Posted · Problem to print COVID 19 mask

Hi to all from France,

 

I've tried to print COVID-19 masks for medical people, but my first tries wera a complete mess.

 

I the tried to print smaller pieces with different settings under Cura, and the best I've got still gives me headaches on first layers :

I then tried to print this torture test : http://www.primante3d.com/test-impression-3d-21092018/

There are many defaults :

I'd love your help to understand which settings I should modify. I'm under Cura 4.5.0 on Mac with the following settings :

    Hello, which printer are you using and what type of filament? It looks like your bed is too far from your nozzle when you start printing and perhaps there are is room for some cooling optimisation based on the stringing in between the pedestals at the top.

    Thanks SandervG,

     

    I'm on Anet A8 with PLA. It seems I can't put that information in my profile...

     

    I've set autolevelling on my bed, I'm gonna adjust it to see. What do you mea by colling optimization ?

     

    Here is what it gives on my mask's tries, if it helps.

     

    Thanks.
    Dom

      • 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.
