Detachment from the plate


Recommended Posts

Posted · Detachment from the plate

This is called "warp" or "warping", there's a lot of information about it on the forum.

A few quick tips to get you started:

- Make sure the glass is clean

- What temperature do you have the bed set to? I like to keep it around 60C but it can change depending on filament, some stick better than others.

- Yes, glue can help. Put it on lightly and then spread it around with a damp cloth to get rid of any lumps. The water will evaporate during heat up and leave a thin coat of glue on the bed.

- Less infill can help.

- Turning the fans on later or not at all can help

- Make sure the bed is nice and level so that the first layer sticks well.

    thank you.

    Happen sometimes like that or for the support column that cura creates. But that seems more a mechanical issue: the print head to print the next level of the support slightly touch it and not the first, not the second, not the third but the maybe after a while it detach the column... and clearly it damage the print.

    By the way i'm finding the support created from cura really hard to remove without damaging the print.

    80C is too hot for PLA. I recommend 70C. Did you use the glue stick?

    Even stronger than gluestick is wood glue mixed with water (3 parts water, 1 part wood glue) then spread on glass and allowed to dry completly (takes maybe same amount to dry as to get the heated bed up to 70C).

    Often I fail a print because the print head it's the part hard and knocks it off. But usually I glue it down so strong that you can hit the part with a hammer and it won't come off.

    Then the hard part is getting the part off the glass when it is done. The secret is to wait until it is COMPLETELY cooled down and use a sharp knife or a sharpened putty knife.

    Ok i'm making a print right now and i noticed that the plate is not so hot...

    in the buildplate temp tune says 102C/70C and the left is going down to reach the right temperature...

    but if i touch the plate with my hand..it's almost cold..

    i think that i would feel something like 70°C!

    Maybe the problem i describe here:

    http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/4227-is-leaving-the-ultimaker2-alone-safe/&do=findComment&comment=35061

    is the problem...

    maybe the temp sensor of the buildplate is gone!

    Yes, if the plate isn't heating up that would certainly cause issues with your print. IIRC there have been a few cases where the connector on the heated bed has bad solder joints. It might be worth removing the bed and having a look at that. Also check that the wires that goes into the bed are firmly in place. On my bed one or two of the wires are quite loose and I could pull them out easily if I wanted to (I really should fix that...).

    well but that should have compromise the heating since the begin...

    Instead i think that this is happening after the firmware upgrade...

    Every time your plate moves up and down it can move the wires a little. This has nothing to do with firmware. Just take the plate apart.

    I posted limited instructions with 2 pictures over in that other thread you refer to.

    Using brim will help quite a bit with this lifting corner. When the part comes to a sharp corner all the force is directed at a tiny area of the corner. If you can either change the part to have a rounded corner, or add brim it spreads the force to the entire curvature and holds down better.

    Once the tiniest bit of corner is lifted, air gets under and the problem spreads.

    Another choice is to use RAFT but brim is better because raft causes the bottom layer to be very ugly. But if you don't care about the look of the bottom, then raft can work better than brim.

    If your plate is not 70C then you need to fix the print bed. I mentioned possible causes over in another thread of yours.

      • 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.
