How to solve the problem of wire drawing in 3D printing?

Image
 Obvious wire drawing appears when printing is idling. Material: The  3d printer filament  absorbs water and leads to drawing during printing, so it should be dried before printing according to different 3d printing materials(PVA, PA, TPU, PC, PEEK). Printing: Easy-absorbent 3d printer filaments can be printed directly in the air. During the printing process, it should be equipped with a sealed material box, such as eBOX. Slicing: Retraction distance and retraction compensation are set correctly, retraction distance is too high and it is easy to lack of material, too low and easy to draw; path optimization, it is recommended to open the start point alignment function when slicing, close the retraction Z-axis lift, avoid going through the shell when empty range of motion, optimize the slicing printing path, and appropriately reduce the printing speed to achieve the best printing effect, which is of great help to the 3d printer filaments with high viscosity and easy to draw...

Is PLA+ the best 3D printer filament?

Image
Due to its low melting point, PLA is an easy-to-use and affordable  3d printer filament  choice. The formulation of the enhanced PLA+ filament retains the best properties of regular pla filament while repairing some of the less desirable properties such as brittleness, low heat resistance and moisture absorption. Polylactic acid, commonly known as PLA, is one of the most popular desktop 3d printer filament.  PLA filament  is the standard filament choice for most extrusion-based 3D printers because it can print at low temperatures and does not require a heated bed. PLA+  is the material of choice for learning 3D printing because it is easy to print, very cheap, and can produce parts that can be used in a variety of applications. It is also one of the most environmentally friendly filaments on the market today. PLA is derived from plants such as corn and sugar cane, is renewable and most importantly, it is biodegradable. As a bonus, pla filament also allows the pl...

What is PLA?

Image
 PLA, or polylactic acid, is the most commonly used 3D printing material. PLA is made from natural products such as cornstarch, making it more environmentally friendly than other plastics.  PLA filament  can be used for parts, prototypes and products that do not need to withstand high voltage. Advantages of PLA Finished product: + Accurate deposition of each layer for good surface quality + easy post-processing + biodegradable + Available in a variety of colors or easily colored + Roasting increases firmness During manufacturing: + 3D printing is fast and easy + lower printing temperature + low shrinkage Disadvantages of  PLA Finished product: - not durable - softens (may bend or twist) at about 140°F (60°C) - Not resistant to UV light During manufacturing: - Absorb moisture from the air - sometimes clogging the print head Based on the modification of PLA material, eSUN  PLA+  has the characteristics of easy printing of PLA, and also improves the toughness ...
