Hi everybody,

 

so I've been printing with my UM3E for a bit over a year now and so far I am actually quite pleased with the quality of the models coming out the printer. But since I got my printer I am having issues getting the quality of my visible walls to an acceptable level when printing circular/round objects because it seems as the printer over extrudes und produces blobs on the outer walls. I have attached some pictures of my most recent prints with the second picture being the worst of them all, looking at the inner side of the object.

I've tried toggling different settings on or off or changing the values, but all that had barely to no impact. (retraction distance and speed/optimize wall printing order/Z-seam alignment etc...)

I will also include some screenshots of my settings and a project file, hope that helps u guys 🙂

Thanks for the help in advance.

    Hi,

    A few suggestions:

    1) Your printer may be suffering from z-wobble due to yours printers configuration

    2)Have you correctly calibrated you E steps?

    3)Obviuosly you are using Cura. One thing that may work is the ARC WELDER plugin.

     

    Hope this helps :)

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        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.
