I just switched to a new PLA filament in my ultimaker 3, and my past to prints have ended up like this.

Here is a picture

I printed this in PLA with PVA supports with a prime tower.

What is causing this, and what can I do to prevent this?

    when you say a new PLA I assume you mean a different manufacturer, I have seen this problem (with the same manufacturer) just by changing colour of PLA

    I think they are called 'artefacts' they can be reduced/eliminated by lowering the print temperature by a say five degrees which should make a big difference

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
