Hi Bob, perhaps you found it somewhere else, but you can change the startup g-code at the script tab. Make sure to take the first process, in the 4th line the E value is extruded length. The annoyingly slow speed to the startposition is in the 2nd line the F value. Although... on a UM2 it might be different :roll:

Hi Martijn, you might see aaron in NewYork. Please remember to talk him into organizing a next MPC!!! A couple of post earlier he more a less resigned :eek:

Ho ho aaron, I'm bad with regulations :eek: , but mine was official :-P . Perhaps this challenge was a little hard, even to get the big size rolling? I Could not match-up with the small size of Sander's submission though, Perhaps because of some Ice-bucket challenge . So I think the winner is Sander, ( if he did not use the R&D department? ). It's a shame it's the last one :(. but thanks for starting it!!!!. Although I do hope you come up with another one!

Time to get yourself some reading glasses Ian?

Perhaps I don't understand your question. But I am 99,9% sure, that a professional CAD system like Solidworks, gives you a choice or options on how to calculate your STL

Ha Die sander, dat gaat rap!!! kunnen we eindelijk de praat praten die we praten willen .

Hi Sander, Would be a good idea i guess!! Like french german and italian on the mainpage. I spoke and read people who buy a Ultimaker because it's a dutch product, And wonder why they have to learn English. For most Young and/or technical people no problem, but still people around who rather write in Dutch. Would not hurt to give it a try, IMHO. Your busy enough I guess, so I volunteer as moderator if one is needed

Hacks and mod's in general? Looked around for a keramic hotend, but could not find one ;(

Same thing overhere :(

Thanks for the stone blizz! will send a picture tomorrow when its fitted . For next time people should where a button with there forum names on it !!! Would be nice to get some faces with the names Missed the colorfabb presentation, but I hope they are working on aluminium or even better stainless steel Fill!! would be awesome..

Hi all... Here is my attempt. Official Print Submission = "Submission" sorry, finally read the regulation The smallest working one is 20mm.It took a few prints but this one finally works. I've used the standard stl, I personally think it's a printing challenge and no engineering or redesigning challenge. And used a standard 0.4 nozzle. Might give it try with a 0.2 nozzle though... But that wouldnt be fair for the UM2 printers edit.. Glad its note a film making challenge ...

oeps.. thought it could be possible cura handled Sd files differently than streaming USB files :mrgreen: . This gcode i made on a laptop, win7. on a older desktop running vista, same thing. screenshot from cura, you have to believe me, that i saw the white calculating bar move, when changing the height value. after saving, the gcode looks like the other picture... update: it looks to me, (in my greasemonkey's words) that some cura settings are remembered in a tempfile somewhere or in memory? or something is adjusted in the gcode endfiles.. A few prints later, after printing the software seems to think the 190 190 coordinates are the homing position, at least it stops there. visually on cura screen, I checked the plug in field is empty I see if I can get it to that again, and when

From the sd card I tried printing, that went wrong so I looked at the gcode. I can give it a try to print by USB cable and see what happens. I would like running it from sd card though, 1 print I can pause by hand, but I have to do 30. :shock:

Mijn printer, tsja... Zonder uitdrukkelijke toestemming van de Hr. Sander v.G. te T. :???:mag ie nog niet int openbaar denk ik. en daarbij, printers genoeg in Utrech' lijkt me. Ook benieuwd naar de gezichten er voor, of erachter

Goedemorgen... Planning to leave around 18.00 from tilburg, Nog 3 plaatsen over in de auto, dus als er potentieele carpoolers zijn? Groeten Kees.

Goodmorning... can someone help me out on the Pause at height plugin that comes with cura 14.07? The only height I can get it working is the standard/default height of 5.0 mm. No matter what I tried, it only inserts the pause code around height 5. If I set the height at 3mm, cura starts recalculating, but keeps writing the 'Custom' marked code at around 5. I tried saving the profile with the 3.2mm height I want it to pause. Reload it and the Height is 5 again. So cura (imho) forgets to look at the plug in. Who knows what to do,try ore where to find a alternative. Regards Kees

would be nice to get the forum working again with IE11.

Don't tell anyone.. ssstt..

Hi, the feature will be new for the UM-original, for the UM2 its standard since the release. So no need to wait buying a UM2

Big brother is watching... No comment , other than the 3mm Z-pitch banding is gone. (not only because of a different pitch) but a more sturdy platform and better guidance

Haha, took a while for someone to notice that HBKit..... :-P Did not sign any non-disclosure as far as I remember... Just common sense to keep my mouth shut about the details I guess. Would not mind to do some more beta testing..... But euhmm. main components... most important; glass, a few clips to keep the it in place and a lot of aluminium. But no Z-stage rods.... As said above it's worth the waiting ...

I guess it's a pretty smart idea to use a flexible shaft (like the one driving your speed and tacho gauge on a motorbike), to keep the steppermotor stationary and away from the printhead to reduce the mass. When supplied with the gears and bearings and printable printhead. It's worth the try .

Don't tell anyone.... :???:. But I hope I'm allowed to tell its worth waiting for another month... No idea about the final pricing. But its well engineered!! 2.5 to 3 hours building time. No special tools (wood-drill included :cool:), no soldering and resistors needed. Install the (bugfree) firmware, and startprinting. And old UM1 Z-stage problems are gone.

In my setup, laptop+win7+cura14.07, panning is Shift and right mouse button.. Wanted to quout, but last weeks update to IE11 stole the Quote option on this forum :???:

Woohw Aaron! its spinning! Did you use the original file? or some tinkering in Cad? I'm only down to 30mm with the standard file :(......
