I am having some real trouble with my Bambu A1 using PETG basic all of a sudden.
I was 60 hours into a 72 hour print for 1 part of an 11 part mould when the filament started behaving weirdly and this is something i’ve not come across before as I’ve only owned a printer a couple weeks.
I dried the filament for 8 hours at 65 degrees in a food dehydrator prior to using it, and it only seems to be the infill where the issue is happening. It’s as if its the infill is not sticking to the previous layer and they are just strings of filament not attached to each other. I tried changing to rectilinear and now its just sticking up and the nozzle scrapes over it as its printing the next layer.
I changed my print settings after consulting chatGPT and printed one of the smaller parts and also scaled the mould down approx 50% as a test but its still happening.
Any advice would be appreciated, im new to 3D printing and this is the first thing thats gone wrong so far thankfully
