Dear team,

 

We tried to print a statue of Buddha using Bronze filament, we made the 3D model to be printed with heat bed temperature of 110°C and nozzle temperature at 210°C, found certain issues, like after the certain stage of the print, the object output is not coming like other filament, please find the screenshot for the same and suggest us how to use it and provide a solution and reason for root cause.

 

Name of 3D Printer used is Ultimaker2

Filament Type: ColorFabb (BRONZEFILL) 2.85mm.

 

If i print with other material the models comes well.

    http://colorfabb.com/bronzefill#tips-tricks-woodfill a lower heated bed temperature. You should try that. If your bed is too hot, the print will not stick well and will probably deform and melt while printing.

    /Didier beat me :(

    By the way:

    I noticed this with Colorfabb XT (which is a very different material, so it might not apply here!). I usually print at 30 - 35 mm/s (very slow). But sometimes it's actually better to print a little faster. Colorfabb recommends 50mm/s for Bronzefill. It may be that printing slower than that actually gives worse results (if the hotend moves too slowly, it can melt the printed plastic and make it expand, which is what happens with XT).

    Hello Fancy, I am using bronzefill lately, it's an amazing material.

    My settings (inspired by the colorfabb profile already posted above by Didier Klein) are as follows:

    layer height 0.1

    initial layer thickness: 0.3

    speed 50 (infill+outer shell+inner shell)

    bottom layer speed 20

    top/bottom speed 15

    Bed temp: 55°C

    Extruder Temp: 220

    Retraction: yes

    Works nicely, however I found that doing a couple of atomic pulls before each print, or when you change filament, is a good practice as the bronzefill tends to create deposits inside the nozzle.

    heat bed temperature of 110°C

     

    Yikes! No - that's bad. 110C is for ABS. Bronzefill is PLA. Try 50C.

      • 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.
