3d prints are coming out horribly

Posted · 3d prints are coming out horribly

 have decided to use my 3d printer again after a while (ender 3 v2) and i bought some new pla filament, when starting new build it failed.

 the supports were very flaky they looked like it was just extruding mid air, even though i repeatedly made sure the build plate height was good,

the supports didnt support anything so nothing was built.

 

when i tried another build that didnt require supports my 3d printer would stop printing half way through (i dont know exactly what happened between the time it stopped printing as i wasnt there)

 

this isnt a one time issue i have tried for a week my printer is on 24/7 trying again and again but still the same problem. stopping mid print and if supports are needed then it cant even start.

 

sometimes the pla print is smooth sometimes it isnt. 

 

i print at 210'c and have tried 195'c but still nothing changes, i have 55'c-65'c build plate temp. i use cura btw. i am certain there isn't a clog in my print because it works fine when i start another print but again half way through it decides to stop printing again. i have messed around with extrusion and it still hasn't changed anything 

 

the picture of the flakes it literally the supports it sounds ridiculous but that is literally the supports IMG_20211009_134436.thumb.jpg.b8c00d20aafe46f570c217f5c1079d11.jpg

also as you can see in those 2 unfinished pieces of plastic when it starts to stop printing it starts becoming gritty around the edges you can see spikes coming out IMG_20211009_134447.thumb.jpg.41ff324e92896a7ab434354e0d4e0ef5.jpg

 

with all of these issues i have not managed to make a full print in this whole week with my printer on every night. every time i wake up and it has stopped half way through with many flakes everywhere

 

 

when i start printing it prints on the build plate then gradually goes up and makes thing worse IMG_20211009_135952.thumb.jpg.4e968e45588d0fe72541843c591ec827.jpg

 

 

 

in this picture i stopped the build just before it started moving up so this is basically the first layer of supports IMG_20211009_140023.thumb.jpg.f5656f47ab853ce5c101c87cef59fcc0.jpg

 

 

 

non of this explains why my prints stop mid way through.

    also i forgot to add that it has stopped extruding all of a sudden when on the supports, the extruder just reverses. i dont know if this is because its printing mid air.

      • 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!

      • 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.
