If i print with 20% empty filling - the print is perfect. But if i print it with 100% filling -

a full solid object - the complete print is like a sponge - having the shape of my object but a structure

like a sponge.

What to do?

    Infill must be understruding. Change infill speed or adjust emperature. Also 99% uses more filament than 100% (weird but true)

    What are your speed settings? When printing 100% Infill I try to go slower. You could also try increasing the flow rate to 110% thats what I use.

    Also are you using Cura or Simplify?

    This is severe underextrusion. Probably your infill speed is too fast for your temperature and layer height settings. Notice that there is an infill speed that overrides the normal print speed. Don't use the quick mode settings as this hides all the print speeds.

    Here are top recommended speeds for .2mm layers (twice as fast for .1mm layers):

    20mm/sec at 200C

    30mm/sec at 210C

    40mm/sec at 225C

    50mm/sec at 240C

    The printer can do double these speeds but with huge difficulty and usually with a loss in part quality due to underextrusion.

    Thank you. Reducing the speed helped a lot!

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
