Hey,

 

I dont know why some layers are darker than others on my printed objects.

I use white Ultimaker PLA.

 

The object itself is pretty smooth and the corners as well as you can see in the photos.

 

Maybe It is Z Wobble but I am not sure. Do you have any ideas?

    I've checked the height of the object as well and it has the height it should have. I believe it wouldn't be Z Wobble if the model has the desired height. Am I right?

    From the looks of it I would say that the darker layers are under-extruded layers.

     

    Printing slower and cooler didn't help. The printer doesn't have play on the X/Y axles as well. I'm pretty desperate right now.

    What material/color were you printing prior to this print?

    I've only printed with White PLA so far. In the beginning there was a bit of grey PLA inside of the nozzle from the factory test print.

      • 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.
