My 3D printer needs rest and sleep time after prolonged or multiple printing sessions

Sovol SV06 ACE
1

Hello everyone,

My SV06ACE prints perfect parts with the correct profile using foaming LW-PLA, even larger ones and those that take over 18 hours to print.

However, if I try to print another part after such a longer print, or after two or three shorter prints, I always get several layers with insufficient material, resulting in an unstable object. If I then turn the printer off and let it rest for a few hours, it prints perfectly again. Simply turning it off and on again after a few minutes doesn’t help at all; it actually needs to rest for a longer period, ideally overnight. This mainly affects prints with LW-PLA.

Have any of you experienced this phenomenon with your printers, or do you have any idea what the cause might be?

Best regards,

Klaus

Hey,
It might just be a tired printer that needs a break :joy:
Seriously, I’ve never heard of a problem like that.
Try cleaning your nozzle between prints.
