This is what I get with my S5 too; even after many maintenance... I don't know what too think about the quality of the printer since I get better prints from chineese ones...

Ce n'est peut-être pas ça, mais je ferais un essai en utilisant 100% de refroidissement dès la première couche.

What happen if you rotate the part 45° on build plate ?

Humm. It looks like the line width for the top surface was set too large. Can you try with lower value??? Or maybe increasing the flow... Out of curiosity, how would you send the green part for binding? I would like to to some test and I'm looking for a supplier that can do the binding for us... Thanks!

Hello Harv, What clearance did you use between male and female threads ?

On our S5 I add a "hook" to secure the print core facing cover to avoid it to open during printing (since the magnet are weak)

I've sometime run into same issue. I don't have the solution but what if you change the line width and enable ironing?

I forgot to mention. You need to purge the print core at the end of each print to avoid carbon buildups. Purge material is the preferred choice otherwise use regular PLA or any material that don't required exceeding 200-205°C.

Hello Ultimaker community, Recently I tried printing with PVC filament from Filamentum (that is the only supplier I've found) and since I haven't found a lot of information on that matter I decide to share with you my first results. I print on glass with a thin layer of 3Dlac. PVC sticked perfetly on the print bed and I had to use a spatula to remove it. Brint bed was set at 80°C Printing temperature was ser at 215°C I've noticed some warpage on supported area and layer adhesion is poor. I'll probably have to change some settings to improve this. I've tried PVA support but as seen in the pictures there is no adhesion with PVC. Also, i was concern by the PVC degrading while printing but during the print the smell was barely noticeable and when I cleaned the print core after my last print it was nice and clean (no carbon buildups, no clogged). Here are some pictures.

Hummm... I would check if the printer's axis are square. If they aren't then that would explain why the belt does not remain in the center of the pulley.

Hello Ultimaker community, I just recently realized that our S5 printer is not square on the X axis. Three weeks ago I spent time to readjust everything. Yesterday I did a quick look and found out that squaring was off again... Do you have any tricks to get a printer square ???

Reducing the Z distance to 0,3 or even 0,2mm might help improving the surface finish.

Apparently you cannot set the Z distance larger than the nozzle diameter. When using a 0,4mm nozzle, 0,4mm is the maximum Z distance but with a 0,8mm nozzle then 0,8mm is the maximum.

Bonjour, essaie en activant l'impression des parois minces.

Si j'ai bien compris, tu cherches à réduire la taille (en X, Y) d'un support? C'est en anglais mais regarde pour un paramètre qui ressemble à ceci. Un chiffre plus petit réduit la taille du support.

Have a look at CNC kitchen on Youtube. you can find tons of videos where different material, infill pattern and others have been tested.

MKAJ, If you grab the rod with one hand can you feel the play? I've noticed some gap on our S5 same as in your picture but it feels snug...

I though that CPE+ is same as PETG. ???

I don't think itis related to the NFC material detection feature that cause your problem; I did ran into the same issue before (with PLA) and it was the flow sensor that was causing the issue. For some prints I had to turn it off.

I'm far from being sure about this but I think most metalic filament uses 5%-10% of wax to bind the metalic particules.

Tarkhahn, First thing I've noticed on your picture is the skirt. It's should be better looking... it's OK on the bottom left corner but not so good on the opposite corner. Since your part is not that large I don't think it is related to bed leveling but you can have a chek anyway. Maybe your nozzle is just too far away from the build plate on the first layer.It is important that you squish that layer. You can also increase flow volume on the fisrt layer. Mine is at 120% I can confirm that your part is perfectly flat and touching the build plate in Cura; there is no overhang. If that would be the case the skirt would not have been around the part like we see on your picture but it would be underneath. See screenshot below.

It's the same behavior in 3.6. The bottom flat surfaces are shown in red. If you look at the first layer, does Cura print support or bottom layer???

I've seen a lot of ender 3 with a warped bed. Try to print your model away from the center and look how the first layer looks like. Good luck!

I also get this from time to time; so far only with 0,8mm AA nozzle on S5 printer. Usually the pattern is 1 to 1.5 inch long and I'm pretty sure the pattern start at the begining of the printed layer (probably after travel). I can't recall but I think the retraction was off the last time I tried it but it did not fix it. I'll probably do some testing later on but so far I haven't found a solution.

+1 for Smithy comment. I would suggest you perform a X & Y axis calibration. Also I had this kind of result from a partially clogged nozzle.
