  1. @ultiarjan has a good point with 2nd hand machines. If you want to buy it from a more official point, look out for refurbished printers. In Europe, some distributors offer this and FBRC8 in the US does it as well.

    Why would you not buy an Ultimaker 2+ even when in a year or two a successor would come out? If the printer offers what you need, then it's a good deal. If it doesn't you should also not buy it later. Does that make sense for you?

  2. Until you get the official answer, I can tell you that 150mm/s is indeed the correct travel speed for the S5. The reason for the lower value (compared to e.g. an Ultimaker 3) is the heavier print head. As the product aims at professional customers, Ultimaker has decided to give safe values the priority over speed.

  3. The reason is simple: lack of time. TweakAtZ was maintained for quite some time by community members (including me) before the Cura team took it over. However, I think there are more pressing things to be changed in Cura than expanding the functionality of the ChangeAtZ script as it is called now.

    Good news is that Cura and therefore this script too is open source and anyone can make changes and issue a pull request on Github. So please feel free to contribute such a code. But please be aware the script is experimental and does not work well on some Ultimaker printers.

  4. S3D überschreibt die Einstellungen im UM2+. Das bedeutet, Du kannst entweder im Material-Menu am UM2+ die Plattentemperatur für Dein Druckmaterial verändern oder aber Du stellst in den Maschinen-Einstellungen in Cura Deinen UM2+ auf "Marlin" GCODE Flavor um. Dann hast Du u.a. die Temperaturangaben auch in Cura und kannst dort die Änderungen vornehmen.

    I'm getting the same error "Failed to verify firmware update.". Tried both via Internet and USB.

    Currently on 5.2.8.20190320 attempting to update to 5.2.11.20190503

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Please just read the posts above. They answer your question.

    I have a related question about ironing. Does ironing apply to the top layer of support? Is there a simple way to apply ironing only to support? 

     

    Not directly but if you design your own support as an object you can load that into Cura, assign it to the extruder with the support material and then enable ironing for that extruder. Of course you will have to disable support in Cura.

  7. You wait forever until a single layer of PVA dissolves below a flat surface. I tried it once with a small area and waited more than a day although the water in the box was in motion. If you do it, put the glass in the freezer first, take the print away and then dissolve it. Having said this, you can also put the glass into the freezer with the Tough PLA printed directly on it. 😉

    No it won't. As we have learned rolling back is not always easy, users may install it not knowing it is a testing version, or worst case scenario.. what if it would actually break something. We wouldn't want to risk that.  

     

    Then testing versions are generally unlikely to happen in future?

  9. Although you consider the possibilty of your error 18 not to be related to the firmware upgrade as small I think that indeed they just accidentally popped up around the same time.

    Please check the forum here for error 18 related topics. Unfortunately, I do not have a link at hand right now. Re-mounting the print head cable on the print head solves the promlen in almost every case.
