As you can see the left side of the edge came out jagged. The right side came out just fine. What happened to the left side? I am using Ender 3 + BLTouch using Sunlu PLA+ with 200 °C hotend. Here are my retraction settings (if that matters):

How to configure PrusaSlicer to prevent printing in the air

It is difficult to describe with words what's happening, so take a look at the picture. Somehow PrusaSlicer decides to move and print in the air (blue line), where instead it can continue going from outwards to inward. I understand it wants to print…

I only have experience with PrusaSlicer, where if I have one .STL file containing multiple volumes, I can click a Split to parts button to then be able to change color of the individual volumes. Do other slicer softwares handle this similarly or…

Why does Prusaslicer set the final temperature in two steps?

I'm using PrusaSlicer 2.5.0 and printing the sliced G-code on a Creality CR-6 SE via a USB-connected OctoPrint/OctoPi. As you can see, the slicer sets the temperature by G-code commands in two steps (final temperature is 205 °C). This seems strange…

Prints coming out with jagged lines on the sides, rough edges

I am pretty new to 3D-printing, and I have just finished assembling my Prusa i3 a few days ago. I finished up basic calibrations, which went fine, but noticed my prints were coming out with a bunch of rough lines on the sides. I looked online, and…

I am printing on a Prusa i3 MK3S+ with MMU2S module using PVA+ soluble material and PLA. Slicing with PrusaSlicer 2.3.1. This question is more about slicing and is probably printer-independent. My problem is the default pattern makes the surface not…

Prusa MK3S not extruding during printing but extruder working

I didn't have any printer-related problem for the past 6 months, but now all of a sudden my Prusa MK3S stopped extruding during printing. This is very strange as I can easily load\unload filament and control the step motor via Settings\Move…
