Request help printing the Ultracortex Mark III with an Ultimaker 2

Hello,

I am trying to build a Ultracortex Mark III with an
Ultimaker 2 and got so far 2 failed prints for the frame. I used support
and lowered the speed but at one point the nozzle was clogged. While
The mechanical parts, cases and in a second try the back half of the
frame were printed successfully, after the failed first attempt of the
front part I am not allowed to do another try on my universities
3D-printer till I consulted with one of the tutors who doesn't come back
till April. If I could show him (via Mail) working parameters, I may
can start earlier. Does anybody printed the frame successfully with an
Ultimaker 2 and could share the files with me? Or alternatively share
plausible settings with me that would prevent another failed print?

Best regard  
Patrick

    Hi,
    Did you manage to finish your print? My first question would be: Why Mark III?. Mark IV is much better optimized for 3D printing and an all-around better design. You would have to buy the electrode kit from OpenBCI in that case, or simply buy a Mark IV style frame which is Mark 3 compatible so you can use the bolts you already made.

    If you'd still like to print it, can you share a screenshot of your slicer program showing the preview? You have probably read this in ten other threads, but the #1 printing problem is incorrect part orientation. The flat side (the division between front and back) should be flat on the print bed. After that, default settings work on most machines (0.2mm layers, 65 degree support), though I have not tried it on Ultimaker myself.
