Hello all,
I use a Ultimaker 3 extended at my workspace for almost a year now. Never had any kind of problems with it untill last week. I came into work on a morning only to see that the ABS had built up inside the nozzle head. I don't have a clue why and how this could happen. The printer was printing overnight.
I attached some photos because they say more than a 1000 words. I used the correct nozzle: AA. This print was only using the right side AA nozzle. I used Cura on custom settings. Before printing I had just changed the ABS filament for the correct color.
Printing temp: 240 degrees Celsius
Bed temp: 110 degrees Celsius
Both printing cores were damaged beyong any repair. Printer didn't stop untill the heater core error appeared for core 2, this was caused by a snapped wire due to excessive amounts of ABS buildup.
Normally all goes well,. If anyone has any idea how I could prevent this from happening next time, please let me know.
