How to Fix Salmon Skin Problems in 3D Prints
Salmon skin, or Moire issue, in 3D prints manifests as unwanted repeating patterns that detract from the print's aesthetic and precision, necessitating additional post-processing to rectify. This issue can stem from various factors, including loose belts, motor inconsistencies, outdated firmware, and high printing speeds, all of which can disrupt the smooth operation of the 3D printer. Implementing solutions such as tightening belts, using TL smoothers, updating firmware, and adjusting print speeds can significantly alleviate these artifacts and enhance print quality.
- Addressing salmon skin issues not only improves the visual appeal of 3D prints but also underscores the importance of regular maintenance and upgrades in ensuring optimal printer performance.
