  • I don’t have this printer and those issues can come from different problems so hard to tell like this.

    Warping may cause layer issues as seen on pictures, stabilising bed temperature could help using an enclosure or maybe by putting your printer elsewhere, especially if it’s close to a colder spot in your house. If the layer issues we see on that picture still there when there is no warping, then reduce speed as it goes up. Tall print will tend to wobble more, which can make nozzle hit print, also nozzle path will not be as accurate after some traveling which can end up with similar layer issues.

    About your clogging issue, what temp (bed and nozzle) do you use for pla?

    You also have a ringing issue



  • If you keep a low infill, top/bottom layers will be rapidly more efficient but will cost more time and material than infill. The amount of wall is also to take into account. Few years back, I remember a test video showing that wall number were actually more efficient than infill. But depending how the test is being done, this might change.








  • Not sure I’m taking about the same thing but what I’ve seen is people printing a couple of layers out of pla then switching to other material to avoid having to mess with glue or else. This is to avoid bounding with plate as it can happen with petg or other material. But in no case I’ve seen people printing entire build area, usually the same size as print + a bit of extra to pull off that pla layer
