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.-

This is going to be the least constructive reply ever, but each time I see this topic I think "I don't need to know about your leaky bottom".

And yes you can try another surface pattern, but it should still be seamlessly closed with any surface pattern. For example, I like concentric surfaces, but these are not properly closed in Cura v3.3.

This is literally my method of troubleshooting: 1. Do as @mnis said: Make a test object and test it on all three machines to make sure results are consistent. This is most imperative as it may po

Hey there, I know this is old but I had the same issue and this was the only thread I found on this issue in particular.
I have the flow calibrated so I didn't want to just increase it in the slicer to mask the issue.
After giving up on finding a solution online I started studying the layer printing path and I had a Eureka moment, it was an excessive retracting distance producing under extrusion, since the test I used to calibrate doesn't really show slight under extrusion problems I started looking for one that does
Did a test print using this site http://www.retractioncalibration.com/ and found I am getting slight under extrusion when using over 5mm retraction distance (I was using standard 6.5mm). After changing it in Cura to anywhere from 4.5mm to 5mm (Bowden setup) everything was printing perfect!
This makes sense since you got a bit of a better result after playing with combing settings. Worth a try.
Note that after changing filament or the tension of the extruder's clamping spring, you might have to redo the retraction calibration, since the effective diameter of the extruder gear would change (Teeth dig more in some material).
Also don't forget to do an E-Step calibration for the extruder motor.
