Hello to all.
Here is a new member of this magnificent forum.
I have bought my Ultimaker just one month ago and looking forward to learn exploit this miracle machine.
" If you want some honey be prepared to wasp's sting" as they said.
Some problems needs to be solved.
I have tried to print couple of parts loaded from Thingiverse with my Ultimaker.
With ABS printer worked very well but when I changed filament to PLA, troubles began.
First printer make the "grid net" below the object just fine but some 10-15 layers after, appears the first loose strings.
This means that object printing must be canceled to avoid waste of filament.
I have Cura 12.08 on my computer and it works well with the Ultimaker.
Here is the profile of printing parameters that with I tried to print PLA:

What can I do to get my Ultimaker to print PLA properly?
Can someone please help me?
