[Solved] spiderweb-like strings nylon with no movement between parts

· [Solved] spiderweb-like strings nylon with no movement between parts
This was one of two issues (or a combination of both).
My nylon may have gotten a little damp. I store it in a drybox, but haven’t yet built one I can print from. RElative humidity in the house sits around 50%. So I dried the filament overnight sitting on the build plate at 90c with a towel over it. I used the towel to pick up the roll and put it directly to the drybox to cool.
i also realized that we had some warm days that caused the AC to kick on. There is a vent in the ceiling right above my printer. I recalled reading how drafts can be a problem with nylon.
So I made a front cover and put a box over the top. The print came out beautifully! No hairs and very consistent finish.

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.
