You have probably the problem with the extrusion, like feeder, Bowden tube, clogged nozzle, PTFE coupler or something like this and you try now to compensate this with a higher temperature.
You are printing too hot, so you should go back to normal temps for PLA and then we have to find your problem why nothing is extruded. Check first your nozzle if it is clogged or if the PTFE coupler looks strange.
I would not use a temp of greater than 190 with those settings. White tends to be the most problematic, if you can swap to a different filament. If it still delivers bad results then as @Smithy says maybe you have a hardware extrusion problem -probably best to do an atomic pull (plenty of posts on that in the forum)
If it is a standard UM2 (=non-plus), most likely you have one of the following:
- deformed white teflon coupler after a couple of 100 hours of use (-->disassemble, check, and replace if necessary),
- partially clogged nozzle (-->do atomic pulls, maybe carefully poke hole with soft needle without sharp edges (!!!) from below),
- feeder wheel covered in filament dust (-->verify and blow clean),
- filament is near the end of the spool, wound too tightly, causing huge unwinding-resistance, plus huge friction in bowden tube and nozzle (-->manually unwind a few meters, and manually straighten them).
Or a combination of these, typically worn out teflon coupler, plus filament near the end of the spool. So, verify and where necessary handle these things, and then set the default temperatures and speed again (50mm/s, 210°C nozzle, 60°C bed) and try again.
For doing gentle atomic pulls, you could have a look at my old manual here (and scroll down a bit):
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.
