Hi guys ! Hope you are fine, I just noticed that there is a color difference on the first layer for everything I try to print, do you know what is the cause of this ?

 

I use an ultimaker 2 printer, and the build plate is properly levelled.

    Also ( I don't think this needs to create another topic) I have this little issue at the end of every print I make : the nozzle doesn't go up directly at the end of the print so it keep extruding material and create this non desirable thing. Any solutions ?

    Looks like this is not a color difference, but a transparency difference, caused by a varying thickness. This varying thickness is caused by an uneven distance from the nozzle to the buildplate, ie an uneven buildplate. To mitigate the issue, you could try to increase your initial layer height in Cura, but it would be better to make sure the bed is actually level and flat.

      • 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.
