New printing problem.

Hi guys.

I have never had these problems.

I think it is as if the extruder is stopped in an instant more or rests on the printed side before moving and let these ugly marks on the print.

attaching photos to better understand my problem.

    Are you printing with fans on? It looks like that part of the print has a very small surface area so the heat isn't dissipating very quickly so the material is oozing a very small amount. Try either turning on the fans or increasing the speed to help reduce the heat.

    I also have this on small parts, for example on fine text of a few mm height. It indeed seems to be caused by the head stopping for a fraction of a second while retracting, and then moving on.

    I can reduce it but not eliminate it by reducing temperature and printing slower, for PLA down to 180°C or 190°C, and 20mm/s, for small parts.

    Most likely caused by the small delay while retractions are happening like geert says. You might be able to get rid of it by lowering temperature a little bit, disabling retractions and increasing travel speed.

    You will likely get some stringing doing that but it might be that those are small enough that they are easier to remove than trying to get rid of the tiny blobs.

    Thank you. I then try to increase the speed of retraction of 1 or 2 mm / s

    Thank you, the press seems to me that it was to 203 ° C with the next try to print to 195 ° C

    Hi,

    i'm not sure, but maybe this is the same problem, only in an other scale?

    The result:

    but it should be this:

    It's a small part, should be a wedge for a connection of a GT2-Belt - width is about 7mm.

    Any ideas?

    I'll also try to print one with the mentioned suggestions (Temp. reduction, without retraction, lower print speed).

    Only a little bit better with decreasing Temp. from 200 to 195, changing print speed from 60mm/s to 30mm/s, no retraction. Pfropfen_2.thumb.JPG.b9d608b6a81c7b813c0a4da70060f9c8.JPG

    try printing 2 at once and use 100% fan

    Hi Paul,

    Try printing without using the heat bed, use only glue.

    I've had som issues like this when printing small object at lo height and using heat bed.

    Use extruder temp 192 -195 deg. C.

    Thanks.

    Torgeir.

    Hi owen,

    much better with more parts. Still not perfect, but in a way that at least it seems to be easy to remove ;-)

    Hi everybody,

    I had similar Problems with blobs especially with thicker nozzles.

    Mine came from not perfect retraction settings.

    I changed to Simplify 3D as new slicer (very nice but 150$, definitely worth it if you print a lot)

    I used mainly two options:

    coasting- stops extruding about 1...2mm before end of line, but some filament keeps on coming out of the nozzle

    Extra restart distance about -1mm so the extruder retracts in my case 4,5mm and restarts with only 3,5mm.

    The first minimizes a blob am the end of the line, the other alt the start of the new one.

    I think there is no possibility to do this in Cura.

    I changed to Bondtech extruder and 3D Solex Block, thats I I also changed the Slicer and played with thick nozzles, high speeds and optimal settings.

    But before, with my Original UM2 extended, Cura was always doing a good job. The Standard values worked OK.

    Maybe that helps.

    Cheers,

    Ascan

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
