Hi, for pla I would just start with the basic settings you can get from cura, it's a good starting point. To tune them that really depends on what you want to print.
Brass, glow filaments are 'abrasive' so your nozzle will get eroded over time.
Wood filament might require a bigger nozzle than 0.4 so to avoid clogs start with the 0.6 nozzle.
Settings for that filaments highly depends on a lot of factors, specifically the speed and layer height you want to use.
As a general rule you should get the filament makers suggested temperature and try a small print at a safe 40-50mm/s print speed. Then you start to tune temperature/speed until you get the quality (or print time) that you need.
It's really impossible to suggest setting without knowing the speed, kind of objects or many other details so I would just print something, and if you don't like the results post good photos ofthe problem and we will try to give you a hand as well as we can.
Hi. Thank you for the reply it really helped. I tried printing with wood and this was the result that came out. I printed with 50mm/s. Any suggestions?
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.
