Posted (edited) · UM2: First layer of bridging is very weak

Hi!

I am trying to print a drag chain (I have attached the STL) and it has this 22mm bridge which I get a lot of trouble with.

 

As you can see on these pictures the first one or two layer when the bridging starts are really weak. They are so weak that they easily pops of with some minor pressure on them.

 

Printer: Ultimaker 2 (35W heat cartridge, custom fan shroud)

Material: BASF Ultrafuse PET
Temperature: 220 C

Print speed: 60mm/s

Experimental bridging enabled

Cura 4.12.1

 

I have tried different print speeds, different temperatures but I can not solve this. It seems like the experimental bridge settings are screwing this up for my printer, because I don't get the same effect when NOT using the bridge settings. I think I need the experimental bridge settings because the gap is much harder for my printer to print nicely if I don't use it.

 

I hope someone can understand my problem. I think the images explains it better then my text 😄

 

/ Oskar

    I have done some more testing and I have concluded that turning off "Bridge has multiple layers" doesn't help.

     

    The problem seems to be in this part:

    It feels like it is the first "WALL-OUTER" in this layer that is printed poorly due to maybe decreased flow rate?! But it doesn't seem to be decreased. I use F1800 for all other "normal" outer walls also.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
