  • I would have guessed the same as others that it was interactions between the nozzle and the bed or some texture on the bed. Especially since we don’t see any normal extrusion lines which are normal on the first layer.

    Since you’re confident it’s not, are there artifacts elsewhere on your prints that might be a clue? Is there anything going on with your nozzle? Maybe some wear, chips,or inconsistent flow? If you print just the first layer what does it look like from the top? Does it help describe what we’re seeing?












  • Maybe. I actually have a dehydrator I use with plenty of airflow.

    But I think that only solves part of the problem because that makes it really good at drying the outside but it’s still going to have trouble past the first couple layers. I think the fact moisture would also have a hard time penetrating means current options work well enough.for most people.

    Anecdotally I can support this, recently I had a particularly old roll of petg that I dried for a larger print and later in the print started getting all stringy and messy.
