I have received my ulitmaker 2 yesterday and printed some things

as of this morning I am getting weird issues. see image below

ScreenHunter 497 Mar. 26 13.17

 

this is the robot from the flashcard, it behaves weird after a while.

I have also reprinted the ring and that one is looking like a swiss cheese

 

any idea what is going on ?? I suspect the extruder or extruder speed ,

    That is basic underextrusion. A common problem. Usually it means you are printing too fast or too cold. Here is a suggested max print speed for a given temperature assuming .2mm layers. You can print twice as fast for .1mm layers. It may be that you have to shove the filament in hard when you start printing again to get it past the current spot as you probably ground down your filament right at the feeder:

    ASSUMING .2MM LAYERS

    20mm/sec at 200C

    30mm/sec at 210C

    40mm/sec at 225C

    50mm/sec at 240C

    the diamond pattern on the PLA looks fine, I am not sure what caused it to under extrude, I retracted the PLA and re-inserted it, tighten the feeder up a little bit and it seems to work with the standard settings on the flash card. I will talke note of your recommended settings for my own models.

    thanks for your help

      • 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.
