Yes the nozzle seemed to have problems. Once I changed it, it worked perfectly thanks!!

Hi. Thank you for the reply it really helped. I tried printing with wood and this was the result that came out. I printed with 50mm/s. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone. I own an ultimaker extended 2+ and recently bought glow fill,wood fill and brass fill. What are the settings that I should be following to get the best quality prints out of those? Also do you know the normal retraction settings for the printer for pla? Please do let me know

Hi everyone. I have an ultimaker extended 2+. I recently printed using black pla from innofill. There were 2 successful prints however it's not printing rite now eventhough the material is inserting perfectly and when other materials are being printed too. The grinder doesn't seem to have a problem. It inserts perfectly and prints the other filament perfectly but this problem seems to persist for only one specific color of filament. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I should do?

I'm not certain about woodfill - I don't think that will wear down nozzles. But brassfill does and I hear glowfill is even worse. It's okay to use brass nozzles on those - just beware that you might have to throw it away after printing a roll of glowfill. Or buy a steel nozzle or even harder nozzle. 3dsolex has steel nozzles. 0.5mm.
Oh so you suggest that I should go to different nozzle alternatives? Or buy new ones after I print with those type of filaments rite? Thanks for your reply it was really helpful

Can you be more specific on type of material? In one sense it's fine: change materials all you want. In some other senses it's not so fine. PLA is an amazing material but there are some interesting alternatives. What property are you hoping for in your other material? Flexibility? temperature resistance?
I just wanted to change and print with different types of pla and also use different types of materials like wood fill,copper fill etc. I really didn't want to use abs.would the problem still prevail? Thank you for your answer though

Hi,
What can happen when you change filaments:
If you change from PLA to ABS for example, and then back to PLA it can happen that some residues of ABS are still in the nozzle, and because the temperature for PLA is much lower than ABS, it can clog the nozzle.
This is the same for any type of filament really, if the temperatures are different it can happen (but it can also not happen
)As for other types of filament, SteelFill, CarbonFill, GlowFill for example are abrassive for brass nozzles, so you need a stainless steel nozzle (or hardened steel)
Oh!! Thank you
so I shouldn't print wood fill,glow fill,copper fill etc in brass nozzles?Is that rite?

Hello everybody.. I have an ultimaker extended 2+ and I'm currently printing with the basic PLA filament given. I want to buy new special types of filaments. But would it cause any problems if I keep changing my filaments while and for printing? Like say I have steel pla and then later I use a different filament for a different print, would it cause any problems in the long run?

I don't seem to have a problem with the printer though
thanks a lot appreciate the reply -
Hi guys. I'm new to 3D printing. I just bought an ultimaker 2 extended+. As my filament goes into the feeder it tends to get rough like a scaly appearance instead of how smooth it was previously. Could I please have some help here if there is anything I should be worried about or to avoid it? Thank you guys in advance.

The temperature when I printed was 215 and 60. I had to make the retraction settings a bit lower than usual. I'm check the layer height though.
