]Hey guys,

Just got my new Orion delta a week ago and I've been having a lot of fun with it, obviously a lot of tweaking and finding that sweet spot / failed prints have happened but a lot of good ones too. I seem to be getting very odd results today, and I can't seem to fix it, no matter where I put the print, so matter the speed, i keep getting this result from the side that is away from the fan. how can one side be perfect and the other horrible. I find it clumps on the left side, no matter what, and i don't think it's the tower calibration, i just calibrated them recently. Any ideas?

what material are you printing with and at what temp?? Since its printing good on the side with the cooling fan, I would think your printing too hot.

Hmmmm maybe, i hadn't thought of that, I've had some prints turn out perfect though, i'm using PLA with a 210 printing temp, 60 bed temp and i've played with the fan being at 50% and 100%, can't see a difference.

Try dropping to 185'-190' on the pla and shut the bed heat off after the first couple of layers.

I would suppose the ones that turned out fine were larger prints than this one? Larger prints usually get a larger surface area for the print head to waste time tracking along, giving the rest of a layer time to cool.

Like DavidF is saying, if you're printing too hot on smaller pieces, the layer fan will do its job on the parts that it can, but the parts that don't get cool air won't come out as nice.

Thanks both of you! It was exactly that problem, repetier was set by default to 60C and 210C, so i figured it was the default temp for PLA haha ah well, lesson learned and it is now printing amazing.

Thanks!
