Trying to add text to the bottom of prints and the quality is inconsistent

Jump

  • Unfortunately I have the date on the top (which comes out great at least) but this thread has given me a lot of things to try!

  • It's a one month old printer so I hope it wouldn't have that, but it's so nice looking compared to my previous printer that I hadn't thought about the fact it could have manufacture defects...

  • Interesting, I haven't heard of using chamfers before, that's a cool addition, I'll look into that!

  • Awesome, thank you! Giving this a watch!

  • This is such ridiculously good and interesting information, thank you so much! I know what I'm going to be going through and testing the heck out of this weekend haha

  • Do you have any recommendations for tuning filament? I've found a few videos I'm going to watch tonight, but one thing that's interesting is I just switched from a CR-10 to a K1 Max, and at the same time from Simplify3D to Creality Print and checking my old S3D profile, my flow modifier was at 1.0, but on CPrint it's at 0.95. That seems weird, but also it's manufacturer software with their printer so I'd assume they know what they're doing, but then it gives weird prints like this.

  • Yeah no you’re right and I appreciate you bringing it up. Talked about it with my wife and had an additional “is this even a nice ‘magic moment’ if it’s shilling a store?” Going to go back to blank backs and just have a little card to hand out if folks specifically ask!

  • Would it seem less weird to you if it was an Etsy link or just creepy regardless?

  • Hmm that’s a good point I hadn’t thought about, I’ll have to think on this a bit more but also in general want to get it cleaned up for future projects.

  • In theory no only because there are a ton of things like this on Etsy, but that’s something to think (worry) about haha

  • Oh 100% yeah. Only doing this for the ones my wife is handing out and even then I’d prefer they look nicer as it reflects on me. The top side has the date on it and that thankfully consistently comes out fine!

  • Yeah I just moved to a K1 Max and have auto leveling for the first time, and the five batches that varied were from the same bed location so I’ll go through and make sure everything is tightened up, thank you for the idea!

  • So it wouldn’t be indented really, just kind of there so drawn into the bottom layer? I’ll give that a try and see how that looks!

  • Back to back prints so that may play into it, good point! Haven’t used it for a day so I’m kicking off a calibration and then printing a five batch to see how that looks.

    For consistent preheating are you meaning like preheat the bed and hot end and then run the calibration? I just moved to a K1 Max from a CR-10 that I paper leveled so I’m very new to auto leveling and tricks for that. Thank you for the feedback!

    • Any recommendations for refillable PLA filament?

  • I’ll check this out, thanks! Going to be printing a lot of terrain soon so easier painting is always nice

    • Any recommendations for refillable PLA filament?

  • The latter, yeah! My BIL got a Bamboo and they have an unspooled program that looks nice but if you're not on their subscription it's a bit pricer. I'll check out Filaments.ca, thank you!

  • Super just curious, what kind of form factor are you looking for? Any upcoming releases that match it?
