  1. when you have the selection tool active, there is a submenu on your left. The crease angle thres is a slider to set the degree angle between the triangels (hit W to see the triangles). This means that by default the slider is 0 and it selects everything, When set to 45 the selection stops at this angle and leaves the triangles alone across the 45 degree border.

  2. are you referring to the measurements of the x - y -z? (scale is still at 1.0)

    because these measurements are the 'bounding box' of your model, and not the actual length of your model. Try to rotate your model in this position so the length of the model is in the x direction and see what the size is.. It will grey out but will show if your model is scaled or not..

  3. is this the Ultimaker TPU95A filament?

    When I take a look at the material profile settings in Cura 2.3, the temp. is set to 260 and the build plate at 110, and fan speed at 0.

    Material flow 145%?? could also be the problem, pushing too much material too cold.

    Another brand could have different settings, but like neotko stated, under extrusion is mostly solved by higher temp.

  4.  

    Clockwise screws, moving bed away from nozzle. Counterclock unscrews moving bed closer to nozzle.

     

    depends on how you look at them...

    if you stand before the printer looking to the bed it feels like clockwise, but from the screw point of view, which is upside down under the bed it is counterclockwise...

    Try the cover, usually I get these hairs when there is a draft, cold air around.

  5. @yellowshark, I am using 'one at a time' a lot also. And I think it works almost the same now as 15.4, except still missing the multiple copies.

    Did you try overlapping the 'fan shadows'? You can overlap the shadow of object 1 to the thin skirt shadow of object 2.

    The gantry warning is correct, you will notice that your build volume is lower now, but it would make more sense if it showed up with object higher then the gantry, because lower objects aren't the problem.

    @gr5, I am using 2.3.1 (as in the title) with my Um2Go, and suspected it has something to do with the retraction gcode, and was hoping somebody else could check if the gcode generation is to blame (or the user..) @yellowshark, does this happen to you as well?

  6. brim is to prevent the curling up of the edges, and this depends on your model, material and settings. Sharp corners with thick walls and solid inside tend to curl up because of cooling/shrinking of the material. If your model allows it you can make circular holes near the corners, or make the corners round (fillet/chamfer) also helps.

  7. By default, under the tab' build plate adhesion' (advanced) there is a raft/brim/skirt active, depending on the chosen material.

    Playing with these makes the difference, brim line count can be reduced. In the 'view mode'->'layers' you can see what happens on the first layer when you change stuff.

  8. Did you move the bed with the knob all the way down when this happened?

    Turning of the machine lets you move the bed by hand, grab it close the rods. Can you move it manually up and down?

    When reassembling the bearings and z-nut, you could leaf the screws loose a bit, moving the assembly up and down a few times, and gradually tightening everything.
