Posted · How to print a closed tube offset with full PVA support

I got my UM3 Extended just some weeks ago and I`m still struggling with radii and this big tube.

I have tried to print this part with PVA support but the surface between the first layers of the PLA print look really ugly because

of the mixture of these two materials and the radii around (picture).

 

Is it possible to print the first layers with pure PVA support and then print the PLA? If I turn the part 180°, I have a big loss of the PVA.

What about a Z off-set? Does it work? How to insert it? I have already installed the plugin but I could not find the correct window....

 

Is there a general solution? If you print a ball there must be the same issue.

 

Thank you in advance for any weekend saving advice ?

 

Best regards,

Thorsten

      • 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.
