UM 2+ Stringing

Hi there everyone. What are some troubleshooting and settings you guys are using to reducing stringing? I've read a few things on it but didn't know if there was a definitive fix. Is this a common problem with the Ultimaker 2+? I've only noticed it when printing multiple parts with PLA with the .4 nozzle. I've lowered the tip temp down to 200 but that doesn't seem to be working that great. Other suggestions?

    Hi Sander. I've used the default travel speed of 120 and print speed of 50. I have retraction checked but I've never seen any customized settings for this. The stringing was actually worse but i grabbed a wad of it and threw it away before taking these photos.

    If you use an UM2+ with Cura, the retraction settings are configured on the printer.

     

    I would check the retraction speed and length. In newer firmware versions you find it here:

    MATERIAL -> SETTINGS -> Customize -> Retraction

     

    For 0.4 mm nozzle and PLA the defaults are 6.5 mm retraction length and 25 mm/s speed.

      • 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.
