Hi, Katie,

Is that the side of the print that was against your glass?

Did you use glue on it?

If it's the side that was against your glass and you didn't use glue, the glass made need cleaning.

If you used glue, you may want to make sure to dilute it with water enough that the layer on the glass is totally flat.

    What erin said.  It looks like a bit of glue.  I use a paint brush, add water, and spread the glue around very thin.  Then heat up the bed and it should dry within 5 minutes almost invisible.

    Thanks for your replies guys & girls ;)

    I dont use glue and I dont have a glass bed, but yes, it is the side thats facing the bed.

    There are no obvious holes or gauges in my bed surface so im not sure what is going on.

    A little bit of the first layer probably got detached and caused that defect. Sometimes it can detach slightly, curl up a little bit because it gets hit by the head and then it gets smooshed down again as the next few layers are laid down.

      • 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.
