Still not good, very similar to last PHA sample. PTSample49

Still not good, very similar to last PHA sample.

Line spacing might be too high, as the adhesion between layers is suffering (Classic ABS). Might be that this is printed in an open printer, will try later in an enclosed one. Warping is definitely less than the other ABS sample. PTSample48

First time ABS, printed in open air on the BBL A1 Mini. Layer adhesion is very good, only in the extremities there is some artifacting. Warps a lot though PTSample46

Does not look well at all. It looks like a fly got stuck between two of the layers. Don't know exactly what needs changing yet. PTSample42

Tried to mitigate the gaps by increasing the perimeter overlap. Might be the best sample so far. Waves are good and adhere well with each other. PTSample38

Print overall is very good, slight warping in the overhang caused some overextrusion in subsequent layers. PTSample35

Even better than last sample. Warping only near the smaller wave segments but minimal. Tuning line spacing such that there is barely the adhesion to suspend the material mid air might give the best results. However, there are gaps starting to form near the perimeter as a result of the line spacing. PTSample33

Very good sample, increased the line spacing to above 0.4 to 0.42. The only issue on this sample is the warping in the area with concentrated waves. PTSample32

Small amount of layer separation, as seen in photo 2. Minimal warping, only near the smaller waves. On the top side, the waves and perimeter do not properly connect, but can already be seen in the gcode viewer. PTSample31

First decent PLA-CF print. There is a weird texture on both the bottom and top surface, which could be the cause of too much overlap. Layer adhesion is better than PTSample25. A lot of warping is still observed. PTSample26

Tried upping the wave flow to see effect. Apart from a small disconnection in the inner corner of the sample, the print looks great. A lot of warping is present though. PTSample22

A lot of overextrusion, very much visible on both the top and bottom. Warping caused the nozzle to interfere when printing the perimeters, causing the sample to fly off the build plate. Accidentally used the wrong filament profile, temperatures were higher than normally used. PTSample20
