Hey folks

I upgraded my feeder to a BondTech last night on my UM2.

Now Iam getting horizontal lines on prints and are very clearly visible.

Printing as same settings as before, but I did upgrade to a custom firmware.

Please help, Iam completely lost as to what could be causing the issue.

Much appreciated

    It does look like overextrusion for some reason.

    Filament diameter? Temperature?

    Most obvious because you changed the feeder is the esteps, so maybe it's worth to check how much filament is extruded when you ask to extrude 100mm for example (quite easy to check with the bowden tube unconnected and the move command.

    Cool, will try it and report back!

    2.85mm filament @ 190 degrees

    Could it be head wobble? Someone seems to think its that!

    Alright, i tried it. It extrudes exactly 100mm, 150mm and 275mm as per my test.

    Disassembled the head and "spun" the linear bearings around. Cant tell if they are in an x or + position. Lubricated with sewing machine oil.

    Put on a new roll of filament.

    Doing a test print now........

    After 2 days of continuous research and trying different things, i thing I might have found the issue....

    Its the Acceleration and X/Y Jerk.

    TinkerGnome has it as 3000mm/s and 20mm/s respectively, I halved them to 1500 and 10.

    The lines have almost disappeared, but i would like to go back to perfect prints.

    For those that know about such things, can i go any lower? Iam too afraid to try :(

    What happens when I lower these settings?

    Cheers

      • 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.
