Im using the same 3d Printer so i will try your settings you mentioned, I’ll repost when i finish my print.
Oh yea i think im running the extruder temp at 205

My nozzle size is correct and the extrusion width was set to “auto” should i put manual and change it to 0.4 as well… its grayed out on (0.48)
I also raised the layers to 6 on top and bottom because i need both faces to be pretty clean
Yea i was thinking about making my own support but how? should i use solidworks or autocad and add like triangle supports or like you said double walls beneath my design or is there a way to import my own, i see the import option in Simplify3D but no idea where to begin
PLA at 205, just changed to 200c to see if change occurs
OKay checked this possiblity but i dont think its the issue, game em all a nice tighten though. The ultimaker robot did fairly well but a little drooping on the bottom below the body
Then you could use this great visual guide
Awesome…great guide thank you!
Ultimakers handle PLA at 225-230 quite well. Both of mine are running right now at 230.
Alrighty I’ll try to raise the temp but i thought someone stated it was too high in regards to the photo
Your definitely not to hot if your only at 205 on an ultimaker. That I can say for sure. Up the temp and see if it helps.
The simplest way would be to open it in solidworks or even blender and add a box 0.8 mm wide along the length, intersecting the model. I use Rhino for my modeling and it’s about 3 clicks of work there. Just add some geometry that you can cut off later to hold it down. Also, Cura has a very good line support
The temp should be between 190 and 210 for pla, if you’re printing slow, go for a lower temperature.
The infill overlap I was referring to was the infill and walls not touching and therefore giving you a bad part with no structure. I you use this feature at 60% it will give a better result since the infill will overlap the outside shell more and be more structurally sound.
205C as others has said is way to low.
It was really a result of all the suggestions above haha, I just had to turn up the heat, slow it down a bit, add more layers to shells, a few other things and im pretty happy with my results now, also just printed a new fan duct and installed with a breeze
