(notice: The first Sample should be ignored, it was a normal (non printed) plastic probe, so my first sample starts with number 2)
So what you can see is that with lower Temp the strength goes down. No big suprise.
But the last Sample with 260°C and 110% got a very good improvement on the breaking elongation.
Under the microscope you can see that the infill did not really melted together. While the two outer lines were much stronger. So it looks like i need to go up with the flow rate.
Its funny because with the eyes only, it looks almost over extruded, but under the microscope you could see that the lines are not always touching each other.
Also under the microscope the outer lines didn't look different at 100% flow or 110% flow. Witch means going up with the flow rate should not affect print quality that much.
Here are the pictures of the broken surface. The whiter the surface is, the more deformation it gets before it did break.
So you can see all three 100% flow rate samples have very bad sticking on the infill, but quite good sticking on the outerlines. Even the sample with 110% flow rate still got not a perfect infill.
I will try to do some other tests with lower speed, more flow, and thinner nozzle size in cura soon.

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.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials

Hello, today i also did some strength tests in my university and i want to share the results with you.
I tested Black abs http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/555893/3D-Drucker-Filament-Velleman-ABS3B1-ABS-Kunststoff-3-mm-Schwarz-1-kg/SHOP_AREA_857889?
I printed the 1BA.stl from here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:190386/#files
all parts were printed flat on the build plate.
I tested 4 samples.
Print parameters:
All speeds: 50mm/s
100 %infill
0.8shell
1 sample: 260°C 100% infill
2 sample: 250°C 100% infill
3 sample: 240°C 100% infill
4 sample: 260°C 110% infill
Diagrams:
