It look like a problem with the z axis to me

maybe you need to clean and lubricated both the Z thread and the vertical shafts

One other thought, depending on your feeder (I have a BondTech feeder) sometimes the internal feeder gears benefit from cleaning

    I have feeder bondtech, and I I cleaned and lubricated the z axis.

    Could be a backlash issue. Check the short belts on the stepper motors. Make sure they're fairly tight.

    An easy test for this is to print 2-3 concentric rings and see if they are truly round or not. See the image to the left here:

    Hi

    Thanks, today I have been upgrading to the belts attached to the stepping motors.

    PRINTING PROBLEM

    Today I have performed all the controls on the steppers of the stepper motors and also on the axle screws I tightened all the screws well and adjusted the straps as proposed on the following guide: http://support.3dverkstan.se/. ..ooting-guide # circles

    Setting Print with CURA 2.6.1 I have the following problem printing object is unacceptable, the object is cropped, cropped.

    Check just in case that the x/y are square

    HI Neotko, How do I use it? Do I have to use more than one contemporaneous?

    Hi Robert,

    What is the (backlash issue)?

    Are my belts lining material on toothed wheels on which they are turning almost 3 years old, maybe should they be replaced?

    But I'm not a UM2 user. Seems that in theory your aystem should be aligned by double checking the black spacers on your printer:

    http://support.3dverkstan.se/article/23-a-visual-ultimaker-troubleshooting-guide#misaligned-axes

    This guide also recommends a printed alignment tool to check and align. The video is for umo+ but is practically the very same on um2.

    Can someone send me the link where I can find all the information about the components used for Ultimaker 2?

    Thanks

    Yesterday I made prints after strapping the straps and after checking the straps of the stepper motors.

    The hollow print came pretty well when I went to print that I'm interested in filling high, I again had the big problems of geometric correctness.

    Today I did the print test with the circles suggested by Robert.

    It seems to me that they are correct.

    My problem is this, but I've already done this.

      • 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.
