Hi everyone!
I’m translating my messages through ChatGPT, so I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes.
The issue I’m facing is that after the Fuse 1+ finishes printing, there’s a lot of loose and partially sintered powder around the build area. I’ve attached a photo showing what it looks like.
There used to be some excess powder before, but not nearly as much as now — and there was no sintered powder around the build area at all.
What could be causing this?
Could it be related to the powder not being clean enough, and could that lead to such artifacts?
I’m using Nylon 12 v1.
Has anyone experienced and solved a similar problem?

I have also seen a huge increase in the excess powder around the build area. If I print a full chamber there’s a lot of excess powder and it is always partially sintered. If it’s a short print, I still have some excess, but it’s not always partially sintered.
I think it has something to do with the print setting. I used to run Default only and I never had much excess powder. If I remember correctly, when I switched to Speed Optimized (which is the new Default) the excess powder issue started. From my experience, the only consequence of excess powder is waste, so I haven’t done any troubleshooting to resolve it.
@RelynUA @jmasterson could you please attach a photo of what you’re seeing? It helps a lot to have a visual reference.

That’s what my machine looked like after aging a cake of powder last week. I cant say if it looked like that after the bed temp calibration since it unloaded the entire cake into the machine.
I hadn’t seen this much powder buildup on the pa12 gf prints I did prior to switching to pa12
Good morning!
Here’s what it looks like on my machine @jmasterson — it’s very similar.
My print settings have been “Default” from the day I bought it until now, and this result started appearing literally in the last 3–4 print jobs.

And this is not a full build chamber — it’s only about half filled.

This stuff makes me laugh. They want to control what powder customers can use for “quality assurance” but make changes like that reduce the customers experience. SMH
