  1. Ill continue to reply to this thread in English so everyone can read.

    (if you want, I can open a new thread in the language section especially for the Dutchies!)

     

    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 :)

     

  2. I also thought of flexible filaments, but also to combine them with hard materials.

    And something as: Drilling a nozzle to make it a bigger diameter?

    Feeder alternatives?

     

    Hacks and mod's in general?

    Looked around for a keramic hotend, but could not find one ;(

     

  3. Thanks to the people of Colorfabb (I kniw it's only the brand name, but everyone knows you like that) for the presentation and the samples! Eagerly awaiting the newly announced filament!

     

    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..

     

  4. Hi all...

    Here is my attempt.

     

    • Official Print Submission = "Submission"

    sorry, finally read the regulation :)

    WP 001097

     

    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 :p

     

     

     

     

    edit.. Glad its note a film making challenge ;)...

     

  5. NO NO NO. What a waste. If the gcode is wrong of course the printer will pause at the wrong height.

     

    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

     

  6. 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:

     

  7. 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

     

  8. I don't dare to ask, and since the comments on this new feature are sparse.... So here's my question.... will this new feature also be available on UM2? As an upgrade? In that case I'd rather wait buying. NE comments?? :mrgreen:

     

    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 :)

     

  9. Which problems do you mean? :smile: No more vibrations when the head takes a sharp turn causing "waves" on the surface? The need to re-level often? 3-point leveling instead of 4-point?

     

    Big brother is watching...

    No comment :p, other than the 3mm Z-pitch banding is gone.

    (not only because of a different pitch) but a more sturdy platform and better guidance

     

  10. Oh 3dcase you are such a tease!!!!!!

    In your profile -

    Printer(s):UM orginal, Dual Ext, HBKit !!!!!

    Are you under non-disclosure? Could you at least tell use that major components ?

    Wood drill? Sounds like the Z rods need to be changed, relocated or swapped.

    So it sounds like you are really paying for a new Z stage that has a heated bed so it might improve print quality or reduce leveling issues and almost as a side effect you get a heated bed....

    In that case, I might pay the price!

     

    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 ;)...

     

  11. 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.

     

  12. i might drop in tomorrow if you guys are open :)

    i haven't recieved my file yet either though. so i can come and pick it up.

     

    Friday is my day off, but someone will be there!

    I will send a message to my colleague to get you guys a mail with the stl asap...
