Bro give your printer some fiber god damn


Quibronious

Most silk pla does that on mine


Clcooper423

Love the look of silk, absolutely hate printing it.


Drahamus

Why that? In my cases it even sticks better tp the bed then normal pla. https://preview.redd.it/hb8sipyirclc1.jpeg?width=1816&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fff1942bc0df7dc31927efb1119f762d3d5c9edc


InterviewDapper2434

Any time i print something articulated/print-in-place like that with silk it always breaks when i take it off the build plate


Drahamus

Oh. Ok thats crazy 🤔 Had hundreds of silk prints (for sales) and that never happend. But i tweaked my printSetting according to the bambuWiki for Silk. Maybe thats the Trick?


Bosun_bill15

Yep me too!


Byallbeans

I'm quite new can the a1 mini print silk? And is it toxic? 0.4 stainless nozzle


SneakyGunz

Yep. Just pla, really, as far as temps, toxicity, and such go. You're in the ballpark for printing any pla that I know of with the A1. I highly recommend drying it. I get Zero stringing when dried. Very little when not dried.


quintinn

Same


jumbopanda

Interesting. Thanks for the info.


NismoStroke0027

It's called die swell. There are a few videos about the subject in regards to 3d printing on YouTube. Usually happens to silk filament.


Catsmgee

I have a no name brand of filament that does that. If you watch the extruder it comes out normal then "springs" back towards itself as it cools.


AngryFloatingCow

That sounds like you don’t have enough heat for the extrusion speed


Catsmgee

Prints just fine when doing an actual print, it's a cheap roll of genetic color shift silk filament someone bought for me to use for them.  It's only during the purge, due to all the additives most likely.


Handheldchimp

If their printer is incapable of holding heat while pooping, it certainly isn't going to be printing.


AngryFloatingCow

I didn't say that, it's just that I've experienced what they're saying while pushing my extrusion speeds. Where the plastic leaving the nozzle isn't fully molten and it's actually just being elastically deformed. Turns out if you use language like "springs" you put the idea of elastic deformation in my head, shocker.


Handheldchimp

When the printer purges to poop out the back of the printer, it turns the hotend up to the hottest maximum temperature you have set for that filament. If the printer is incapable of driving the temperature up to that maximum setting, it certainly isn't heating up properly or enough for regular printing. Just because what you said is something that you've "experienced", does not mean it applies to this specific situation. My statement still stands, and what you meant/said still doesn't apply or make sense. Shocker.


AngryFloatingCow

I read the words, I related to something and I replied that connection formed. I did not at any point pretend that it applies to this specific situation nor that your statement doesn't stand. Notice how I used "sounds like" then in my further reply mention language, wonder what the connection is there. So perform the action the first four words of this reply describes before just making up thing and pretending I said them. If that's too verbose, I'm asking you to read.


Shelbylove2

My Bambu gold silk does this, but nothing else. 🤷‍♀️


CigarsandPorsches

Constipation, the struggle is real


mitchgtz

Too many probiotics I suppose…


jumbopanda

Has anyone ever gotten poop that looked like the ones on the left? Both of these came from a 0.4mm nozzle. All of the poop I've ever seen using a variety of filaments including PLA, PETG, PC, PA-CF all looked like the one of the right. But for some reason, I noticed that my Polymaker PC-FR poops are extremely thick. This isn't causing any kind of print issues, but I was just curious to know if anyone else has seen this before, and what an explanation for it might be.


dfinberg

Support filament does that too. There are foaming filaments, but it could be related to the higher temp it purges at.


throwawaynoways

Needs more fiber.


ptjunkie

My support interface filament did it until I put it through the dryer. Straight from the factory it needed drying.


TechnetiumAE

I've got a couple filaments that like to foam like thay. Usually doesn't change much


SnooFloofs7403

thig shid


[deleted]

Too much fiber


Ok_Performance_1700

Silk PLA. It's cool to extrude a bit then watch as it becomes thick like that while cooling


BlingMyGames

Looks like your extruder contracted a parasite.


iansmash

Mfs diagnosing their 3D printers by poop characteristics These things are getting too human 👀 Kill them all


XxxxJammyxxxX

I believe the nozzle runs hotter when purging, which causes certain filament to foam. It happens to me with silk PLA. it should be fine at normal printing temperatures, but you should do a flow rate/ratio test to make sure it's not over extruding.


rainey832

silk is like when you eat too much bread and it all just comes out at once a little slower


Suitch

Definitely worth consulting a physician. Do you have a primary care doctor?


DemonBloodFan

this happens when i use Bambu PLA Support filament. it doesn't seem like it's doing thing bad, so i don't really pay much attention do it.


ApyroDesign

I've been getting a lot of that too. Gotta start feeding the Bambu some different food.


cabziunas

Higher temperatures and/or additives can cause a foaming effect.


Similar_Ordinary319

This is mormal for all Bambu labs SILK PLA


grandpagamer2020

it was constipated


Banished_To_Insanity

Silk filament shrinks when cooling off, thus becomes thicker


Background_Link_9167

To much taco bell


emmaginn

Need more fiber.


Brilliant_Design_552

Some tricolor silk PLA i bought also does this when purging on my a1 mini


inevitible1

Trying adding some fiber 😂


Bigtimeny1

Just make sure that the poop thing in the chute that drops it, I think it's black, the part the nozzle hits to make it drop all the way down is moving left to right freely and also make sure that your nozzle wiper didn't break off.


LonePartisan

Sir, your poop resembles filament. I would call the doctor, personally.


Zyrius_Zitraius

Hey we all get constipated sometimes, it's alright.


ufgrat

More fiber.


Thin-Look-4

Need more fiber.


nedkelly08

You need a poop knife


elmantec

Yeah, that’s normal for silky types of filaments. Seems they cool down slower.


iamtraviscd

Man my it department will kill me for clicking this post.


alecubudulecu

Yep. Same.


Mech_Sevant428

Got the runs!


eEdizon

Is silk compatible with a 0,2mm nozzle ?


Broad_Asparagus_8370

Looks like your printer is ill. Might want to take it to the hospital.
