Hello, I'm glad someone linked to the support articles. They are a good resource to check first. I would indeed recommend using the adhesion sheets or something similar. There are upsides and downsides to an adhesion sheet, a downside being that the entire adhesion sheet is not easy to remove so you will have one side of your buildplate with the adhesion sheet. (Unless you have more than one glass plates). A friendly alternative, which is also mentioned in the support article is the adhesive from Magigoo: https://magigoo.com/products/magigoo-pp/ Magigoo has pretty good adhesives for 3D printing. Not every glue is the same, so the same glue you have been using for PLA will not be sufficient for PP. PP warps much stronger than PLA does. Good luck!

Hallo, bedankt voor je bericht. Software settings kunnen invloed hebben op de beschikbare ruimte die je hebt om je 3D print in te plaatsen. Als je bijvoorbeeld een prime tower activeert in Cura, welke in de rechts achter hoek geplaatst zal worden, dan kan dit niet overlappen met je print. Als je maximale bouwhoogte op 298mm uitkomt, dan heb je waarschijnlijk de functie Z Hop aanstaan. Als je 'Z Hop When Retracted' uitzet, zul je denk ik tot 300mm uit moeten komen. Succes!

Hi @Nicko_Airbus thank you for your message. Apologies for my late response. I was quite occupied with the organising and contributing during the Ultimaker Transformation Summit. Can you explain what issues you are experiencing, and can you elaborate a little bit more on how you use the material in combination with the material station? For example, do you dry it before it goes into the material station? It does a great job keeping it dry, but it might be more difficult in getting it dry if it contained too much moisture when you load it in the material station.

Ouch! That is part on why we're very careful with the information we provide. We wouldn't want to repeat that again. When more information is available, I'll let you know!

Hi @Desprinzla, thank you for your message. And thanks, we think you are nice too! 🙂 On this website (at the bottom) you can compare different software plans and you can see that you can use the digital library for free for up to 5 projects, with 20 files per project. Hope this helps and is enough to get you started! Good luck!

hah, I am glad to hear that! Next time we'll put you on stage and save everyone 45 minutes ok 😉

Hi Claus, thank you for your feedback. I found it quite inspiring, to learn about the vision, research and strategy that goed behind our products and their placement. The essence of what Jurgen shared is captured on this page. Perhaps you like it more. If anyone is interested to see Jurgen's presentation, you can still do so at the Ultimaker Transformation Summit!

We have updated the page now with the starting times for every session so you can plan your visit more accurately! Don't miss out and make sure you sign up for the Ultimaker Transformation Summit! Read more about the Ultimaker Transformation Summit here

Excellent, thank you for discovering and letting us know. I will share this with my colleagues to remove that as a condition so it won't affect anyone else. Have a great evening!

Hi @wjbdesign, thanks for letting us know! Have you tried more than once, to ensure there was not just an (unfortunate) temporarily glitch in the system or connection? In the meantime I'll check if all systems are up and operational.

Done!

Hi, not as a user. This is not an option out of the box but I can change your username for you if you want, being an admin. If you can let me know what you would like to change it into, via a reply or DM, I can process it for you.

The beta version of Ultimaker Cura 4.9 is here. This release contains a bundle of bug fixes and feature improvements increasing software stability, and further simplifying and streamlining print preparation as you continuously strive for first-time right results.  What’s new? The Z-seam is now clearly shown in Preview mode.  This ensures that you will know whether the seam will be sufficiently hidden in the end product. This will also indicate the starting point of the print. Thanks to BasF0 for contributing to this feature. “Line type” is now the default color scheme.  When entering the Preview mode, you don’t have to switch manually to line type. This will improve your user experience.   Weight estimation in decimals.  This provides a more detailed idea of the amount of material used – which is especially useful for smaller prints.   We added 18 printer definitions for third-party printers. This makes Ultimaker Cura more accessible to you the community users. Bug fixes: “Connect top/bottom polygons” setting. We have fixed a bug in which this setting was unintentionally hidden when initial layer bottom layers are set to “concentric”.  Ultimaker Cura not slicing. We have fixed a bug causing Ultmaker Cura not to slice a model if one sub-model of a group was below the build plate. Security patch - Fixed a security vulnerability on Windows permitting the openssl library used to launch other programs. Thanks to Xavier Danest for raising this bug. For more information on new features, bug fixes check out our Github release page, the blog post can be found here Download the beta here And as always, we are really looking forward to your feedback! Let us know what you think in the comments below. Looking forward hearing from you! Please note this version of Ultimaker Cura is in the beta phase and still under development. Be sure to use the latest stable release if you’re working on an important project. 

Hallo @tsnh, bedankt voor je berichten! De buis die eruit schoot heet de bowden tube, en het 'houdertje' die hem vast moet houden heet een 'collet'. De collet zou de bowden tube op zijn plek moeten houden door middel van 4 metalen randjes aan de binnenkant. Het kan zijn dat deze zijn verbogen, of soms ontbreken. In dat geval zal dit probleem voort blijven komen. Je kan de collet er even uithalen en aan de binnenkant zou je dan deze 4 metalen randjes moeten zien. Zo niet, zou je via je reseller vrij makkelijk een nieuwe kunnen krijgen. Je kan niet eindeloos zonder consequenties stukjes van de bowden tube af kunnen snijden. Als deze te kort wordt, wordt de curve strakker waardoor er meer spanning op komt te staan, zeker wanneer de print kop naar de verste hoeken moet rijken. Dit kan voor problemen zorgen in je filament flow. Het is ook erg belangrijk dat je de onderkant haaks hebt afgesneden. Als deze niet haaks is, kan er ruimte ontstaan waar, wanneer je filament wat opwarmt en zachter wordt in je bowden tube, deze die ruimte op zoekt, afkoelt en dan vast komt te zitten. Dit is handmatig elke keer vrij makkelijk weer los te krijgen, maar het onderbreekt en waarschijnlijk verpest wel elke keer je print. Mocht je onzeker zijn over je bowden tube, deze is ook vrij makkelijk bij een reseller verkrijgbaar. 1x 2cm er af snijden is nog niet direct een probleem, maar ik zou niet aanraden het vaker te doen. Succes!

Hi, of course! Please see this comment and follow the instructions! We'll get back with you shortly.

Hi, Often getting started is the most difficult part of any process. A good start sets you up for success and saves you time and energy that could be spent elsewhere. It also allows you to get more out of your product and enjoy the benefits faster. That is why we have an onboarding course ready for: Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle, Ultimaker S5, Ultimaker S3 Ultimaker 2+ Connect. They're ready for you on the Ultimaker Academy platform! Bonus tip: Entirely new to 3D printing? You may run into a lot of new terminology. Make sure you fully understand what everyone is on about and follow this course about FFF terminology!

Hi, welcome to the community and congratulations! Do you have any idea what you will be printing or what materials / properties you will be needing? With filament dryer I think you mean the material station? It has much more value than just drying your filament. It allows you to store up to 6 filaments, and it can automatically select the material that matches your print job (when it is loaded). And if material A runs out, and the same material is in B or C, it will automatically load that one. This could be quite useful, depending on if you aim to do any remote printing, if you will print mostly very large prints or just like the convenience of not having to worry about the end of a spool.

Hi @anti, thank you for your message and welcome to the community. Glad you managed to find a recovery image that worked. If you found an older img that worked, your method was probably fine. Could you share with me via DM what the instructions were you received and which img? That way I can check if you received correct instructions. I would curious to know why the instructions didn't work for you. (But happy that you found your way!) Have a great day,
