[Beyond Slideblocks for umo to use um2 shafts/hotend]

ah... to much efforts - I just order the right ones :-)

Thanks!

[Beyond Slideblocks for umo to use um2 shafts/hotend]

Thank you, great work!

I will give them a try as soon I can source new bushings. Accidentially ordered 8x12x30...

... or is there enough material to fit the blocks to those bushing dimensions?

[Rotary Dual Print- Head]

Yepp... sadly... but I already started the mill / lathe :-)

[Rotary Dual Print- Head]

I found this example for a switching mechanism for a UM2 a while ago - works with the spring force of the UM2 nozzle springs to secure the position

[Cura 2.6 | Beta]

Hi!

I´m already in touch with @Nallath and shared at the corresponding GIT issue - https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/1868

:-)

Thanksfor taking care!!

[Cura 2.6 | Beta]

You're lucky guys - at my PC it crashes every time I´d like to add a new printer... or my customized printer... so no tests up to now possible...

[Rotary Dual Print- Head]

well engineered design, curiouse to see it in action.

[Rotary Dual Print- Head]

Nice design!

Reg. questions - never ask for it :-)

How are the dimensions compared with the UMO head (e.g. nozzle position), what about the additional weight and how do you secure the position in the print state?

[Cura 2.5.0 potential bug - safes .gcode-file without name]

Thanks for info!

[Cura 2.5.0 potential bug - safes .gcode-file without name]

Hi there!

@ nallath, I recognized a weired behavior when drag/drop files into cura. instead of saveing the g-code in the formt [filename].gcode it just cretes a .gcode file without name.

Any hints?

Enjoy the weekend, greetings :-)

[CURA 2.5.0 - Keyboard Shortcuts for Move/Rotate/Scale]

Hi there,

@nallath, are there any keyboard shortcuts avalable to switch between Move / Rotate / Scale so that you dont have to click the button every time?

regards!

[Beyond Slideblocks for umo to use um2 shafts/hotend]

Thanks, that helps a lot in odering the parts... will see how long it takes :-)

Maybe until the stuff arrives, this new version is also available.

Again thank you for your efforts!

[Beyond Slideblocks for umo to use um2 shafts/hotend]

Thanks for feedback!

The only thing I fear is that the 303 teeth, 606mm long closed loop belt too short to be clamped with the "beyond V4" block - which I'd like to use to change the upper/lower position of the xy-rods to be able to use something like a "UM3-style" head without interfering...

[Beyond Slideblocks for umo to use um2 shafts/hotend]

Hi! Thanks for sharing...

Right now ordering the stuff to port my UMO to GT2 belts with an UM2 head setup and corresponding (longer) shafts, so just want to make sure that I order the correct belts. Are 606mm GT2 are ok or do I need 610mm...?

[Filament waste---what to do with it?]

I - more or less - scratchbuilt this one: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:281792

or with more information, here: https://rigid.ink/blogs/news/how-to-join-or-fuse-filament-together

[Filament waste---what to do with it?]

:-)

just make the two ends burn/melt and push them together, but not too firm as the melted surface is pushed aside and the hard filement ends stick together without bonding...

then trimm the welded area to 2,8xmm with a sharp knife. normally it holds well enough to be used in the bowden...

[Filament waste---what to do with it?]

I built a joiner by myself-there are some nice examples out there e.g. On thingiverse. Low cost and make the job, but honestly, use it seldom as the lighter method is also fine...

[SelectExtruder Plugin in Cura 2.5 Beta 2]

DaHai8, you're THE man - as always :-) Thank you very much, I will give it a try tomorrow afternoon (when my wifey is outa home :-) )

@ Zerspaner_Gerd, unfortunately yes as there is no option in a dual setup to heat only the one required nozzle and not both. only workaround is to use a single setup for single prints and there is no nozzle selection possible... so thanks to DaHai8's magic there is again the possibility to select the nozzle on a single nozzle print without manual tweaking.

[SelectExtruder Plugin in Cura 2.5 Beta 2]

Sure, I'd be happy to. Looks like its on GitHub: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dim3nsioneer/Cura-Plugins/legacy/SelectExtruder.py

If that's not the right one, let me know.

I'll start hacking away at it...

 

Yes, that´s the correct one.

Awsome that you jump in :-)

[SelectExtruder Plugin in Cura 2.5 Beta 2]

I also second this request :-)

Unfortunately it's an 15.x plugin...

On the short run you could just manually insert a T1 in the header of the gcode, but to make this plugin working again would be great...

@DaHai8, is there any chance that you could assist?

[Richtige Vorgehensweise beim Tausch der Wellen(Linear Shaft & Print Head Shaft), Vorschläge?]

Hallo DirkT,

sag bescheid, wie die Qualität der gelieferten Wellen ist - bin auch am Überlegen, ob ich meine am UMO tausche.

[Beta testing Cura 2.5 | Closed.]

Group the objects. Intersections in the group are ignored.

 

I meant "automatic" nesting - just mark the parts, click "nesting" and they arrange at the smallest possible area - like similar functions in 2D milling/cutting...

maybe something based on @chrisSalzburg 's orientation plugin...?

[Beta testing Cura 2.5 | Closed.]

... so no "nesting" option soon :-)

But this might be a possibility for a "nesting" plugin - ehh...?

[Beta testing Cura 2.5 | Closed.]

Thanks....!!!! :-)

[Beta testing Cura 2.5 | Closed.]

Guys, where are the material cost and weight settings been saved? n

I know, not in the .fdm_material-files, but where else?

I´s a bit annoying typing prices for the same material sets in at two PC's... :-(

Any hint?
