Yesterday I discovered some new belt tensioners that I like quite a lot. Due to the design the won't wear over time. Has been working great for me so far... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17058 I have another question now, though. What is causing infill not reaching the perimeter line? That is a new issue for me I haven't had before... belts (long & timing belts) are super tight, so that cannot be it. researching here on the forums has only brought up two possible reasons: - pulleys slipping (I'll look into that) - motors skipping steps (not sure it's really advisable to change pot is?) the weird thing is that it does not reach the perimeters in a very consistent way. I would imagine that something like slippage would create a more random print? thanks for your help!

hi everyone I'm fairly new to the ultimaker (had it for about one month). there have been some ups and downs (things you've probably encountered on your way as well), but I'm now pretty happy with my ultimaker. I noticed that there are some things that are easily changed and that make a huge difference in printing quality... and for a newbie these things might not be so obvious to find out. so: what I'd like to do in this thread is listing upgrades I (and you fellow ultimakers) regard as essential (including with thingiverse link if it applies). please add your suggestions below, I'll add them in here... SOFTWARE: - I found using cura to work best for my printing needs. - maybe we could add specific profiles or settings? UPDATE: cura does almost not work with thin objects. kisslicer worked better in that case. HARDWARE: - the new hot end V2 (!). I recieved it today and it works perfect ( https://shop.ultimaker.com/en/parts-and ... grade.html ) - bertho's feeder upgrade. works phenomenally for me ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26094 ) - fan shroud: I like this design quite a lot: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29431 - belt tighteners: I'm using these one right now, maybe there are better ones? ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:19818 ) I found new belt tighteners that won't wear themselves over time: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17058 thank you for all your recommendations! yves
