Layers Splitting Apart
Posted: Sat Jul 06, 2013 6:41 pm
Hello again. So I seem to have a very nice printer over here, making some amazing looking vases. I've moved onto making complete structures now, but I am running into a serious splitting problem. It seems that some of the layers have trouble adhering to each other, so they split apart, making big gaps in the print. This is the thing I am trying to print: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:110717
Bellow are some shots of the model after it is printed, showing off the splits.

As you can see in the pics, there are a lot of splits in the object. Bellow is the printing information:
I still need to calibrate the hot end temp. I am using one of the new J-Heads from hotends.com. Any ideas what could be causing these big splits? Temp not high enough (I think the hot end is fine, it gets quite a few bubbles, but not to much to affect the print quality), object cooling at different rates, ect? Thanks!
