  1. In the mean while I printed a second one with 3mm filament, went good as well. It's another design, rounder and higher, bigger, but the printing lasted just as long as #1, I guess there is less material in this design. This is natural PLA so not so beautiful color. Groet Dree
  2. It looks like the same problem I had: http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/2722-printing-big-thing-problem/ I think printing somewhat hotter was the most important change I made. Groet Dree
  3. Hi, Well.. Cura said it would be a 24 Hour print, it took 26.. It went really well with all your help en suggestions, thank you all very much. It got out beautiful without any holes at all and it’s very strong. The only test that I have to do is the same project with 3 mm filament, I’m confident that it’s no problem and after a successful breeding season and some old bird feeders I can use more. Shell thickness/bottom-Top 1 mm Layer height 0.12 mm Fill Density 20% Temperature 230 C Filament (Ultimaker shop) 2.85 mm Print speed 50 Brim only, no support. Photo one is how it come out of the printer, two is with the installed Plexiglas, lid, seeds and birds J Groet Dree
  4. I’m also very happy with the 5 cm wide white tape but then I went a few Euro’s cheaper again: So I'm back to my first white tape, still much cheaper then the blue one. Groet Dree
  5. I had the same problem with the 2.85 filament but I will do that print with that to be sure. Maybe it's a temperature thing, maybe my walls/shells are to thin or my filament to thick, maybe my nozzle is clogging with dust, for the next print I will deal with all that. I probably start the print tonight so I can report tomorrow how it went. Dree
  6. I have two types filament, from the Ultimaker store 2.85 and 3.00 mm from http://www.plastic2print.com/en/filament.html?diameter=130&material=129&___from_store=nl That black one from the picture is 3.00 mm. If I print the same project with the 2.85 filament and the same Cura settings (except the filament thickness) I get the same result. I think I try to print a little hotter next time 0.12 layer and thicker walls, for this project that makes it a 23 hour print, a while longer because Cura is not so good with predicting how long it's going to take.

  7. Ah, wall thickness.. euh.. shell thickness? These were my settings.
  8. Thanks for the reply, I will try more heat, A 1.2 mm layer height seems to me a little overkill :-) Cura says 0.25 is the maximum. Groet Dree
  9. Hello, My printing just goes fine, I only have one problem. If I want to print big things the printer does not print so well anymore, the higher, the uglier it gets. This is the result of the latest bird feeder I tried to print, I held it against the light to demonstrate, first part goes well but the higher it gets the more light comes through and it gets more fragile of course. Walls are 1.5 mm thick PLA at 210 C Layer hight 0.2 mm Infill 20% I use this All suggestions are welcome. Groet Dree
  10. Thanks for the idea, I posted a ticket with them. Dree
  11. Hi, Thanks for the reply. But I do not quit understand what you mean, I do not understand what (arduino?) to screw loose form the main board, is that the small board on top of the big one? Than after connecting to the computer and do the firmware update (with cura I guess) I have to replace.... I understand; place it back? I think the whole operation is quit scary, and I do not understand Ultimaker to let their users go through that hell since almost everybody uses Win7.... Groet Dree
  12. Hi, I build myself a Ultimaker the last couple of days but at the last moment it went wrong. If I plug my usb cable into my computer I get the warning that windows does not recognize the usb device. In the win7 device manager I see a “Unknown Device” under USB Controllers. I tried to renew the driver pointing to de drivers in the Cura map, no luck. I tried to download other and more drivers from the Arduino site… no Luck. I have a win7 64bit computer, I tried to install Cura and drivers on my other Win7 32 bit computer, same problem. Did I miss something? I read a lot of forum here and other blogs, cannot find a solution, please help. Groet Dree
