PLA Temperature Test – Fourth Attempt = Continued Failure

This is my fourth attempt at what I considered to be a fantastic little ‘torture test’ for the Artillery Sidewinder X1 printer.

I realised I couldn’t solve this on my own so I sought help from a group on Facebook. Others kindly suggested different print settings and especially on the subject of retraction.

I applied these settings in Cura, sliced the file, modified the .GCode file to apply the temperature settings at the appropriate layers and transferred the file over to the printer.

Everything was looking fine initially and certainly much better than before until disaster happened once again.

I am beginning to wonder whether the machine is not capable of printing this very specific test.

Thank you for watching.
