Poor prints, help...

Post by krazyking01 »

I'll start with the problem. First several layers look great. They are uniform in thickness all the way around. Several hours later I go back and the layers have pulled up and are curling all the way around. I have blobs of plastic all the way around in random places. (I'll get pictures next chance I am able.) Odd thing is, this just started happening after several near perfect prints.

I've calibrated this thing 8 ways from Sunday and it is as near perfect as it is going to get. Center, X, Y, and Z all catch the paper within .02mm of 0. The nozzle is at 230 and the bed is at 95. I calibrated the machine with it at these temperatures as well. I'm printing ABS on blue masking tape coated with ABS slurry. I have it retracting 4mm whenever it has to move 2mm or more. My speeds are only sitting at 40mm/s. Can anybody help?
