  1. Hi, I am heavily interested in printing carbon fiber reinforced polymers on my Ultimaker S5. Currently I am using PAHT CF15, although prints can come out well at times I run into many issues such as the filament getting stuck in the print head. From what I understand PAHT CH15 is not compatible with Ultimaker Printers after some research, however does Ultimaker have an alternative compatible Carbon fiber reinforced polymer? Also when looking deeper into the topic, it is suggested to use Hotend X nozzles (only Epsilon printer compatible) for PAHT CF15, does Ultimaker have a similar nozzle that is more tuned for these materials? Thank you, Jeromy
  2. Tomnagel, I have used dual extrusion on this part however it was was the same material from both nozzles. The support was printed in white PLA. I am playing around with supports shapes (grid instead of zig zag) as I have started to find that this helps create a more consistent surface. I am ok with seeing build failures, it only helps to facilitate learning, along with the this forum of course. Thanks.
  3. Hi GregValiant, Thanks you for the information, this is very helpful. I have a Ultimaker S5 so it is dual extrusion. I am not exactly sure what you mean by a non-compatible support material. Are you suggesting to use a dissolvable support material that allows me to set the air gap to 0mm? Or two materials that allow for 0mm gap but don't bond well? Thank you.
  4. Hi, I am new to plastic printing and have been running into one problem consistently. This is the that the printed surface directly above the supports often comes out loose and rough. Please see the attached image. I am assuming that I need to play around with the parameter settings in order to improve this surface. I don't ever expect it to be as good as the top or horizontal surfaces but I hope to get it to a point that it is not loose in some areas. Does anyone have common settings they use to improve upon the quality of surfaces printing above supports? Thank you.
  5. Thanks Dadkitess, As soon as I looked at the printer from the top it is clear that the y-axis is off by a good couple mms. It is unfortune that it came with this issue, but I think it all stemmed from a loose belt. I fastened it thinking this would fix the problem but I didn't realize that the whole axis was offset as well. I think I have the necessary tools to deal with this issue, so thanks again for the quick reply.
  6. My newly purchased Ultimaker S5 prints will a slight skewed effect on parts. I have tried to run a XY calibration but this has not fixed the issue. This effect can be see in the attached images, a square paper is used below the build plate for reference. Does anyone know how to fix this or the potential cause?
