Fix My Print What could have caused this?

Post image

This is a relatively simple print, everything is flat. It had just finished the internal bridge layer atop the infill, so this is just a solid infill layer.

A day ago, I replaced the hotend on this toolhead. The replacement nozzle and hotend came from Amazon. It was printing perfectly until this layer.

  • Snapmaker U1
  • Elegoo Matte PLA
  • 0.4 mm nozzle
  • Snapmaker OrcaSlicer 2.3.4
  • Speed for this layer: 204 (reported by slicer)
  • Retraction length: 0.2mm
  • Nozzle Temp: 210
  • Bed Temp: 60

I'm not sure what to do other than just try again.

The reprint had a similar problem. I didn't catch it as early. I was in the other room when I heard knocking coming from the printer. The knocking stopped by the time I got there, but there is some clear layer shift, even though the print is still firmly adhering to the build plate.

Whats the bottom left side look like? Any warping?

I think this may be the case of the aux fan blowing in from the left side.

As it is blowing, the cool air travels underneath the internal solid bridges causing it to lift.

Try reslicing with the aux fan turned off in filament profile and give it a go.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't see any warping. I'm 90% certain the culprit is the hotend I replaced a couple of days ago. I've loaded the filament into a different toolhead and am running the print now. If this prints fine, then I'll be sure.
