Yo guy noob here,
I have recently bought my self a sidewinder x2 as my first 3d printed, and I don’t know much about 3d printing for now, anyway to get a good understanding on how great I have calibrated the printer I have printed the usual benchy, but I have this spots on the print
(can’t embedded any images because of the lemmyshitpost drama)
Are they normal? And if not how can I fix them?
Yeah, that’s normal. That’s the seam – where each layer starts/stops. Yours don’t look any worse than mine.
Sometimes you can tweak settings to reduce them a bit, but the only way to avoid them completely is to print in spiral/vase mode (which is very limiting: 1 contiguous perimeter, no infill).
More importantly: You can control where they appear on the part! Your slicer may have settings like ‘nearest’ , ‘random’, ‘aligned’, ‘rear’, or may have a way to paint on the part in the UI where the seams should be. Seams are clearly visible when they’re in the middle of an otherwise-smooth expanse like the side of your boat there, but are barely noticeable if you put them on a corner.
Ok thank you my guy ❤️
