Can someone explain this?

Hi,

I have an Ultimaker 2+ for about a month. I tried to print some Nespresso Caspulate Dispenser I desinged myself. They have a triangle cut out, and therefore some overhangs. The strange thing is, that on the left hand side, they look really good, while on the right hand side it looks a bit clumsy.

I have also changed the nozzle (from 0.4 to 0.25) to see, if it has something to do with the wall thickness.

The curaproject (as I'm using 2.4 BETA right now is here https://hyttioaoa.de/tmp/Nespresso.curaproject.3mf).

Edit: I'm using PETG as material. And I already set down the travel speed to the same amount as printing speed, to reduce vibrations.

Did I mess it up with some settings, or is the model somehow strange?

Thanks a lot for any hint in which direction I have to think.

    one thing you can try is to rotate the object 90 degrees. What you are seeing has to do with the fans and cooling and because the nozzle is closer the left fan, cooling the object is uneven. Look what area needs the most cooling and place that towards the left fan.

    One side good vs. the other one clumsy is almost always due to print cooling... Since your machine already has two fans, you need to first check if they bot run and about equally good... if not, replace the fan.

    Meanwhile, you can orient the difficult parts of your model towards the side where cooling works best.

      • 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.
