Issues when printing

Hi, I Just built my first 3d printer. I Made a design in tinkerkad and I imported the file to ultimaker cura and started printing on my ender 3 v2. 

 

It prints nice, but it prints a big thin plate below my design.. What is this? How can I prevent this?

    That's called a brim.  (like a hat brim) It's very useful - especially for novices to help keep your part sticking to the print bed.  You don't need it for smaller parts but will likely need it for parts that are over 150mm in at least on direction (x or y).

     

    Bed adhesion is a complicated issue.

     

    Anyway - you can get rid of it at your own peril by changing the "build plate adhesion type" to "skirt" instead which is similar but won't touch the part.  The skirt is to get the flow moving in an equilibrium state so I recommend doing the skirt as a minimum.

      • 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.
