Posted · Bottom Surface Horrible, Top Surface Perfect

I'm printing having issues where the bottom surfaces of my prints are coming out stringy and very ugly. But the top of my prints are coming out perfect. I was wondering if I could get some help on this issue. I'm printing with PLA. Heated bed at 58 degrees C. Nozzle Size 0.40. Nozzle temp = 203 deg. C

    It looks to me like your print bed is to low. You should relevel it higher in order to have a nice first layer.

    The first layer must be squished on the build plate. If the first layer is almost transparent you are too close, if it looks like the filament is rounded and not flat you are to far.

    This guide explains a bit more

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
