  1. I would also lower the temperature to get rid of this coral, maybe up the speed a little bit.

    I usually have this when i print the hollow pyramid, which i use to find the sweet spot for filaments.

    Like a calibration model.

    I start of with lets say 210°C at 45mm/s, and see some of this coral rising. Then i wipe it off with a screwdriver or something, tweak the temperature and speed and see if it stays gone for a couple of cm. Often i end up with a unrememberable combination of 117% (based on 45mm/s) at 212°C or something. So i write it on a piece of tape and put it on the reel of filament.

    Usually i only do this for long prints or when high quality is required.

     

  2. WIP... This is a character from a movie I worked on. Once put together, the model will stand about 30cm tall. On this photo, the jacket just came out of the printer, still need cleaning. I'm very happy with the way this is coming along. The shoes, glasses and the head were printed at 0.06mm, you can't tell the difference on this photo but it's really there, big improvement on the smooth parts. I might even reprint the jacket at this resolution. It was printed with Colorfabb's "intense green". It does not look very intense on the photo but it's a lot brighter for real

     

    Did you finish this model? Perhaps i missed it, but i never saw it put together :)

    Looking forward to see the final results :)

     

  3. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the time is uuppppppppppp..

    I will select a couple of jury-members who can rank the designs and hopefully, within the next couple of days/week

    we will be able to introduce the winner!

    If anybody feels the need to push one of the designs forward as his/her favorite we will take this into consideration as well :)

    Thanks!

     

  4. You did read it correct, but i will allow Erik to fill (you) in on the details ;)

    I am also a true supporter of YouMagine, and along with the contribution and collaboration feature i think it is important and very useful for all participants to be able to make an individual profile where they can list their skills, and show their activity based on like interest, pic of prints, models, other make's beside printing.

    This could be convenient in sourcing a team to work on projects and will also showcase the most active users.

    It would be wonderful to be able to easily continue on other people's ideas to make it fit on your personal needs.

    Sharing and collaborating, nice words!

     

  5. wow, GUYS!! I haven't checked this topic in a little while and ALL of these amazing prints have been made!!!

    Absolutely amazing, great stuff!!!

    I have to ask, @Valcrow, is that hammer up for sharing?

    @Capn, great looking Owl. I really love the style of the modeler, went to the blogpost as well!

    The print quality is superb!

    Is that faberdasherry's stone-grey-colored PLA?

    Are you going to print more of his stuff?

    I love character design!!

     

  6. Cool designs, i really like the belt!

    Sky

    I also have one final design, i should be uploaded along with this post.

    It says: Even the sky is not the limit!

    showing an Ultimaker robot with a cute astronaut helmet attached to a rocket that is sticking out

    of an Ultimaker.

    Unfortunately my free time is limited to such a level that again i didn't find the time to work it out to a proper design, so i have again uploaded the idea. Hopefully you will all like it :)

    If you all do, i will make a proper design out of it.

    If you are interested; you can visit my website (www.SandervanGeelen.nl) to see what it will probably look like in the end.

    I hope everybody is cool with me uploading another design today.

    Initially the contest was until, i believe, yesterday.

    Because, besides me, i saw a few other entries being sent today i will expend it to the end of the week.

    Monday i will gather my team and have a look at the designs.

    It goes without saying that i won't have a say in the outcome.

    I will keep you guys posted, and i am looking forward to those last designs!!

    As for now i want to thank everybody for taking the effort to come up with an idea / design.

    Very much appreciated!

     

  7. Hi Benny,

    I am sorry to hear you already experienced difficulties with your hot end on such short notice.

    My advice is when you are experiencing such difficulties or if you can not find a part in the shop to contact the support team. We will be able to help you, and get you back to printing asap.

    In regard to the shipment of your order, it will most likely be shipped out today so it should arrive most likely Thursday.

    Have a nice day,

     

  8. Hi Johnny,

    Thank you for your post, and your update about the workaround.

    On another occasion this sometimes happens when you enter the number of your house prior to the street.

    Luckily, it is rare but sometimes it happens.

    I am glad you managed to complete the purchase, thank you and welcome to the community! :)

     

  9. Hi Yuriy,

    I see you also sent an email but i didn't get around to sent a reply yet, so i will reply now :)

    Hope that is ok as well.

    It is no problem to order a Kit when you are not from the EU. But it is not possible to pick it up, I'm sorry.

    If you want to talk about details or alternatives please sent me a PM.

    Thanks and have a nice day!

    Like promised here are the doodles i made for the Tshirt competition.

    I can't stretch the word 'doodles' enough ;)

    Looking forward what everybody has to say about them, if 1 or 2 seem to get some interest i will put

    some more efforts in them and make an actual design.

    Enjoy!

     

  11. Hi.

    I am sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties, but they all sound fixable! So that is a good thing :)

    1: Sounds like your nozzle is too far of the bed. It may look good, but based on what happens i guess it isn't.

    Maybe this picture gives you an idea of what the first layer should look like:

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/ultimaker/8231668201/

    It should be (slightly) pressed in the tape. So i would recommend to move your build platform up a little bit.

    2: I am looking forward to see a picture addressing this problem. If your print is slanted, get a screwdriver and run by all 12 pulleys and make them super-tight!

    3: Is your Y rod able to rotate freely? Or is it rubbing against the end cap?

    If you think your motor is the problem, try to switch the X and Y motor at your pcb.

    If you home after you have done it, it will move the the back right corner instead of front left, but you will able to hear if the noise is different/gone. You can also go to Prepare > Move Axis > 1mm > Y axis with your UltiController to move it around.

    It will hopefully give you insight in where the noise is coming from, i.e. mechanic/electronic.
