Under extrusion ?

Hi,

I have some problems on the picture here. Some lines are full of small holes...

It seems that increasing the flow by 10% and slower speed solve the problem.

Do you know why ? Is there a better solution ?

Thanks in advance

    3 things can cause this problem:

    1) Defective printer

    2) Printing too much material too fast

    3) Printing too cold

    What is your layer height, print speed, and nozzle temperature? You should not exceed half the volume shown in the dark blue line in this graph:

    I will see for the parameters tonight.

     

    I found also a bowden tube problem.

     

    I had a massive bronzefill problem. The head was full of bronze. The filament in the bowden tube was pretty hot. I found that the inner diameter of the bowden tube is too narrow the last cm.

     

    I have to change it. Do you know if the bowden tube on the online store is compatible with the UM2 ?

     

    Thanks

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        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
