My dual extrusion Idea - Nozzle covering
drayson replied to MTG's topic in Third party products & modifications
Hi! that shouldnt be a problem. I already disassambled both cores and from your design, it seems that part 5 and 24 might be similar. I have UM2 head parts laying around too. Tried a lot but not found an suitable design up to now. I'm especially interested in your parts 7, 8, 25, 26 of the above shown assembly. I work with SolidWorks, so if possible and you're willing, it would be great if you could share the design e.g. as iges... b.r. chris aka drayson -
My dual extrusion Idea - Nozzle covering
drayson replied to MTG's topic in Third party products & modifications
I'm mechanical engineer too so that's the reason I'd like to make most things "hardware" 🙂 I have two UM3 cores with Olsson blocks laying around which I want to use for redesign the Ultimaker Original head, but there is just limited progress. In my design I thought of lifting the unused nozzle just by 0,5mm via a simple camway made of brass and with very small pitch to reduce friction. Unfortunately I have no access to a CNC mill so all parts are designed for conventional milling or handmade. Your implementation is a way better... Which design SW have you used? -
My dual extrusion Idea - Nozzle covering

Whow - great design! would be interested in more detailes as I plan (ok, since more than a year) to upgrade my dual UMO to something more reliable... Are you willing to share the design? Greetings from Austria! -
some time ago, I also thought about something like this as I went out of filament just a few layers too early... After a breif research, I found this design based on a load cell and a few electronics https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3054853 and a few other designs, which should be able to implement. BUT - its not a simple solution... On the other hand, there is something possible to use like a meter like this one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3945870 to count the consumed filament. Nevertheless, if you find a nice solution, keep us u

kene das Problem von meinem UMO... Es gibt ein paar interessante Ansätze mit einer Wägezelle und separatem Arduino bzw. auch was mit Oktoprint-Plugin... Ich bin aber wieder davon abgekommen weil zumindest bei mir sich Sichtkontrolle als ausreichend gezeigt hat... schau mal hier: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3037926

Great work! Just for interest (and as I plan to do something similar on my UMO) - where have you changed the docking position - in Cura or Marlin? Currently I have also issues to understand, how the z-switch/hight modification is done, but I guess thats another story... Any hints appreciated... 🙂
-
I that should be possible via implementing a few lines of "sound" into the cura end code... Did this also form my UMO... Look here: http://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M300.html basically you can use every monotone ringtone in RTTTL format and this converter... [ddrboxman.github.io] or check if there are some available e.g. here... http://www.picaxe.com/RTTTL-Ringtones-for-Tune-Command/

Hi! I gave it a try Tuesday afternonn but as I was in a hurry I have not checked in detail what happened - just re-installed 5.6 as 6.0 crashed cura when trying to open a SLPRT file... sorry for no more details, will try to find time this weekend and check the log file.
-
upgrade it to a real "nesting" functionality would be great - similar to e.g. laser cut SW...

@thopiekar, you got PM ?

Sorry, forgot to quote - not as easy on a smartphone ? This behavior reported by kmanstudios

can confirm - same at my installation(s)

The adapted plugin is currently on the way to the gus at Ultimaker to check and distribute it. I assume, it will be in hte toolbox as soon as it is approved by them.
-
@thopiekar, a BIG thank you for your patience and time providing this plugin! It's a pleasure to assist...

@ahoeben, Cura devs, Seems that I experienced a (at least at my machines) reproducable crash when opening already slices/stored gcode files with 3.5 Already checked the log-file but there seems no anormalies/errors listed. Any hint?
-
@thopiekar is working on it, but it might take some time...
-
Is a huge rework or just a minor mod required to make them work again? Just as a hint how long it might take to have them available again... ?
-
Hi Thomas, never mind - hope it is a bit time for fun even at this long days. if it´s ok for you, I´m happy to act as a crash test bunny ? Just attach it to a PM, should work finde... b.r. chris

Hi! any news on the update? As I´m in a bigger design project right now, it gets a bit annoying to have the names not propperly managed... b.r. chris

Quite simple... download the ShowLayer.py file and safe it into ...\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\cura\3.4\scripts start cura, open an STL, go to "Extensions" => "Post Processing" => "Modify G-Code" and then use the "Add a script" button to select the "Show Layer" postprocessor When slicing something, it automatically adds M117 lines with the corresponding layer number into your script. but I guess there is a much better description/tutorial how to use postprocessors available in this forum ?
-
There is a postprocessor available which writes Layer Numbers into the G-Code file and displays them via M117. Maybe usefull for your application / UM3 too... https://github.com/AmedeeBulle/ShowLayer/blob/master/scripts/ShowLayer.py

? @Dim3nsioneer, kannst du da was dazu sagen?

Having the same issue and I have also no solution up to now... Z-hop is a first shot in addition to combing, but my impression is that combing or "stay inside a part" is also not working propperly. ?
-
as far as I remember, with 3.4.0 it was not an issue (working a lot with SW and print currently), but unfortunately have uninstalled it recently. Anyone else to assist??
