Hey Guys,
First post here. I am working with a a new Ultimaker 2. Prints were going fine for a while, but I am thinking I now have a problem with under-extrusion. See below:
Settings Were:
Layer Height: 0.08 mm
Shell Thickness: 0.8 mm
Enable Retraction: Checked
Bottom/Top Thickness: 0.08 mm
Fill Density: 24%
Print Speed: 20 mm/s
Support Type: Touching Build-plate
Nozzle Size: 0.4 mm
Support Settings:
Structure Type: Grid
Overhang Angle for support: 60 degrees
Fill Amount: 27%
Distance X/Y: 0.95 mm
Distance Z: 0.15 mm
Can you guys confirm that this is an under-extrusion issue, and what I might be able to do to combat it? I have tried the Atomic Pull Cleaning Method several times recently after a bunch of stuff got melted to the nozzle and I was coming out clean. I have printed a number of times since then, but the under-extrusion seems to have started around that time, and slowly gotten worse. I tried another version of the print with thinner layers and 100% fill. That came out OK, but one corner curled up a lot and the overhang for the cavity in the middle on the underside was pretty rough.
Any help or insight you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
-Dan
