[UM2: why is my infill so bad and the borders are good?]

Exactly, I was experimenting while printing and found that this setting was good. I now reduced the speed in cura and returned to 100% speed in the printer menu. That works better.

Not sure I understand why you have your flow setting at 180% instead of 100% or very close. Maybe you are compensating for something else that is wrong?

I reduced from 100(!) to 60. The result was good, thanks.

Yes. I’m using cura. I’ll slow it down do 70% and see if it works better. Thanks.

Hi, I’m trying to print using pla 1.75mm with 0.4mm nozzle. The borders are good, specially see in the picture a surface which was printed ok. However, the quality of the infill is really bad. (Set to 30%). 

 

Settings: speed: 90%, T:210C, material flow: 180% 

 

which setting do I need to tweak? 

 

Thanks 

[Material behind the extruder of UM2, is this normal?]

Thanks for the replies. 

Regarding the top: yes, the black case was broken, probably during transport or to high pressure on the screws. I glued it and wrap it with a strip, and it's holding fine for now. 

 

Regarding the filling. I think this is old. It was very brittle and I could take it out cold. I don't see how this could come out other than through the nose, so I suppose someone was playing with it and it went from the nose all the way up around it and into the compartment. that's weird, but the good news is that the nose doesn't have any holes :-) 

 

Thanks again for the help. I'm ready to print again.

Hi,

im dismantling the print head because the top was a bit broken and I noticed that there is a lot of white material behind the extruder. Is this normal? If not, what is the best approach to remove it? 

 

Lease see see the pictures. Thanks.
