Getting wavy / ribbed prints
Posted: May 26th, 2018, 7:42 pm
Hi folks. I could really use some help, as I'm at a loss on this one. Recently I started printing some storage containers for a board game and, initially, things were going fine. The last few sets of prints, however, have developed the 'wave' / ribbed pattern you can see in the pictures. I'm printing two of the containers at a time, 'stacked' along the Y axis.
It's most prominent at the ends of the Y-axis, but is also found on the X-axis.
Possibly useful information:
Slicer - Simplify3D
Firmware - stock from Hictop, 3DP-11 or 12
Layer Height - 0.2mm
Filament - Tianse Black
About the images:
First - Side view of one of the containers. The wavy / rib is most present near the part of the print towards 0 on the Y-axis and fades as it gets closer to the middle
Second - side view of one of the container's inside.
Third - top of the 'top' most print on the Y-axis. It's Y-axis bottom is fairly smooth
Fourth - bottom of the 'bottom' most print on the Y-axis. It's Y-axis top is mostly okay
