Posted · Printing small Circles on Ender 3 Fails
Hey!
So I just fixed my Layer shifting Problem and yet got the next problem. Printing little Circles. I am trying to print this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3371273
I am starting with the bottom part and my Ender 3 cant really get to print the little circles. Instead it looks like the attached picture.
 
Initial Layer Print Speed is: 20mm/s
Initial Layer Travel Speed is: 100mm/s
Number of Slower Layers is: 2
 
Also tried to fix it with the new Small Feature Option on Cura, but that doesnt seem to do anything.
Small Hole Max Size is: 0.2mm
Small Feature Max Length: 0.6283 (Automatically)
Small Feature Speed 50%
 
Any help would be appreciated since all Discord Server seems like they are dead.

    I don't know what printer that is, but to me it looks like or bed adhesion is not good enough, or the nozzle is too far away from the bed. Then for small circles it tends to pull the printed string off sideways.

     

    Just watch closely what happens when printing.

    Its an Ender 3 as stated in the Topic! I tried to print with 60°C now instead of 55°C. I also changed the Z-Offset from -1.97 to -2.00 to -2.03 and that did it. Printing the fine and small parts perfectly fine now.

    But now I got a new Problem. Gonna try to post it in here as well.

     

    In the picture you can see the layer shift that appeared after the loud noise.

     

     

    Here in the video you can hear some weird sound throughout the video when the X axis is moving but I have no clue what it is. Then at the End of the video(19.76s) before the layer shift you can hear a loud noise and then it snaps fast to the right. I guess thats the reason for the layershift. But I dont know the reason for it.

        (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.
