Print Quality Changes on different colors

Posted · Print Quality Changes on different colors

I have been printing several of the same part but in different colors. All the EXACT same material (PLA) & from the same manufacturer/company.

When printing this part out of black, white, dark grey, & blue colors all print PERFECT. I am so impressed with the quality of the prints. But there are 2 colors that 

print "ok" but the same exact area on each part continues to mess up over & over on these specific colors. I am using the same program/file. Nothing changes on any of them other than the color..

I am in a rush & desperately need to finish these last 3 colors & have hit a brick wall! Any suggestions or help would be AWESOME!!

    Sorry to hear you are having this issue..

    But no one is really going to be able to provide advice for you without pictures of the issue vs good print and or screenshots of what the model looks like in the area with the print quality issue.

    It is possible depending on the brand of material that not all colors are created equally, this is not uncommon.
    Honestly not even all materials are created equal either.  There is no "standard" for how PLA must be made.. so everyone has their own recipe for it in most cases.
    Which would mean for those other colors you would need a slightly adjusted print profile if its the case for your issue.

      • 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.
