Zits and blobs on the inside wall only


Recommended Posts

Posted · Zits and blobs on the inside wall only

Hi all,

While printing with Ultimaker ABS using the nearly default CURA 4.11 Engineering Fine settings I am getting zits and blobs on the inside wall only, the outside wall is clean (the only changes to defaults are walls and top/bottoms set to 2mm and infill to cubic subdivision 15%). The printer is enclosed and the doors were closed. The room temperature is a bit high (30 - 31 deg C, but with low humidity - about 30%. PLA prints fine. With the next print (pics attached) I've also reduced the overall print speed (from 30 to 25 mm/s) and enabled coasting in experimental section), but it didn't help.

 

Interestingly the zits and blobs become much more frequent with height (the object I printed nearly took the whole print space of S5), so maybe it is a ambient temperature / cooling problem?

 

By the way, the external surface is not perfect either, some layers are wider than others...?

        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.
