Strange Z-Scar behavior

Posted · Strange Z-Scar behavior

Hello everyone. I recently bought a used S5. So far I am very happy with the machine. But it seems to have a strange behavior. As you can see on th pictuer there is a perfect wall on one side of the z-scar and some kind of offset on the other side. The offset keeps on going till the wall ends into an opening on the other side of the model. 

Short belts should be tight and material is as dry as it can be. 

Any suggestions? IMG20240321072749.thumb.jpg.34f2888e68c59ba210cdc00fe21d1299.jpgIMG20240321072806.thumb.jpg.ce0cf532f81a96702331b28088fae4b8.jpgIMG20240321072820.thumb.jpg.0874340c44a0286bffb0070c01d198f4.jpg

    It's most likely underextruding at either the start or the end of the seam (more often at the end). Try increasing Walls > Outer Wall Wipe Distance (if you can't see it, just search for it) to 0.2mm and see if that helps. If it makes a difference but it's not quite good enough then increase it a little at a time.

     

    If it doesn't seem to be making any difference, then feel free to post back and I'll see what else I can pull out of my head.

        (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.
