Right now i am printing a simple storage box. After a few layers i noticed a ticking noise. I saw that it moves a few degrees clockwise (perhaps 7 degrees) and it ticks and moves back a little bit (perhaps 3 degrees). Any idea why this happens? It is dangerous for the printer?
I am pretty new at printing and this is the first time I print with 0.2 mm layer height (usually use 0.1 mm). I am printing at 90% flow (using cura slicer).
If you go to “tune print job” on the lcd there is “flow”, and “flow1”. Both are at 100. Should I change any flow rate?
The print itself looks pretty good to me, but perhaps there is a tiny space between each row (in the bottom plate of the box). Maybe slightly more than usual.
If the extruder is ticking, it means it’s trying to feed more filament the head can extrude. So you’ll have to reduce the flow : 75-80% is usually enough. It can also happen if your nozzle is partially clogged and can’t let through enough filament.
[quote=“engi”]And what is the difference between those compared to the flow setting in cura slicer?[/quote]It’s basically the same. In Cura the value is included in your G-code. On the LCD you can modify it on the fly if you notice the printer is over extruding. Be aware that on the LCD it’s not an absolute value : if you set 80% in Cura and than 80% in the LCD you’ll get 80% of the 80% and perhaps too low a value.
flow and flow1 will have the same effect. The “Flow” variable modifies the value for both extruders and Flow1 the value of extruder 1.
