  1. Hi MakingZone,

    I just made some chances to the firmware and made a pull-request on github to make the chances in the original firmware.

    I made the preheat PLA and ABS option with a sub-menu with an option to preheat extruder 1 or to preheat extruder 2.

    For the cooldown i fixed the problem that only extruder 1 cools down. Now everything cool down (extruder 1, 2 and the heatbed) (heatbed cooldown was not working as well)

    Hope it will be added to the original firmware soon so that you can have the fun of the options as well.

    Hi Arne Durr

    Do you have an idea, if this mods have been implemented in Erik´s fork?

     

  2. I've only started with the top hinge yet. My approach is very simple: Integrate the hinge into the cover for the linear shaft. I just made that cover a little bit longer and added a hinge to it.

    But maybe we should make another thread for that :)

     

    Top hinge is a good idea as it is much more simple than side hinges.

    To start a seperate thread is a good idea as we can focus on the topic and not hijacking this thread :-)

     

  3. Hi Daid,

    here are my findings from testing RC3 at my home notebook:

    - Slicing worked,

    - when switching to overhang view I get the message "lack of OpgnGL shader..."

    - when switching to layer view, cura is not responding and when closing, windows is displaying an error message that phytonw.exe is not responding. Details of the message as following:

  4. Daid.... now I´m completely confused...

    Opened Cura, cleared platform and re-loaded the default UM robot from the example folder in the program directory. (Don´t know why comming to this idea...)

    Interesting point: NOW it slices after loading a model

    I played a bit around with my path structure where the stl´s are stored. Could this affect the slicing engine??

    not slicing with this path:

    C:\Users\xxxxx\Downloads\Privat\§DPring\bridge-torture-test-25mm.stl

    slicing with this path:

    C:\Users\xxxxx\Downloads\bridge-torture-test-25mm.stl

    C:\Users\xxxxx\Downloads\Privat\3DPring\bridge-torture-test-25mm.stl

    I never had issues with the path naming in the previouse versions...

    So maybe there is the root cause for my office-notebook-issue identified...

    Next, testing at home at afternoon...

     

  5. Hi Jeremy,

    great to hear that you choose an UM. Which one? the UM1 or UM2?

    Basically it is very easy. There should be some kind of flowchart somewhere in this forum (if I remember correctly...)

    You downloaded or modeled a part (STL-file), then just load it into cura and it automatically starts slicing. For beginning, I would suggest to use the quickprint setting first so you get a first wow-effect :-)

    Regarding guides, you will find a lot of information and advices here in the forum.

    For resources, I can suggest thingiverse as it has a loooooooot stuff in there, but it´s Makerbot-driven and the conditions for publish things are a bit "strange"...

    Youmagine is the Ultimaker-related source, with a lot better publishing rules and really open source.

    I hope I catched the things you´re interested in but I guess there will be a few more giving their input... :-)

     

  6. Servus zurück, Hi and Welcome!!

    I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with the UM1 :-)

    The guys here in the forum are great and if you meed support or have things to discuss, there will be someone contribute...

  7. @ Daid, sorry for bring up my issues extensively, but as you asked for bugs - I don´t know if it is something which could happen to more users....

    Here is tha Output.txt from my office notebook:

  8. @ home I had a bit more success than in office - slicing seems to be woring

    BUT:

    When going to layer view the following message pops up:

    An error has occurred during the 3D view drawing.

    WindowsError: 'exception: access violation reading 0x00000000'

    @ wrapper.py:wrapperCall:763

    @ engineResultView.py:OnDraw:142

    @ sceneView.py:OnPaint:1034

    @ openglGui.py:_OnGuiPaint:227

    When switching to overhang view the following message appears:

    Overhang view not working due lack of OpenGL shaders support

    The output.txt at my home pc looks like this: (sorry for long post...)

    Exception in thread Thread-6 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown):

    The output from my office notebook I will post tomorrow. Maybe helpfull, hopefully usefull for finding the issues...

     

  9. Hmmm... restarted my notebook, re-installed the 4th time, no effect...

    It slices the first time after new installation, then no more...

    So I have to precice my first post - it NEVER slices again after the first start, nevertheless if I restart Cura or not, move the object or not or change parameters or not...

    I´m working with Cura since 13.04 and I had never such troubles on this notebook before.

    I will try at my home pc tonight too..
