Raised Edges - Simple Metal

Posted · Raised Edges - Simple Metal

Hi guys,

I have started to use Cura and all my prints are almost perfect except one problem.

I have found same issue on this forum but couldn't fix it on my Printrbot Simple metal

I basically have raised edges, it looks like over extruded, but I have reduced filament flow and still have the problem.

But what interesting if I print a cube it happens only on two corners . please see image.

Thanks for your advice.

    I'm sorry, but from the image it looks to me like the z-seam?

    In that case there's not much you can do with Cura, I'm afraid...

    Thank for your guys.

    Yes, I have tried to print more then one cube, with and without brim.

    Both cubes have the same issue and only from one side!

    I have tried to rotate them the issue still from the same side.

    It looks like it is a point where hot end stops and starts to print next layer.

     

    What does Z- seam means and how to fix it?

     

    Cheers

    From the post,It looks like there is no solution :(

    Any other ideas.

    I will try to print a simple cylinder just to see if it is a Z_scar

    Ok...

    I have just printed some tests.

    Settings are the same

    1. Two cubes with option print all at once. And they are perfect!!!

    2. Just a single cylinder. It has two seams

    3. One cube - seams on two corners again

    There should be a solution, I can't print all parts two times ))

    Just a thought maybe it it because of Z-Hop. Mine is 0.075

    Hmmm... that's maybe a value the printer is not comfortable with. Try 0.1mm as this is the z resolution of the Simple Metal, isn't it?

    What print speed do you use? A lower print speed might smooth the effect as it doesn't have to slow down that much for the z step... Can you reduce the temperature a bit without getting underextrusion or are you already at the lower limit?

    Hi there,

    Yep i will try with 0.1. Thanks for suggesting this.

    I am printing at 195 -197C and my printing speed is 50.

    I can try to lower the speed to 30 and temperature to 190C - just to test.

    Will come back with resultsrobably tomorrow

    Have you got one or two extruders? I ask because I can suffer from this on the cube too and I have two extruders, which pushes the right hand fan further away; this makes me think the right hand side is not cooled enough. I am thinking that your success with printing two pieces might support that view.

    Nope, I do have only one extruder

    Ah maybe wrong question :cool:. Are the fans equidistant from your extruder or is there a space to the right of your extruder to fit a 2nd extruder? That would cause the issue I was referring to.

      • 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.
