Voids and Blobs

[Jeff Ratner]

Getting some random voids in the walls of my prints. Some of the voids have a blob at one end. The same gcode worked fine on a dozen of the same print a few weeks ago. The last 3 prints (two were Hatchbox blue PLA and one was Hatchbox matte white PLA) all have these random voids. I tried drying the roll of blue and doing a cold pull with nylon filament right before the white PLA print but still getting the voids. It is a corexy printer with an E3D V6 hot end. Any suggestions?

Retraction settings?

I will also add, that although the prints worked before - and change in filament CAN impact your printing quality. Like - maybe - the new roll/different color - might need to print at a higher or lower print. 

 

What you wrote about sounds like a Flow problem, which can potentially be caused by a Temp issue. Or, other factor...

Something like this could be attributed to so many things. Aside from the things already suggested it could look like a slicer/gcode problem? The gcode that was used before was it on this exact printer?
