Ultimaker 2+ Connect print quality

Posted · Ultimaker 2+ Connect print quality

I just received my Ultimaker 2+ Connect (without air manager), my first ever 3D printer. I have followed all the instructions from the manual to get the machine up and running. However, I can't seem to get first layer success. I need a pointer to improve overall print quality. I have attached my log file below. I used Ultimaker PLA silver that comes with the printer, Cura slicer and pre-set setting

Nozzle: 0.4mm
Infill: 30%
Resolution: 0.2mm (Draft quality)
Adhesion: No

Support: No

    The first layer is not always nice, this could be normal and is covered with the next layers.

    But don't print with the Draft profile when you want wo have nice results, use the normal profile which prints slower.

     

    From the picture it could be, that your distance nozzle/bed is a bit too big. Try to level a little bit closer to the bed. But maybe it is just the picture.

     

    And additionally I would recommend a very thin layer of glue stick on your glass.

        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.
