Simplify3d adhesion problem, no problem in Cura

Hey fellow 3d-print enthusiasts,

I've a question about Simplify3d. I've printed a model successfully using Cura and now I want to print it again using simplifys custom supports. Turns out the model I printed from Simplify gcode does not stick well to the buildplate and I have to stop it after a few layers because it's partially coming off. I didn't experienced this with cura. What can be causing this? The machine setup is exactly the same. I'm using a Ultimaker3 btw.

Thanks in advance

    Well depends on the profile. First layer speed, height, etc. You might want to post more data than 'printed with cura/s3d'. Post the profiles and let's check the differences

    yeah sure. I just noticed the nozzle is tearing the print from the buildplate. tha's because the buildplate does not move down a bit while the printhead is moving across. what would the value be to tackle this?

    Sorry but really there's nothing I can do without seeing the profiles. Cura and s3d allow to export them.

    Its not a requirement to lower the printbed while printhead to rapid moves.

    If I remember correctly, Simplify3D sets 1st layerheight based off the general layerheight, so if you check Simplify3D what % first layer is set on, you should get the idea if nozzle is too close to the bed.

    If you are printing with layerheight of 0.2 and firstlayer % is 50%, then firstlayer is printed with layerheight of 0.1, and if bed is not 100% level then nozzle might come too close.

    Cura usally have first layerheight of 0.3

    understand! the trouble with that is that you can not adjust the height for the travel after laying down the first layer. eventually the printhead will tear off the print if it's footprint is rather small or made of support.

    would you recoomend a raft then? I have no good experience with rafts i've to say..

    This sounds wrong, the nozzle should not tear off the previous layer when it travels to next layer, if the first layer is printed on Z0.3, it stays on this height until its finished, then the bed is lowered to the next layer and printhead should be in air, nozzle should be at Z0.5 (if layerheight is 0.2) so if the nozzle is tearing off the print, something with the first layer is wrong, you need to check if the layer have warped or curled.

    If nothing is wrong with the first layer, you should provide your Simplify3D settings as Neotko suggested.

      • 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.
