OK my UMS5 is doing the same thing again I think it Under-Extrusion.  So I have installed a new print core, new filament, cleaned the feeder housing, and adjust the tension on the filament.  Filament (Tough PLA) temp 210-215,  printed speed 40-50  I have almost tried everything nothing is working,  any other ideas.  Oh yeah and the system is only 8 months old

    Hello,


    if you have a project file and a picture of the print result, people can help you.

    Depending on what kind of projects you print, for example, a too long retract setting can also give the impression of underextrusion.


    Many greetings

    Hello


    yes pidy. Under extrusion in all (inner- outer wall and infill).


    Have you tried to print on the second feeder. So you could narrow down the problem for now.


    Many greetings

    I skimmed through your previous posts and didn't notice mention of how you're keeping the filament dry during prints, so I figured I'd ask.   Do you have a dry container that sends material to the feeder, or is the spool out in the open?   I overlooked this subject for quite a while early in my 3DP career because of low humidity in my area.  Then we had high humidity weather come through for a month and I didn't connect the dots to realize it was a cause for some poor prints.    Taking pains to keep filament dry helped out a lot once I got onboard with the idea.   Best of luck in resolving your issue!

    What layer height are you printing at?

    The bigger the layer height the higher a print temp is needed or slower print speed, so that the filamant as time to melt in the hot zone.

     

    Have you tired to print a temp tower? because sometimes you have to print at a higher temp and don't always take cura temps as a given.

    The print indeed looks horrible. 

    What filament are you using? 

    What printing profile do you use in Cura? (Always start printing with the default profiles)

      • 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.
