  1. Does nobody know how to activate the hotbed in netfabb for ultimaker ?

    I really need it for ABS printing.

    Thank you.

    Hi Fritz

    Add to you Gcode the following

    M190 S110 ; Turn HBP on and set to 110 degrees

    M140 S0 ; Turn HBP off

    Took me forever to find that when I built mine and it doesn't work in RepG 34 only RepG 26 and Printrun etc.

    Good luck

    Did you put this into the Gcode header in netfabb ?

    Thank you very much.

    I will try it

  3. Hello !

    I have the following problem :

    In quickprint with ABS the hotend starts with a temperature of 260 degrees.

    The printing starts.

    Then the temperature during printing drops to around 230 degrees.

    Then very very slowly the temperature comes back to 260 degrees.

    Hardware is ok !!!!

    I print with a hot bed.

    This is a big problem for printing with ABS because the ABS gets not hot enough during that time and the printing is unuseable.

    What is the problem ?

  4. You can already do this if you load a model and press print. If there was a gcode file with the model it will print it.

    Ok. But I often have several gcode files for the same model that I've renamed with their parameters. Is it possible to get just a simple load button, or that if you select a gcode from the main window that on load finish it pops you into the print window?

    I totally agree, Daid's suggestion works in an engineering world, but is utterly not intuitive for the rest of humanity, especially if it is not explained anywhere.

    a simple 'load gcode" button will fix this, now that Daid killed off print run from the package (which may not have been the wisest choice at this point of the development stage ).

    This would be very helpful especially for Gcode of very complex models that cannot be sliced with CURA and are sliced by an other software like netfabb.

  5. Less complex model. Or changing slicer. It's currently a hard limit of 2GB memory use under windows (Mac and Linux have higher limits) I know it sucks, but currently little I can do about it.

    Which slicer shoud I use ?

    Can I print the sliced file with CURA ?

    Because I have a hotbed for ABS printing, I have to use CURA for printing.

    CURA is the only software that can control a hotbed, or am I wrong ?

  6. Yes, there is a real solution. The usually used but wrong solution is to tighten / fix the hose somehow, but the reason for it to be driven out of the head is, that plastic forms a bubble or plug under it, directly in the head and that force pushes the hose out.

    At what temperature do you print? Too low and the material won't melt enough leading to that effect.

    The canonical solution is a different hot end, the modell V2, available since a few weeks.

    Please see http://daid.eu/blag/2012/08/31/ultimaker-a-look-at-the-v2-hotend/ for a comprehensive take on that topic.

    Hello !

    I print with 205 degrees.

    I have Hotend V2 but the hose is still coming out !!!!!!
