Hello,
I operate an Ultimaker 3 at my Workplace. We bought a 3D Solex Printcore about a year ago as a replacement and the prints were good.
After we updated to Cura 5.0 we encountered problems of underextrusion and worst of all the Feedwheel grinding itself into the PLA Material.
I tried everithing i could think of.
I cleaned the feeder - didn't help
I replaced the nozzle - didn't help
I replaced the Printcore - didn't help
I updated to 5.1 - didn't help
I downgraded to 4.13.1 - didn't help
I am pretty shure , that the Printcore or the nozzle is the problem.
I made a testprint with an Ultimaker Printcore and the print went fine, with no problems.
I also noticed that when loading the Ultimaker core, that the ammount of plastic pushed through the nozzle is higher, compared to the Solex core and when i pust by hand the ultimaker nozzle is easyer to push through then the Solex.
My suspicion is that the 3 internal holes in the nozzle are obstructing the flow to a point, where printing is possible for small or short prints. But to be honest i am shooting into the dark here.
Does anyone have an explanation or solution to the problem, e.g. lowering the printspeed to a point where the low throughput is compensated for.
Kind Regards
Musel
Pressure setting of the Feeder
Grinding on the Material during printing with no support and as little retraction as possible.
Grinding on the Material, when Material is loadet into the Printhead and getting pushed through the nozzle.
