Thanks, I do not think it was a problem with slipping. The guy before me printed without a problem. I printed it 5 times. On careful examination of the printed parts the errors are repeated in exactly the same manner - ie reproducible. That's leaves the software to be blamed. The only difference between me and the previous guy's prints was that I rotated it so that it layed flat on the bottom and that I have a different step file. And no, rotation by clicking on the circles was not easy (I do not know why). Assuming the step file to be correct (as judged by the views) leaves only the created gcode to be in error. I did not find software to check the gcode for errors. Perhaps you know something that runs in windows or linux? This was my first experience with the ultimaker and not even a good one!

Hi, I created a stl file with inventor. Dimensions of the part: 40x40x8 mm. Then I drove to the Fablab in Arnhem to print it. Unfortunately the part was top heavy, so I tried to put it flat on the bed. That was nearly impossible, but I suceeded in doing so. Can you guys make a simple command to turn parts 90deg? The display of the sliced part looked good (I have no idea about the meaning of the colors). Anyway, printing was buggy from Cura ver 13 (I think it is the latest). After a few slices, the ultimaker started to transpose the design. I tried many different slice options, but printing failed always at the same moment. Is there a bug involved or is the problem somewhere else? I hope someone can answer it. Cheers, Nick
