Ok, I am waitting.

Oh my god, I am a week behind! is it too late to order a full set? I am from Australia. Thanks.

Thank you very much for your help, the scar is happened at where the pattern changes for inline to outline, the wall is printed at two round, at the corner it shakes and start the second round.

I am sorry, I have made a mistake, it's actually the Y motor is hotter and louder than X motor.

Also the X motor is hotter than Y motor after a hour print, also the X axis has bigger noise, try to adjust everything still not fixed, is it suppose to be like that?

Hi Guys, just want to show some more pics, here are some new print that I just did and want to ask some new questions. The left robot was printed when the machine just assembled, the right one is the new one printed with new settings. old: speed: 80, temp: 220, slice: 0.2mm, filament: 2.89 new: speed: 50, temp: 210, slice: 0.1mm, filament: 2.85 (more driver belt tension, more extruder tension) I can see the surface finish and overhang problems are improved, however other problems has become more obvious. the Z scar is worse due to smoother surface, but the biggest problem at the moment is the "wave" looking behind every turning point. it's seems the hot end has been vibrating every time it's changes direction, and that was the reason I try to increase the belt tension. The following pic shows how bad the wave can get on a smooth finish. Also noticed the right hand lower corner of the object has left up a bit. Not sure thats called warping? Any one could help please?

Thanks for all the info, sounds like a lot to learn, will keep eye on those things. I am doing a lots of readings around so will have a better idea.

Ok, First of all, you guys are amazing, did not see friendly forums like this one for ages. Big thanks to both of you. The first two things I printed out was one of the fan duct and a bowden clamp (showed on picture is not my own), cause the bowden tube keep jumps out. they came out really good and I am happy with them. the clamp worked good, I would recommend them for new users. now for the questions, I kept temperature at 220C, you were right, cura's setting for filament is 2.89mm, I double checked the filament roll I got from ultimaker shop. sticker said they are 2.85, so changed that, I think it improved a little. I will play around with the temperature settings to see whats going to happen, sorry I went to the lazy way that just asking questions around here but I am glad you guys are very helpful. I think the extruder works fine as I can see little teeth marks on the filament. Checked screw, it was not too tightened, but, after a few hours print, I noticed one nut was loosed in the x-axies blocks, so I would recommend other new users to check around after a few print. Will try to change the slice hight see what happens. Could I ask whats the "warping problems" I going to have? only on large prints? so I can keep eye on it. Thanks for all of you.

Hi guys Just assembled my ultimaker, took me about 15+ hours. Tried to print some parts and very happy with what it can do. However there are some imperfections with the result, I want to find out whether everyone get it or just my machine. and how to improve. Do you guys get those bumps or gaps in the layers? I was using Cura with normal quality print settings, then for the forth part I tried increase print speed from 50mm/s to 80mm/s and it worked alright, slightly loose of quality but acceptable. Anyway, thanks guys
