That looks good. The failed print was with the same filament brand?
I case you didn't read this :
okay got it, so minimum fan speed 30% and max 100% right?
-
yeps all the same, bought in the same shop Trideus
http://www.icefilaments.com/ I think these are their own branded filaments.
Sold on the trideus site : http://www.trideus.be/nl/filament/pla/ice-filaments-pla/
You think I'll have better luck with the ultimaker of colorfabb filaments?

As what I read now, these are my changes for the next print.
- remove the blue tape and clean the glass before I print (Didierklein)
- adjust travel speed to 150mm/s (Neotko)
These changes will make very little difference. In general glass is an improvement over blue tape but blue tape worked fine for many years as long as you clean it with alcohol to remove the wax. But you seem to have more serious issues. The back of the chair is starting to look better but the lower part is a mess and I can't tell what it's supposed to look like. It appears that maybe you have underextrusion so I would go 10mm/sec slower on the printing part (and yes 150mm/s on travel) and I would go 10C hotter - your temp sensor may be off by 10 or 30C and that can cause your printer to print too cool (or hot) and too cool means plastic is viscous (like toothpaste instead of honey) so maybe 10C hotter will help. I wouldn't go over 240c until you have things working well. Can you print something simpler maybe that I know what I'm looking at? A 1 cm X 1cm X 1cm cube maybe?
will try that too and keep you posted, about the small stuff, i've printed small objects without an issue :
it's with the more complex objects that it's going wrong

Try a 30%. If I remember Cura will ramp the fan power each layer it get's close to the target height? Sorry I have not touch cura since they updated.
I recommend that since you are a beginner the settings department, that you should try to print easier stuff to test. If the air it's too high too-soon it might unstick and warp the print from the bed (mostly on edges), if it's too low the top layers and unsupported angles will curl-up.
For really complex angles that are just at the start of the print, the best solution for pla it's to use blue tape with the bed off (0ºC on setting). This way you can just put the fan to the max (or a setting more correct) to make clean raising angles.
It really depends on the model, the speed, the temp... For a complex print, everything matters to get a perfect finish. But in your case you are just looking to print ok for now. So, first. Print 2 boxes a bit separed to check that strings on the head. Also raise the speed as DidierKlein pointed out, this will make the head to move much faster so it will 'drip' less. Also since you are printing at 210C and the mm3 are so little, I think you could try printing at 190-200C. This need's a proper test on each machine can change. If it's too low the motor will skip and underextruder, if it's ok it will fill the layers just fine.
Ofc note that I'm talking about pla, every material has it's settings.
okay got it, so minimum fan speed 30% and max 100% right?

It was at 0.5mm? Then get the fan at higher speeds. That base bumps look exactly like the problem show on the 3dprinting guide at http://support.3dverkstan.se/article/23-a-visual-ultimaker-troubleshooting-guide Check the first image 'Pillowing'
minimum and maximum speed is 100% now, to what should I change it?
-
Try to change the fan so it starts as 0.8mm. A 50% should clean that bumpy base. The retraction should be fine by default. Try printing two blocks separeted by 2mm to see if all works as it should.
it's default on 0.5mm so i should put it on 0.8mm right? it's the "fan full on height" setting right?
-
Ok maybe Neotko or somebody else can help me out with the advanced cooling en retraction settings?
-
okay, any tips for the cooling and retraction settings?
-
Hi,
This is the model I tried to print : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:158240
About the retraction and fan settings, I haven't enabled extra settings for this part in Cura.
I use Cura 15.06.03 and I can enable and disable cooling fan and retraction with no extra settings. Both settings are enabled.
Should I enable some of the advanced settings for retraction and fan settings? Which ones and what should be the perfect settings for this model?
As what I read now, these are my changes for the next print.
- remove the blue tape and clean the glass before I print (Didierklein)
- adjust travel speed to 150mm/s (Neotko)
anything else I'm missing here?

Hello Didier from Belgium!
Here are my settings :
PLA
Printbed 60°
Printing temp 210°
Flow 100%
Layer height 0,08mm
Shell thinkness 0.8mm
Enable retraction : yes
Printspeed : 30mm/s
Travelspeed : 120mm/s
Printspeed botom layer : 20mm/s
Infill 15%
No support and no platform adhesion
Extra question: Is there a way to view the settings of a gcode file used in Cura?
About the blue tape... that's what they advised me at the shop Trideus...
-
hey guys,
I made some progress ...
From :
To :
But as you can see, still not the 3D print that I want.
Any tips of what I'm doing wrong?
kind regards

The only official Belgium reseller for Ultimaker (according to this site), Trideus.be
The second "only" belgium reseller
http://www.ideato3d.be/en/shop/
Ow I didn't know. I went through https://ultimaker.com/en/resellers and there was only 1 reseller on the map for Belgium
-
hmm ok, I was only doing what the shop told me to do.
now i'm curious :)which shop gave the blue tape advice?

Don't shoot them, they were extremely friendly to me!

hmm ok, I was only doing what the shop told me to do.
So I'll get rid of the blue tape, clean my printbed with alcohol, re-calibrate my printbed and post feedback soon.
-
nope, I didn't clean it with alcohol. What kind of alcohol should I use and should I clean the bed before each print?
I'll also re-calibrate my printbed.
Are my settings for printing ok? (the screenshot 1 & 2 in the initial post)

It did move... :(

hello,
I'm using an Ultimaker 2 and PLA (original from ultimaker) filament.
I always add 20 lines of brim but they were removed before I took the picture.

Hello people,
I'm kinda new to 3D printing... So sorry for being noobish. I'm not even sure this is the correct forum I'm posting. 8)
I have no problems with small prints with my Ultimaker 2
But as soon as I start printing larger objects it goes terribly wrong...
The last print (the Frozen statue) was printed with these settings = screenshot 1 and screenshot 2
What am I doing wrong? Are any settings wrong or any other advanced settings that need to be enabled and adjusted?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Frederiek
Something went wrong again... what exactly?
in Coffee corner

As promised some feedback.
I've been reading the past few days about tips & tricks for my Ultimaker 2.
This is a new print and I'm quite proud about it too
More to come, more complex prints are coming and I'll keep you guys posted.
THANKS A LOT, this was not possible without you guys. Much appreciated! <3
