Hi,

This is my first post with Ultimaker.

I am fairly new to the 3d printing world. In Janurary this year I got my Ultimaker 2. I have printed quite a few things over the past few months, learning as I go.

But I am having a huge problem with one part that I am trying to print. I have failed at least 6 times. And I need some advice.

The file I am trying to print is this:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zsn96gard590bvq/skirt.stl?dl=0

And everytime I try to print, I get this:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jk7f4eca2u3c308/2015-03-19%2008.48.20.jpg?dl=0

I am using mostly default settings, except the layer height is 0.06mm, and speed is 30mm/s.

If I print without supports, I get that result everytime.

If I add supports, it fails even quicker.

I have also tried glue from the glue stick, as well as hairspray, same issue.

Any suggestions?

    So the bottom part (the part that prints ok) is that still firmly attached to the buildplate at the time you discover the fail?

    It looks like a classic example of print becoming loose and being shifted around on the plate, hence newly extruded plastic has nothing to bond to and just becomes the spaghetti you show in the picture...

    Is your heatbed on?

    As Tommy said. Try to print with a Brim so that the piece stays in place.

      • 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.
