Different colors giving different results

Vertex 3D Printer Vertex - Issues while printing
1

So i got my printer up and running last weekend. In extruder 1 i have yellow Esun and extruder 2 i have green Esun filament. Both brand new. Printing the yellow filament comes out pretty good. I still get thin stringys sometimes, but not really that bad, and the surfaces come out pretty good.

Printing green, i get more strings, and the edges of my parts feel like they have little pricks on them. The final product doesn’t feel as smooth. The settings are the same for the two.

Any ideas? I don’t know anything about adjusting temp and feed rate yet.

Feed rate 80%
Temp 210

So far though, i have been very impressed with my yellow prints.

Thanks

I think color has a serious impact on the print, my first PLA was grey lots of jams when I changed to red my problems went away.

I found some info here hope It helps :http://reprap.org/wiki/PLA

Thanks,

That is interesting that the different colors affect the print job. Now i have to try out my other two colors and see how they work

[quote=“jrmany”]Feed rate 80%
Temp 210[/quote]Try 75% and 195-200°. It gives better results with Esun filament.

Thank you raby. I will try that on my next print.
