Failed at printing and adjusting


Recommended Posts

Posted · Failed at printing and adjusting

Hi guys;

I need help for adjusting the printer.

I tried all the explanations at "3DVERKSTAN" 's website but could not find a solution for fails.

You can see from the pictures above.

1. Walls are not touching

I streched all the belts and lubricated rods. Tightened all the screws on the pulleys.

2. Extrusions problem

extruder motor is working well. Tried the atomic pull techinque for cleaning the nozzle. adjusted the extruder parts screws.

But nothing changed

I've got really good printing at first then moved the printer to another city so it moved and some adjustments are changed. I'am using same material and the same files for tests.

Need help

Thanks

    OK can you please send us the settings that you used for the print - are those pics all from the same print?. Are pics 1& 4 of the base? It looks as if the first few layers are a wall and then there is a platform further up the model, is that correct?

    Also helpful if you could send a pic of the model from Cura or your modelling software so we can get a feel for what it is meant to look like and where on the model pics 2&3 are located.

    You do not mention levelling the bed and setting the nozzle to bed distance. Did you do this? Did you do it slowly and carefully, maybe several times?

    Yes you re correrct 1 and 4 th ones are stopped printings cause i saw the mistakes.

    Settings are cura 15.02's basic fast printing settings.

    Model is 3d scanned of me.

    I printed it before and it was perfect.

    Also i checked the bed leveling many times by using cura s bed levelling software.

    Checked the rods distances by using UMO s rod leveling sticks.

    I can send the pictures of the first good printing and the last ones too.

    Ok I am still in the dark really because I do not know what the settings in " Basic fast" are - but that is probably irrelevant as you have done the print successfully before - using the same setting?

    I suspect the problem is either that you have filament stuck in the nozzle or a problem with the drive system (causing you to under extrude) or you have suffered a hardware problem from the move (possibly the more probable). I will need to hand you over to UM owners for that one.

    I would start with a more basic print and using the normal rate of 0.1 step height, checking carefully your Cura settings, or was this produced using the old Cura file you used before? I don't hav an origional Ultimaker so not sure where the problem may be but the flow looks uneven, has the tension on the feeder changed? And is the room temperature different? As slightly different temperature settings may be needed.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
