Posted · Issues printing with supports - what should I do?

I have bought my UM3 used and had major issues with print-head wobble. The rods + bushings were replaced with OEM parts and now that seems to be much better.

Having that said, I am stilling having issues printing a part that has support on the underside. Please see the two attached photos. The silver filament is original UM printed on my UM3 and the orange part was printed on an inexpensive Chinese machine. It is easy to see in the 2nd picture that the filament is loose on the supports and does not order neatly.

 

Automatic self-leveling completes normally and I could not see anything else wrong mechanically. Any suggestions what is going on here?

    Hello, do you use a default printing profile or have you made modifications? There is a feature in Cura called Z support distance top/bottom which may be impacting you. Have you also ran all the calibrations on the machine? 

    Does it have original print cores?

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
