  1. I am running the latest Cura. This might be something I never noticed but I would like to stop. After slicing a part I would place the G-Code on a card place in my printer, find the file and press start. The first thing that happens is the part fan comes on, then the bed and nozzle come up to temp and then the part fan shut off to do the first layer. I checked the G-Code and first lines of code set and turn on the bed and nozzle temps. Next is my Start code with the first line being M107. No matter what I do the part fan always comes on and stays on until the M107 is read. I can manually move it in front of the temp start up and it works fine. Any thoughts would be helpful.
  2. @peggyb What printer and G-code flavor are you using to see the "Enable Prime Blob"?
  3. Well what do I do about the nozzle diving into the prime blob just before it goes to print the model and drags it along screwing up my first layer?
  4. Thanks Peg, but visibility is checked but I can't get to it. ANy ideas?
  5. I have the same issue, I enabled visablity to all and can't see temp settings, or disable prime blob. Any suggestions?
  6. Hi I just upgraded to 4.6.1 from 4.4.1 Honestly I have only seen one thing that I don't know how to fix. After warm up the nozzle moves to the lower left corner as always, stops about 20mm above the bed and primes the nozzle for about 5 seconds leaving a coil of filament. Then something it's never done before, the nozzle comes down to about 3mm smushing into the blob of filament and taking it for a ride to the print causing a mess and a failed print. For the moment my fix is I just sit and wait for the blob to be done and I quickly remove it before it can come down. Any thoughts? Anyone else see this? I have an Ultimaker 2+ extended. Domenick
  7. I am running Cura 3.6 and it says that under material should be the Build Plate Temperature but I can't see it to change. It is checked in the Setting Visibility window but when you hover over it a window says it's hidden and why, but I don't know what it means. Any clarity would be appreciated. Oh and I know I can do it right on the UM2E+. See screen shots for message.
  8. Hey Tvb1996 did the profile work for the UM2E+ ? I just came across this thread after playing unsuccessfully for the last year.
  9. @ultiarjan Thank you for the info. I will do the change over as soon as i secure an order using the XStrand material. Thank again. Dom
  10. Can XStrand be used with the Ultimaker 2+ ? What if any mods are necessary?
  11. Can some tell me what parts of the extrusion head is a consumable (needs replacing other than the nozzle? Does it have a peek isolator, ptfe coupler, hot end isolator, or hot end isolator coupler?
  12. Thanks for the info. it is greatly appreciated.
  13. Sweet weekend reading material. Thanks...
  14. Hello, As my topic states I am new to 3D printing, but I am not new to 3D CAD. I have been designing in Pro E and Solidworks for years. As a mechanical engineer I can't wait to order one of these puppies. It seems top me that the Ultimaker is the best for what I want to do, which I can't say right now. but bere I pull the trigger I thought that maybe I could get some insight to the following: For a single pc model: 1. I design something in solidworks, what do I have to learn to make a 3D print? 2. I want to work with ABS and read about the need for a heated bed plate. Does the heat get controlled by an external source and is it controlled by the machine or by the operator? 3. If I want to build an assembly doe it have to be done in pcs and then assembled? 4. What software is needed, if any, to add suppot webing to a model? 5. Can I switch colors in the middle of a print by stopping/ pausing it and switching to continue? 6. Finally, although I'll think of more, if I wanted to scan say my hand then print it, what is the best way? Any and all responses are welcome. Domenick
