Hi,

Posting your settings is a big help in being able to help.

It could be you are printing to hot, or retraction could need editing, Does it have any impact on the final print at all?

 

Retraction is set for 6.5mm for the support material, printing temp is 225C.     I was already considering increasing the retraction but 6.5 already seems like a lot.
The parts I print are for practical uses and not for show so not harm to the final print, just cosmetic.   Sometime is seems like the strings get in the way and tangle up in the core, leave little bits laying around the print area...  just be nice to clean it up a bit.
I have no clue how to post the settings.  I always avoided Cura like a plague in the past but here I am with a UM and having to walk with the devil  🙂

    Cura as a number of settings when you view "all" settings, one of them is called "Retraction extra Prime amount" and that setting is for helpping deal with what you are seeing and thats filament ooze when doing travel movments.

     

    Have not personally used it as any ooze i get does not have any impact on my final print, so i can not really give any base starting setting for that setting.

    ya, both are set for zero..  maybe I'll make a little test piece and play with that

    Is retract settings really in play here or is it in combing mode? Check "Travel->Combing mode"

    there's no evidence of combing

    This is one case where i really miss using Simplify3D to slice..  you could print multiple copies each with different settings.  I used to use that feature to "bracket" a particular setting to home-in on the ideal value

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
