Hello 3D Printing Enthusiasts!

I've been working on a project to 3D print a custom-designed phone case, but I've hit a roadblock and could really use your insights.

Issue: The problem is with the texture and finish of the case. Each time I print, the surface comes out rough and uneven, with small bumps and ridges instead of the smooth finish I'm aiming for. I've tried adjusting the print speed and temperature, but the issue persists.

Attempts to Fix: I've experimented with different filament types and print settings, yet no luck. I'm currently using PLA filament and have tried varying temperatures from 190°C to 210°C.

Setup: My printer is a Prusa i3 MK3S, and I'm using Cura for slicing with a layer height of 0.2mm.

If anyone has experience with this or can offer some tips on how to achieve a smoother finish on 3D printed objects, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if there are any recommended settings or materials that work best for phone cases, please let me know!

Thank you in advance for your help!

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
