Posted · Bad quality Small Pieces with Ultimaker Nylon

Now I am an owner of an Ultimaker 3Ext for 3 month. The prints I made are very nice and will be better and better by profile optimizing. But now I have no idea:

 

I want to print a small piece with Ultimaker Nylon black on my UM3ext. Big pieces were printed without any problems but small ones not. I am using Cura version 2.4.0.

I got some tips by a IGo3d technician but the printed optic is not the same like PLA. In the case of PLA it looks great. Here the print settings:

Layer 0.1, Linethickness 0.4mm, Infillthickness 0.5mm, Wallthickness 1.2mm,Infill 20%, Headtemp: 245°C, flow 100%, Retract activated, Retract 8mm, Printspeed 30 mm/sec, Cooling 40%.

The outer diameter is 12mm, the inner diameter is 10mm. The piece is a snap in bracket.

Did you have any Ideas to optimize the print settings for a smooth surface without wrinkles spider ropes.

    In this smaller model, the printing speeds are generally lower than in a bigger model. I suggest going down in temperature (5-10C) in your next try, that could make a big difference in a model like this.

    I also see that you scaled down the print speed, which makes it print the outer walls really slowly. I'm scared that the outer walls get printed at ~10mm/s (this scales with the print speed), which will lead to even more degradation of material. If you really want to print it at those speeds, I suggest going down another 10C in temperature.

      • 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.
