    Question on part bottom

    in UltiMaker 3D printers

    Posted

    The bottom surface of my parts has changed. The first parts I printed were pretty smooth and almost glossy. Now, even when I print the same files, I can see the individual beads of plastic and it looks more like woven fabric.

    Any ideas on what changed or is going wrong?

    Even when I tried that it didn't work. I managed to clean the original Bowdn tube and used that and now printing is fine again.

    Thank you for your invaluable help. I despaired for a while but with help I resolved this issue.

    I meant that after the filament has reached the nozzle (or close) it starts making noise and jerking. No material is extruded. I assume it isn't going into the white teflon part????

    My old Bowden tube got a lot of melted PLA in the first 1-2 inches. I couldn't clean it out.

    I bought 10' of PTFE tubing on Amazon 1/4" OD and 1/8" ID.

    Any ideas?

    I am making progress but have a new problem. Using the atomic method I got the nozzle free and I when I feed filament by hand it extrudes.

    1. Just for information,what type of screw holds fan assembly on? Is that a torq or?

    2. Now for the real problem. I installed a new Bowden tube I cut. Filament flows through it nicely. When it gets to the head it starts hiccuping. I assume tht it is getting hung up on the entrance to the white Teflon tube. How do I fix that or is the problem elsewhere?

    Thanks!

    I tried the atomic cleaning but I can't get a syringe into the orifice. I don't have 3d vision (ha ha but true) so that is almost impossible for me. Are there any other approaches? Can I take apart the head? If so where do I find detailed directions.

    Thanks!

    Thank you. I was able to remove the filament and it was heavily gouged.

    What I found was that after reinsertion i still get no material through the hot end.

    I se there is blue (the color PLA I am using) deposits on the end of the bowdon tube. Do i have a jam? How do I clear it in the easiest manner?

    THANKS!

    I have a new Ultimaker 2. i've made a few prints that worked well. I went away for a week after printing for the first time last weekend. I left the default blue PLA that came with the printer in place. When I came back and tried to print no plastic extruded. When I tried to change material the wheels turned but the filament didn't move. i assume these are linked problems.

    Help - what do i do?
