Maybe you have the "Joris" option enabled? That setting makes the outer perimeter slowly increase in Z height.

I think it's a default feature of the webshop software that Ultimaker uses. And maybe the support section gives out coupon codes for replacement parts. But there are no "coupon actions" that I know off.

so is this issue fixed, or are all those functions still 1/100 steps in the UC? It's not fixed. I want to fix it, but when I do I will overhaul all LCD menu code, because it's a huge mess. The timeout has bugged me as well, I even removed it on my "demo" firmware. Everything in the menu code code overhauled after the many-button solution. So the old code would no longer have worked. There is a huge difference between a CNC mill and a 3D printer. And that's that you do not need to set the "home" position on a 3D printer, like on a CNC mill. But adding some extra button support shouldn't be hard in the firmware. It's just that there is no standard hardware for it yet. Which would make support a bit random. this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7550 Ah, ok. No support for it yet, but it's somewhere all the way down on my todo-list.

But I read this here. 1) More buttons? The original version of the LCD had lots of more buttons. It was complex to use. It's a case of "less is more" 2) Done. G10 and G11 in the latest Marlin sources. 3) Nothing in Marlin stops you from doing this already. It's just that the set standard is currently mm of extrusion. 4) All numbers adjusting functions can use an update. Adjusting the steps-per-e per 0.01 is also silly when the number is over 900. 5) Not sure what you mean with a Z-Probe.

My mechanical functions for the TITAN contain different sized steppers. Modelled from the mechanical drawings of different NEMA steppers: https://github.com/daid/TITAN/blob/mast ... nical.scad The NEMA17 is the one you are looking for. It also contains a few other parts you might like, like the V1 and V2 hotend.

http://daid.eu/~daid/gear.png I haven't printed it yet, but I've designed a single wall flexible gear today. Photo also shows some combing problems, and my new 3D window colors :-)

If your start Z is too high, you can simply turn the big screw by hand during the printing of the first layer. The machine can withstand this. Sometimes this is easier then calibrating the Z bed again.

It should work fine without problems. The "Port already occupied" problem happened to me even before I had an UltiController. So I do not think they are related.

There is also Autodesk 123D, which is a sort of mix between professional AutoCAD and google sketchup. It's free. I tried to use it once for a design, but when I was almost finished, it crashed on me. And it doesn't make autosaves.

ReplicatorG uses the default from the firmware.

Here. Or on the github issue tracker. But both work. I'm very open to ideas, because I'm nowhere near a UI designer. As for, "what's in the work". I've already changed the visuals for the 3D view, it looks less 80's now, with fresh colors, no longer white on black. I'm also working on having a rotation ring, and move/scale/flip/rotate arrows around the model to orientate it. As the current orientation features pretty much suck.

Did you load the STL into normal Cura or into the project planner?

Your thermocouple board connector is lose, on the PCB side or on the HEAD size. This causes the "SLEEP" message and a full stop of the printer.

Nope.

I want to arrange some kind of price. But I have to see what is feasible. But Anita's boyfriend might object to a candlelight dinner ;-) But I can offer you a romantic dinner with "MULHER 2.stl" if you are feeling really lonely ;-P

You can see them during USB printing, if you dont' use PrintRun, but Cura to print.

Adjusting the flow IS adjusting the steps-per-E actually. Only the displayed value is wrong the flow is displayed as 655.35 too low. So 270 flow is actually 270+655.35=925.35 steps per E. I think I fixed the display bug in Marlin, but I haven't tested it yet.

Not with settings, but the Cura printing interface of 12.08 allows this, as you can set different speed modifiers for the infill and walls.

If you don't enter it in Cura, then the default from the firmware is used. It's quite an advanced calibration thing, and I shouldn't have put it in the first-run-wizard.

I've been doing some tests with FreeCAD: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=Main_Page It's free, it's open source, and it's pretty feature rich. It doesn't do as much as solidworks or autocad I guess. Don't get thrown off by the 0.12 version number, that's just OpenSource being OpenSource. For free form modeling, Sculptris seems really nice as a free option: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculptris I haven't really made anything with it yet, but it felt really natural to use. (Not sure about the export options!)

Ikea has these screws. I think they are in their curtain rails, but you could also check their lamps, as there is a big chance for one of these screws to be in there.

Feel free to stark working on something. I think I will start a sort of contest when I release the next version of Cura. So I can do some kind of bigger announcement with a new release and a contest.

Ian, that's normal, because Cura doesn't have a proper logo/icon yet. I want to have some kind of contest for it, but I haven't got around to arrange it yet.

You are missing the numpy library. This should be available from easy_install. By running "sudo easy_install numpy". You could also download 12.07, which doesn't use the numpy library yet. But is quite a bit slower and uses more memory.
