· Could use some advice. Wall layer not adhering.
First of all don't do 100% infill. It wastes time and filament and doesn't increase strength. Well it doesn't affect bending strength or pulling strength but it does help crushing strength (if you stand on the print - infill will help).
wall-not-adhering is always an underextrusion issue. Because you had the problem the most with 100% infill then I'm guessing your infill printing speed is higher than your wall speed and the infill speed is too high where it's underextruding.
But there are easily 20 possible causes for underextrusion. they are all "fixed" by slowing down. a lot. Try 4X or 8X slower. Just to see what happens. You should be able to adjust print speed on the fly. But even if that fixes it you may have a desire to print faster and there may be something you can do about that. I don't know.
Yes you should absolutely get a cooling fan. Quality will increase. Particularly for overhangs. You want to cool the part without cooling the nozzle if possible. If you use a fan you have to worry about back pressure - most fan shrouds block flow too much and the fan is useless. Blowers don't mind back pressure.

Thank you for your advice. Will try to slow it down. It seems some areas of the part can deal with the speed. I have to figure out how to slice certain parts faster. I have zero issues with overhangs without a fan so far. But will probably use one.

Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
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.
