Distortion when using tough black PLA


Recommended Posts

Posted · Distortion when using tough black PLA

Hi, I am currently using Ultimaker S5 to print thin wall boxes using tough black PLA. 
I used the default setting in Cura, but I have always observed some distortion at the initial layers while the distortion disappears later. 
I attached the picture of my 3D-printed object below.

I also attached the .3mf file that I used to print the object. (Maybe a support option is not included) 

Can you help me solve this problem?

    Found the problem!!!  It's the bed temp.  Okay so this is a bug...

     

    So you have the second core set to use ABS.  Even though it looks to me like you didn't assign the second printcore to any part.  And so there is a bug where instead of doing the normal buildplate temp of 60C it is choosing 85C.  Which is too hot for PLA (any kind of PLA - that is too hot).  So go back to the prepare tab, and disable the second printcore and reslice and you should be good.

     

    Although, damn, almost 2 days to print that!  I don't have that kind of patience.  I would do an AA 0.8 printcore and set layer height to maybe .3mm.  .1mm is okay for small prints but this is pretty big.  some people hate layer lines but I prefer them.  Let's people know it was 3d printed.  those two changes alone gets it down to 12 hours.  I'd keep working on lowering that.

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
