PETG droop on overhang?
I'm printing in PETG with a fairly small overhang, but I'm getting these bulges where the filament doesn't cool enough and droops. There are other prints I do which don't have this issue, so I'm not sure what I can do to improve this. Any suggestions welcome, thanks 👍
Curling issues on my V-Minion
I've been having some issues with certain prints when it comes to curling.
E.g. printing a cylinder vertically comes out superb, but trying to print it on its side causes curling (also things like octagon-shaped objects)
I mostly print PLA at a temperature of 195°C.
Let me just note that I really don't think bed adhesion is the issue. I saw a lot of threads in which people say that but the issue isn't specific to the first layer(s). ...
surface stramgeness
Has anyone had this happen to them?
The surface is otherwise very nice except for that line which looks like it follows the deck shape....
Potential pressure advance issue
I this a pressure advance issue? My infill doesn't always quite fill the gaps when it gets to the edge and I see these divets on all my prints at layer changes.
OVERTURE LW-PLA issues after seam.
Hi there. I am really struggling with this filament. I seem to struggle to extrude after retraction. But it's not all the time. I've attached a few photos which I hope lets you see the issue.
I'm trying to print the GasbONE rc plane from thingiverse. Outerwalls are 0.4mm with infill at 0.5mm.

Layer line all of the sudden?
From time to time I get these random lines (left side in basket), where do I start check for errors?

Banding on print
Hello all, and thanks in advance for any help. my vcore 500 is having these banded lines on the print at certain points. I am not sure what to do, I ran through all of orca slicers tests to calibrate recently, so im not sure where to go next. I am not sure if it is mechanical or software. Any tips to point me in a direction would be very helpful.
First Layer Issue with Beacon
Hello, I have a vcore 500mm and just installed a beacon probe. after running it my first layer was bad and seemed to be very inconsistent. Its high in areas and way to low in others. I can see the z axis moving when its printing so I know something is happening. Any advice on how to fix this?
I attached an image of the first layer to show how some areas are fine and others are awful.

Very bad surface quality (V-Minion, LGX Lite + Rapido 2+)
I recently assembled my first V-minion, standard kit but with a Rapido V2. Everything seems to be working properly, but I am getting very bad surface quality on the prints, as shown in the images.
I have done rotation distance calibration, and tested several flow rates, but I always seem to get faulty extrusion and very noticeable layer lines. Print settings are default Prusa slicer settings for the V-Minion.
I print exclusively PETG, but so far I have tried two brands. Photos are Prusament gray PETG, brand new roll (that's literally the first print with that roll)....
weird ripples started to appear.
Here are 2 different prints that I saw this happen to but I cant figure out what is going on to make this pattern. (Ratrig 3.1 500x500 printer)

Newly built V-Core, ringing like crazy
I’ve just put this thing together and done my first few test prints. The ringing and corner bulging is extreme, even though I’m only doing 120mms at 3k accel. I’m guessing this is from something mechanical, the resonances can’t be this bad at this slow speed, right? I tensioned the belts a little extra and it got worse. I just don’t know where to start with this issue.
DDEX print issues and tuning log.
Now that I've got RatOS playing nicely and the mesh in a good place I can finally start one of these threads in here.
Similarly to other threads I'm just kinda posting a log of my changes and troubleshooting in the hopes that others might come in with advice as I make progress....
