Hi, is there any news on the bed? I would definetly buy it.. willing to spend about 160-200€.

Thanks,

[Yoda print on a 2 day old ultimaker....]

Hey Ian,

Sure!

Everything except layer height is really quite default, but I will still post the settings:

layer height 0.075mm

temperature: 215

fill: 20

travel speed: 150

print speed: 50

retraction-speed: 40

retraction-distance: 2mm

retraction-min-travel: 5mm

bottom layer speed: 20 (had some trouble with sticking sometimes, so slowed down, now it works great)

[Yoda print on a 2 day old ultimaker....]

Hey guys..

I just have to share this print with you..

At the weekend I assembled my ultimak3r, which is now my second 3d printer.

Can you believe that this thing is one of my firsts prints? (5th I guess). I am stunned by the quality.

No blobbing or strining at all. On the ears it had a bit of plastic strings, but I could remove that easily with my fingernail.

By the way ts the first time I left the printer alone, as I left the house this morning.. I expected horror scenarios like a big messy ball of plastic but found this extremely nice print... wow this really made my day ..

Hope you like it!

Cheers,

Chris

[blobbing on prints]

Ok.. this seems to be a software problem.

I used cura the first time today, and I had 0 blobbing at this square print. I will definitely stick to cura from now on, even though I had experience with slic3r and it's settings, cura's quality just blows me away..

[blobbing on prints]

Hi,

When printing I get this kind of blobbing on my prints, you can see them on the left and right sides of the picture.

I watched the printer closely and found out that this happens when the printer is moving up in z axis.. in that friction of a second when the printhead stands still, a little bit of plastic drips out of the nozzle and causes these blobbs.

Have you got any suggestion what I could do?

I am using latest slic3r and marlin firmware, here are my slic3r settings.

Thanks,

Chris
