It's slightly disappointing that the don't-go-to-latest-post bug is still not removed. It's quite annoying to e.g. land on top of page 52 of this thread all the time. @SandervG, can you please make sure this bug moves to somewhere at the top of the priority list? We have it now for half a year. I think this is a very long time for an unsolved annoying bug.

Or right mouse button click...

When I hover with the mouse over the share spot, it disappears! (Win10/Firefox 49.0.1)

Du musst ein zusätzliches Maschinenprofil erstellen; siehe hier. Ich weiss aber nicht, ob das Profil von @zerspaner_gerd noch mit 2.3.0 funktioniert.

Reboot ist immer gut... ich würde mal den PC neustarten. Wenn das nicht hilft, dann den Ordner C:\Benutzer\DeinBenutzerName\AppData\Local\cura löschen. Also besser natürlich einfach umbenennen... z.B. in curaalt o.ä.

One fact does. It works.

The more I was surprised how well PVA behaves on Nylon...

@Daid, good to have you back here! This makes the forum a bit more traditional Ultimaker-like again... And thank you for the nice write-up!

You can use any material brand on the UM3, the NFC tag is not required. You have to do a manual material selection on the printer. This selection does not determine the print temperature as with the UM2(+). It determines the material loading temperature, so just select something reasonable. To demonstrate the open material design, I uploaded the Swiss Ultibot print, made with Diamond Age PLA which was not even on spools. In my very personal opinion, having open hardware and software would also mean to me opening the NFC design and format to anyone. I think, Ultimaker would still make good money with their cores when this design is open too as many company need the reliability and the optimal printing parameters for Ultimaker material for their 24/7 applications. We will know in six months how Ultimaker decided. But believe me, they take the open source thing very serious; their company is built on that. To answer the last question: I'm even keeping my old UMO! The UM2 is still a very good printer. If an UM2 does still have the old all-in-one-block, I would recommend to replace it with an Olsson Block. Or upgrade it to an UM2+ with the Extrusion upgrade kit (yes, I still consider those good investments in a nice machine). The UM2 is still my work horse; most prints do not need dual extrusion.

I imagine all UMO(+) users must be smiling at this upgrade kit discussion...

About bed adhesion: I tested PLA, CPE, ABS and Nylon on the UM3 and they all stuck pretty well with white glue solution to the bed. Adhesion was actually so good I had to put the glass into the freezer.

The nozzles are kind of fixed. They might leak after being exchanged. But you can print PLA right after Nylon without problems. Anyway, someone from the community will figure something out...

[print=4137][/print] One of my latest prints: a Swiss Ultibot made on the Ultimaker 3.

i can only second that.. been testing the Um3 for a while now and i run a 24/7 operation based on UM2s.. the Um3 is a different beast altogether, it's not better or worse then the Um2, it's different... and I love the new machine! I can only agree. Being a tester as well, I was rather sceptical at the beginning concerning the cores. Mainly, because the heater block was significantly reduced in size and material. But they are just great; the temperature is stable and the print quality is just great.

The UM3 might look similar to the UM2+, but it's a completely different machine. An upgrade would make not much sense as it would cost about the price of an UM2+, I think.

Elles se ressemble par la méchanique, oui, mais elles sont très differentes... l'UM3 a beaucoup plus d'éléctronique que l'UM2+. Donc, l'UM3 n'est pas une UM2++...

Best thing you can do is to ask directly the distributor of your region. But I agree with @neotko that UMO parts are going to be more and more difficult to get with time.

Two bugs: When I jump into a category like 'Tipps and Tricks' and then want to move to the next page, I fall back on my overview page where I have the topics from all the categories. When I have read all the notifications, they are gone in the pulldown menu on top. However, when I get new notifications, the old ones reappear as well. I have to go back in the browser history to a point where not all notifications have been read in order to be able to delete them.

Moving the water helps. Warming up the water helps too. The exact time depends on the geometry. I would say something between an hour and an eternity... I did some tests about two years ago and it was desolved during a night.

A price drop makes only sense if a new model replaces an older one. If this is the case, you will have to see on Tuesday...

The best way to wait for the new Ultimaker is to print something with your own Ultimaker...

Will those print designs be available at some point? I really like that vase...

Dual extrusion might be a bit like unlimited computer power: It lets you forget how to do things in the best way with limited ressources because you can just do it the easy way with using much more ressources. But that doesn't mean you can't achieve extraordinary results with limited ressources. History of science is full of examples.

Well, keep the good things and replace the bad ones...
