Most likely disabling "fix horrible type A" works around your problem. The main issue is most likely that Sketchup is generating horrible meshes again (it's great at generating horrible meshes, and you might want to look at designspark mechanical)

Nope. I'm doing small things on it, but my main priorities are elsewhere right now.

Because the plate on top of it is straight. If your glass plate is slightly curved (Which I suspect from your comment) then you will never correct this with 4 point leveling. But it could also be that one of your axis is bend, as this causes the print head to move up&down while it's moving.

The reason why you see a lot of SLA printers right now, is it's because it's very easy to produce. You only need a few bits and pieces. And I've seen quite a few selling without the needed beamer, which is the most essential component. I think it's a bit silly to think that with enough time all problems will go away. While I do think SLA can take over some of the market that FDM currently has. I think there are two important factors that will keep FDM in play: * Speed. Curing resins takes time. You cannot really speed up this process. You could use stronger light sources, but that has other drawbacks. With FDM you can go to thicker layers, and have a choice between speed and quality. With SLA it's always quality over speed. * Materials. FDM is getting more and more material options. All are safe to touch and handle. SLA on the other hand: https://s3.amazonaws.com/formlabs-com-assets/Black_Resin_MSDS_V5.pdf Eye and Face Protection: Chemical splash goggles or a face shield is recommended during operations where splashing could occur. Skin Protection: Avoid all skin contact. Depending on the conditions of use, cover as much of the exposed skin area as possible by wearing gloves, aprons, long pants, and long sleeved shirts. Other Controls: For operations where contact can occur a safety shower and eye wash facility should be available. Always use good personal hygiene and housekeeping practices. Wash thoroughly after handling. Environmental Exposure Controls: Keep product from waterways and watersheds. This substance is not readily biodegradable and dangerous for the environment. Avoid release to the environment. Also, with some resins (not sure, could be all), there is a chance to build-up an intolerance. There are reported cases of people unable to be in the same room as a SLA printer due to allergic reactions. And you cannot make every material into a resin. With FDM it's almost "if you can melt it, you can print it" As for powder. Ever used one of those machines? While the results look great there are problems with strength, and you need to clean off the powder from the print, which is a bit of a messy process. Rather not do that in my home.

Which compiler are you using? If you are using a cygwin compiler then this most likely explains it. I'm using mingw32 that comes with code-blocks.

Thanks to some assistance from Ice086 I think I have a solution for this bug. This bug prevents you from generating gcode files bigger then around 250MB, most likely this limit is only on Windows. I'm working on fixing this, as I've found a solution, but need to verify a lot of other code because of this.

Because defines are evaluated at compile time, while variable happen at runtime. (which is also why you get these errors) Some of this #ifdef stuff is found at timing critical code, which is why it is done this way.

Just copy the contents here, it's magic for most, but makes perfect sense to me :-)

No, in PU currently there is no option to change a setting at a certain height. This requires more engine work. (The engine and the backend code can set settings per object, or sub-part of objects, but there is no frontend to do this in yet. Except for which extruder to use for which object/part)

Can you try it from 14.07.1 http://software.ultimaker.com/Cura_closed_beta/ ? I do know we made some modifications for this, but not 100% in which version they ended up. I also have 14.09 standing ready for release, but waiting for a go from marketing.

Cura generates an output.txt in c:program files (x86)Cura_14.07 what does that say? Might be an error in there that can help in finding the cause of this issue.

Which version of Cura did you install the firmware from?

The bottle opener looks welded. The rocket part thingy looks made on a lathe... I could be wrong. But I don't think they actually have a working machine. And they won't develop one for only a 100k.

That's really odd... The setting which controls if the axis needs to be disabled is off: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Marlin/blob/Marlin_UM_HeatedBedUpgrade/Marlin/Configuration.h#L318 Outside of a print, there is a 10 minute delay till all axis are turned off. But this timer is reset on every move.

Er is/was een bug met Cura's printtijd berekening voor de UM2 en retraction. Dus een print met veel retraction kan er naast zitten met de estimate.

Yes, that solution works fine. We've ran it for months, as the wooden backplate was something added in later revisions.

Wat bedoel je precies met "3dgenius" time?

Welke versie Cura? En hoeveel zit hij er naast?

I snap them to 50cm pieces or smaller, and put them in the bowden tube before other filament. (If the print has no retraction)

You can also use the old Z nut on the bed, with a printed connection piece. You do need to cut a piece from the alu-bed then. And adjust the steps-per-mm for the Z. We looked at this as an option for the upgrade kit. But it added more parts for us, which made it more costly in the end.

The rest would plug in, but the system would reset if you turn on both the heated-bed and both heaters. (one heater and heater bed, or just 2 heaters without bed will work) The HBK comes with a 24V power-supply, and a small circuit board, this board creates 19V for the rest of the system and controls the heated bed. If you do not use this board to supply the rest of the system with 19V, but use your old 19V supply, then you can do dual-extrusion.

"breakthrough". Yes and no. We're heading in 2 directions right now. One is the "quick fix", just getting the current setup to work on dual-extrusion. Easy to upgrade on the current machines. 100% sure we can get this working with some adjustments. But this isn't fully ready yet. And at the same time we're looking into radical solutions, but no guarantee that we can have that ready in Q1 2015. And most likely need to replace the whole hotend. This was what the hotend people where mostly working on. But it's getting into a state where a viable upgrade-kit becomes harder and harder. Due to all the changes they are making. They kinda lost track of the goal (upgrade for the UM2), and went beyond that (much improved hotend). So we had a good meeting a while back, looking at the actual goal, looking at what we where working on. And that's how the Q1 2015 promise came to be. So, lots happening here. We're not perfect, but stuff is happening. Sorry that it takes so long.

Yes. It uses a new sensor. The same sensor as in the UM2. We have a much lower failure rate with this sensor. As it removes the need for the small circuit on the print head. The UMO+ electronics are the same electronics as in the UM2. So that's 1 board with everything on it. The older "use relay/SSR" with 2nd powersupply trick can still be done to support an UMO+ and dual-extrusion. (but hooking up 2 powersupplies in parallel should not be done, switching powersupplies will break when you do this) If you want to hack things, then dual-extrusion on an UMO+ can most certainly be done. All the hardware for it is there, firmware support wise, it's not problem. I even build the firmwares for that: https://github.com/daid/Cura/tree/SteamEngine/resources/firmware/ It's just that it does not work out of the box right now. But it's not impossible to get it to work.

Well, I was wondering if it was the python process getting out of memory (which happens around the 2.5GB mark, so you are not close to that) But, support material is very CPU intensive right now, so it could be that it is working, but very slow.

As far as I know right now, the UMO+ will NOT work properly with the dual-extrusion kit. This has been a bit of an oversight from us (R&D department). If dual-extrusion is your goal, it's best to pickup an UMO and Dual-extrusion kit. (And heated bed kit if you want that as well, as that combination does work, as you will have two power supplies then) --------------------------------- Details on why the UMO+ and Dual kit won't work: * Dual kit does not contain an extra PT100 for temperature measuements (UMO used a thermocouple) * Dual kit contains a 19V 40W heater, while the UMO+ uses 24V * Using the supplied heaters, with the heated bed will cause the power-supply to switch off due to over-current. You would need a 2nd power-supply and switching circuit on the heated-bed for this to work. Not impossible to build, but not supplied by Ultimaker right now.
