    Your STL file is defective.  Did you create it yourself?  If so, what CAD software did you use?  I have tons of advice but I need to know what software you used.

     

    Here's a tiny piece of advice, look at it in xray mode - first make sure you are in "preview" mode (at the top center) and then on the upper left switch from "layer view" to "xray view".  If you see any red colors then that is the problem.  Shades of blue and white are good.

    Hi, yes, some parts are red. I use Skretchup Pro 2018 when I did the model and exported it to stl in that program. I have done it before and it have worked.

    sketchup is not great at making 3d models but you can do it if you follow these tips.  Actually #9 is the most common problem and takes second to fix but you could have issues 4 through 9 as well.   Unlike sketchup, most cad programs don't let you do ANY of these errors (#4 through #9):

    Follow the above link and read all that.  It looks like a lot but it's actually pretty simple and straightforward.

     

    Also in the future - for next time - I'm told that when using sketchup always use these 2 plugins:
    cleanup3 (may be 4 now)
    Solid inspector.

    Both of these plugins remove any problems with the model unseen by the eye and turn it into a solid model.

      • 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.
