    saving a failed print

    in UltiMaker 3D printers

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    I saw some time ago that there are some techniques to fix a missed print in the middle.

    Is there any step-by-step to do it?

    I just lost a big print with 20 hours from 30 hours.

    There was some post with a head I think but I could not find it.

    Thanks!

    Hi guys

    I got this error in cura, for the all last versions. In one laptop it is working and in my new one I`m getting this. Has anyone passed by this error? How to fix it?

    I have already reinstalled but no success....

    thanks!

    Whats a good temp to print Flex PLA with

    in UltiMaker 3D printers

    Posted

    Hi

     

    I have never tried any flex-PLA's before, so I don't have any advice on printing with flex-PLA, however if commercial work or bulk production are your intent, why not print in regular PLA, make a mold of your PLA part and then use that mold to cast dozens/hundreds of the part in flexible silicon.

    3D-printing seems to me as a less likely tool in producing bulk (it's strenghts lie in prototyping, one-off's and small production runs), espescially when increased detail usually means longer printing times and therefore lower production capacity.

    Instead, you could print in normal PLA and crank up the quality on that single print (making it longer) and making a mold, but after that initial investment in time, al you had to do is refill that mold every 45 - 60 minutes with fast curing silicon and produce dozens a day instead of 2 or 3.

    Of course, wether an object is suitable for molding depends on it's complexity, but something like a (mostly flat) phone-case should be pretty straightforward. (Also I'm ruling out moving parts since that usually doesn't work with a flexible material anyway).

     

    Hi,

    the problem is not the massive production. We want to use the 3d printer to do exclusive designs... like only you will have this.. understand? You create and we print something that no one will have.

    Hi guys,

    lots of information here!

    Thanks 3dcase and Maurice.

    1st - Maurice I`m trying a simple iphone case. I printed several times (more than 10). None of them was ok, 0.

    tried with kisslicer and cura, yesterday tried with 260 and 240 degrees and 20mm/s. Failed again. Not quitting yet!

    2nd - 3d! thanks for the full info. I`m trying the case with the white Flex PLA from form futura. This weekend i`m going to buy the thinner (maybe at gamma they have?). I`ll also try to put the same configs that you put in your print. I`m quite disappointed with this, but still trying. Other test to do is to print a different model, can also be a problem with it. This weekend I`ll try and try again. Let see!

    I`ll keep updating you guys!

    Thanks for the replies

    Filament seller suggestions

    Hi 3dcase,

    and how is the quality?

    I bought from formfutura and I`m not so happy, bought from reprapworld and not so happy also!.

    That cellphone case that you printed in flex pla... from where did you buy the filament?

    Thanks!

    Cheap, fast delivery, good service, nice guy.....

    I`m trying with flex from FormFutura... didn`t have any piece ok until now.... it fails at 230 degrees and 110% flow and 20mm/s. Seems that the flow is not enough, I got parts of the print missing. Today I`ll try with 260 degrees but I think it will burn the filament, but let's try. Thank Anaxyd and Maurice.

    Hope that one day I can achieve 3dcase results... that case was really nice....

    Cheers!

    yep... pretty frustrating also for me.

    I tried several times, there are another problems to pass.

    Warping is a big issue and also there is the platform. Printing in the blue tape doesn`t give a nice finishing to the back.

    So if you want to do do it commercially there are lots of things to do and to bypass...

    sorry but I`m having the same problem here.

    If I have any luck I`ll let you know.

    Cheers

    While waiting for the heated bed - printing on glass

    in Third party products & modifications

    Posted

    Hi Augusto, Thanks :).

    It's Flex Pla directly on glass, cleaned with some kind of solvent (smells like thinner).

    The first one warped a little, so I used a Brim.

    Bottom layer, printed at 225° with 15mm/sec bottom speed, 0.1 layer and 110% flow to get a flat solid first layer.

    Still like to know who came up with this idea? Should be nominated for some prize or reward :-P

     

    Hey 3d,

    you forgot to tell where did you buy the solvent? Do you have the name?

    Thanks!

    That's really nice.. where did you buy this solvent? I`m trying to print with flex but my tries failed miserably... :oops:

    I`m using a glue over the ikea mirror, for PLA it is perfect... working much better than the blue tape. This guy deserves for sure a prize! I printed more than 10 pieces and it is still 100% and the pieces are smooth in the bottom. I`ll try the flex PLA today with your configs and will post back the results.

    Thanks for the tips.

    BTW nice site... it is in my favorites

    substitute for blue tape

    Hi illuminarti

    till now it is working nicely for me. Credits to my wife that asked why I couldn`t try this one.

    I`m a new user, but I was changing constantly the blue tape. After changing to this one I`m changing very few times and also removing the pieces much better.

    Thanks for you reply.

    Hi guys,

    just to let you know, I saw some threads about the use of substitute for the blue tape. I`m using the painting tape over the blue tape and I`m getting really good results. The pieces are getting a good grip on it and also I can get it loose very easily. Here is a picture of what I`m using.

    Also it can be found in any of these painting store, it is larger than blue tape and also cheaper.
