Bottom layer printing order and other suggestions needed

Posted · Bottom layer printing order and other suggestions needed

Hi,

I have original 1st Gen Ultimaker with heated bed. It is used mostly for ptototyping before ordering parts from milling machine. Appearance of the parts is not important.

My problem is that quite often print fails on bottom layer. When machine prints the edges first are inner edges are teared off the table. If this first edge printing is success and infill begins, prints never fail.

We are a group of three guys who uses this printer and one of us has spent years for searching very optimal settings but still this problem is too common.

I have looked beside the machine so much tearing prints off that I'm very confident there is a solution and I'm just not sure it such setting exists: First print infill and then continue edges for bottom layer. I'd like to try it if it exist, does it? I know there are several other settings for this and I'd like to hear them as well. Perhaps there is some we haven't tried. Increasing retract from 0.0.75 to 0.1 seems to help a little but still edges are sometimes pulled out of the table when head retracts and changes the position.

I have tried new Cura versions and came back to 15.01 for PC compatibility reasons. It's few months I last time tried to update and can do it if it helps.

        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.
