underextrusion after brim

Hoping someone has run into this problem.

 

Ultimaker 3 prints brim fine and then as soon as it goes to print the actual piece underextrusion happens. Photos attached.

 

Just so we can rule out a few things.

-new bowden tubes

-new bondtech extruders as I thought this was the issue, the original ones were getting quite old since the machine has been used a lot.

-new 0.25AA cores, same thing happens on AA0.4 core as well

 

Using standard profiles for different core types, the only thing I really change is infill up to 25%. Played around with temperatures but it doesn't really make a difference.

 

When I pulled out the material it is different from a normal material unload where it gets caught in the printhead and will not unload. There is a bulbous section that travels up 40mm from the end of the material. Photo attached for reference.

 

photo attached with thin lines is with 0.25 core

photo attached with more of a solid look to it 0.4 core

 

I think there must be an issue with the printhead somewhere. Maybe some sort of heating issue.

 

logs attached

 

If anyone can assist it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Peter

    Could it be that the nozzle-cooling fan is not working, and the heat creeps up into and above the nozzles, weakening the filament and thus blocking further feeding? That could produce similar effects. Those fans could suck-up debris and hairs of filament, and get stuck.

    The fan was the first thing I thought of, too. I experienced a similar issue in which prints would fail partway through the first layer, because the nozzle temps weren't triggering the front fan.

     

    First thing I'd do is this cleaning routine:

    Then I would run a cleaning routine on the nozzle (hot pull) and start a new print to see if/when the front fan kicks in before the print begins to underextrude.

      • 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.
