Moon lamp issues

ScoobyDoo · 14 Apr 2024 at 19:02

Has anyone tried printing out the moon lamp that's very popular on thingiverse?

I get perfect prints on my ender 3v2 but I can't get this to print without having holes in various places, only small but they ruin the print.

Just wondered if anyone had similar issues or managed to print one perfectly?

Geetech white pla at 205. I got rid of the bits but im going to try printing again in the next few days.
Ive printed out a spool retainer as the filament spool was moving on the holder so wondered if it could have been a slight snag causing it.
Ive also turned on 'thin walls' in Cura.
Printed some other pieces today with the same filament and settings in cura at 0.2 layer height and they've come out perfect, so ill try with the 'thin wall' cura setting and spool
retainer and see what happens.

Sorted the issue. Using an older STL.
The new NASA one prints perfectly, 20hrs later and it finished it looks great
