Trouble with infill pattern


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited) · Trouble with infill pattern

Hello everyone,

 

I hope that all is well. Recently I have been facing infill problems with my 3D prints on the Ultimaker 2+. I'm not sure why the printer is unable to finish the infill patterns. If you look at the pictures attached to this, you'll see that some of the grind lines are not complete. From the right to left, I have changed the speeds for each print to improve the quality but the infill problem keeps showing up, I'm unable to figure out why. Any help/suggestions will be appreciated.

    Which PLA are you using, because 230° C for PLA seems quite high.

    Your print looks overall not really good, so I guess you have probably a problem with your Extrusion (Feeder, Bowden Tube, Teflon coupler, clogged nozzle) and/or your material brand is not the best (printing with cheap PLA can be terrible).

        (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.
