    Looking for beta testers.

    I noticed that the plug-in folder is not present in 13.05 and 13.06.

    In 13.04 it was located in Contents --> Resources --> Cura --> resources --> plugins

    Copying the one from 13.04 to the Resources folder didn't help.

    Is there a right place to put it in, or does it need something extra?

     

    1.75 nylon instead of the 3.0

    I don't have a tube that size..

    and wanted to try it out anyway

    first test was OK

    0.2 layerheight

    speed in Cura 25mm/sec, upped to 135%

    temp: started with 245, the colors faded to brown

    lowered to 240, the blue came out better

    lowered to 236, but that part delaminated later

    upped to 240 again

    during printing you could see the filament curling up in the bowden, so once in a while I released the extruder closure to get the tension out.

    1.75 nylon instead of the 3.0

    in Coffee corner

    i tried a little easy print .....and it works......so far.......

    adjusted the filament diameter to 1.75

    layer thickness: 0.1

    temp. 245

    slow, 25 mm/sec

    the only thing I had to change was the part that pushes the filament to the bolt,

    the old part (v1) had the best pressure, the new spring part did not get far enough

    would it be possible to use the 1.75 nylon instead of the 3.0?

    The 3.0 has thicker parts, up to 3.17 mm, getting stuck into the bowden.

    (and of course always at the end of a project, destroying the whole thing)

    I tried to run it through a 2.9 mm hole, but it just flexes back, it doesn't stretch.

     

    when using a continuous design, like a vase or bracelet "joris style' with no retraction,

    would it be possible to use 1.75 mm, so just pushing.....

    would the filament drive have enough pressure to push it through?

    it might flex a bit inside the bowden, but this stuff is slippery enough to slide through, I guess...

     

    are there more settings to adjust than the filament diameter?

     

    multiple 'pause at height'

    in UltiMaker Cura

    hai Daid,

    is it possible to use more then 1 'pause at height' in a model?

    after slicing in Cura, only the first pause shows up, moving to the upper right corner,

    then to return at the height of the complete model.

    When printing: it moves to the upper right corner, adds a little height and pauses,

    when resuming: it moves up the the complete height, spits out a lot of plastic and pauses,

    resume again and it moves back to the model, again extruding a lot of plastic and continues.

    The other pause is neglected....

    Post your latest print!

    DSC07699.thumb.jpg.3efa366c0dd4ceb946c86fa4924734bd.jpgI have a lot of the same experiences, the clogging of the nozzle, flexibility, temp.

    before I start I clean the nozzle with a acupuncture needle, thin enough pierce through the lump in the opening to get the material to flow.

    the material is more flexible than pla, I had to adjust the screw of the filament feeder (v1) a lot more, the failure on the photo was because it did not have the right tension. Hopefully that will be solved with extruder drive v2....

    the second failure became loose from the tape..

    it is very nice that the layers almost disappear, compared to the same settings with pla, see photo

    I presume oiling all the rods occasionally can't hurt - what about the bearings at each end of the rods?

    Ultimaker (Erik) told me that for the new Ultimakers (2012) it is not neccesary to oil the rods, it could even get worse...

    The bronze bushings don't need oiling. Just keep them dry and clean, oil could just gather dust

    Crazy print..

    @italinanmaxx:

    it is not necessary to power the motors of, just 'force' it, the guys from Ultimaker do it also like this...

    @thereza: trial and error, like you lost your material settings...

    there are a lot of mistakes lying around and it is hard to know afterwards what belongs to what, and it is stupid to save settings that don't work.

    All the silver is printed with duplicates of the standard style (with the standard material).

    Go to the style tab and select 'manage build styles' at the bottom.

    pick one from the list of build styles, and it asks you to make a duplicate (and rename it)

    i didn't change anything in the first frame,

    select 'region definitions' and select the normal (there is only one in the first place)

    than you can select outer-inner1-filling-upskin-downskin-suppoert to make your changes in the profile

    to deselect: layer type: and set it to 'disabled'

    the graphic shows you what is going to happen: disable filling and the green crosshatch disappears...

    I hope your nozzle is OK now?
