 0.20 is noticeable in under extrusion… And on 0.08 not noticeable, obviously because the lines are so thin I can’t really see… But I still want to use 0.24 for some fast printing ( 60 mm/s ) ---

You shouldnt try to "fix "underextrusion by decreasing layer height. It will still be underextruding the same amount (percentage wise). The exeption would be if there is a hardware issue. If you think you have underextrusion, then increase e-steps or flow. ---

@Rwide cheers… you have read my mind from yesterday… What I did, I’ve increased my e step from my 228 to about 250, to see if there is a noticeable significance… I don’t know the math… but about 20 more “steps” should give me blobs… or different types of issues… But no… Still lines… Funny thing is that you can see in the photo is that the thing prints well… and then those lines… so I think that the filament has little impact… ![PXL_20230822_160729665](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/a/7/a746a432b9b88eb371d382d6e860097135555901.jpeg) ![PXL_20230822_160757774](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/1/9/1948aa689a058e093340fb7f727d4f92b463d5ca.jpeg) ![PXL_20230822_160808655](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/e/6/e67a7e98872e1dcab93be04934e224d059bc07fc.jpeg) I was actually watching when this happened ![PXL_20230822_161308919](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/6/5/650451a5113ebe2d7e6eaca48fca2a766701dfbe.jpeg) And it was like the hot end stopped extruding, the filament was dragged out of the nozzle, hence the “doted line”, then started extruding normally… No snag on filament before or something… ---
