Excess of the filaments

Hi printers! 

I want to know if there’s a guide to improve this problem because is very uncomfortable to remove the excess on the print (it is dangerous for its)

 

thanks for attention!

RE: Excess of the filaments

If you have a heat gun, blast it good before you take it off the plate and that will get rid of the fine hairs. I have some spools that have been out too long and are definitely starting to get wet and the first indicator is that my prints are getting hairier. You might look into drying out your filament. You can also look into adjusting temps, feed rates, and retractions to also help cut down on hairs.

The E, however, is another matter. If I look at the point above it the gray looks a little squished, but ok. The gray on the E (and R) look super squished and it appears that your nozzle impacted the part a few times. I'd guess that you might have a bed leveling issue. I couldn't use a large portion of my bed due to results similar to what you are seeing and I found I had a 2mm swing from one corner to it's opposite! You might look into something like: https://github.com/PrusaOwners/prusaowners/wiki/Bed_Leveling_without_Wave_Springs

If you're referring to that fine stringing between parts of the print, a hot air gun or very quick pass with a lighter will get rid of most of it.
