Over-Extrusion Over-extrusion occurs when the printer deposits more filament than required, leading to visible blobs, layer inconsistencies, and dimensional inaccuracies. It is caused by incorrect flow rate, nozzle diameter, or temperature settings. Calibrating extrusion multipliers, flow rate, and retraction settings resolves over-extrusion issues. Advanced slicing software detects and compensates for over-extrusion by adjusting toolpaths and speed. Regular nozzle maintenance and using high-quality filaments also prevent over-extrusion. Proper extrusion control ensures smooth surfaces and precise dimensions. |
