Hi,

 

I am trying to print a piece with PP (Polypropylene) with my printer Ultimaker S5, but the results are terrible.

The warping is considerable and sometimes the pieces cannot keep sticked to the bed for a long time,

even I am using a special glue for that (Magigoo).

These are the parameters which I am using:

Could you please tell me if I am doing something wrong? In the data sheet of the material, it appears this:

    When I was printing with PP, I put packaging tape (PP based) on the entire print surface. The printed object fuse with the tape and give a good bonding.

    When I print with PP, I set Adhesion on (Brim) and use a glue (Magigoo for PP) much. These can give a good bonding.
    Recently I make small size grooves near bottom corners .
    These grooves prevent parts from bending.

      • 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.
