S3 not printing as expected

Posted · S3 not printing as expected

I am new to the ultimaker family as I’ve been using a MakerBot In the past but I wanted to add a ultimaker to my fleet but so far after 5 failed prints im wondering if I made a mistake.  I printed 2 infinity cubes and when I take them off the build platform and move them to get them lose they break which never happened to my MakerBot. I printed 2 more items and one just broke during the print the ultimaker couldn’t do it and the last one the quality is just horrible. Could I be doing something wrong.  
 

let me know as for paying the price I did I was expecting way more from this machine and it’s only been 24 hours. 
 

thanks in advance

    Hi @evogas,

     

    Welcome in here.

    At first glance, -it looks like the preparation of the glass plate (heat bed) is not "cleaned"/prepared properly.

    Parts of the bed may have some issues that's reduced the fixture to the bed.. The bed cleaning is "super" important!

    But, -It's really difficult to say anything more about your problem, as no other info is given -but the picture.

     

    You should save this "object" as a project file, this will produce a file "-------.3mf" that's show your printer -plus setting (in Cura), filament type and the object you're printing.

     

    Sure post it here..

     

    I'm sure someone will have a look at it.

     

    Thanks

      • 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.
