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

    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)

      • 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.
