Blobs on PLA prints are common issues caused by excess filament extrusion or poor retraction settings.
To prevent blobs on PLA prints, follow these quick tips:
- Optimize Retraction: Adjust retraction distance (4–6 mm for Bowden, 1–2 mm for Direct Drive) and speed (40–60 mm/s).
- Calibrate Extrusion: Fine-tune the extrusion multiplier to avoid over-extrusion (reduce to ~95%).
- Enable Coasting: Stop extrusion slightly before travel moves to reduce filament buildup.
- Lower Temperature: Use the lowest effective temperature (190–210°C) to minimize oozing.
- Increase Travel Speed: Set speeds to 150–200 mm/s to reduce filament drips during moves.
- Use Quality Filament: Ensure PLA is high-quality and moisture-free.
- Clean the Nozzle: Regularly clean or replace the nozzle to maintain smooth flow.
- Enable Wipe Settings: Add wiping movements to clean the nozzle during layer transitions.
