  1. Well, that wasn't simple at all.

    I cut pieces of flex long enough to be inserted into the bowden and then inserted the standard PLA into the feeder's wheels. That was enough for approximately 1/2 hours of printing, then a new piece of flex had to be inserted. The whole print took almost 7 hours...

    Other than that, everything was default - 220C, 40C bed, 0.2mm layers, 30mm/sec, 103% flow.

    The surface finish was perfect, the customer was ecstatic, and that what's really matter.

  2. Hey Ian!

    Wie gehts mate? It's good to see you around!

    Hi.

    Its lovely to see you here :)

    How are you also doing ?

    Im doing fine thanks. Became a daddy this year :)a beautiful little girl :)

    Im a very proud daddy and husband..

    And my work is now creating fantastic medical products using 3d print technology.

    Which I love because I see men and women and kids running and walking better because of my work :)

    Best wishes and have a lovely day.

    Ian :)

    Hey mate!

    Sorry for the delay, was sooo overloaded with all kinds of crap.

    But, among the rest, I also do something similar to what you are doing:

    We joined the e-nable movement and also print hands as giveaway for the kids and adults who need them.

    I'm very excited, as it is my first hand ever made. Hope, the kid who asked for Spiderman colors will love it.

    Other than that, I will visit Berlin in November, to catch a bit of Christmas markets and to rest a bit, as the kids, you know, can be really annoying. :-)

    Happy printing!

  3. So, after oiling the bowden, the small to medium sized prints come out very good on my UM2 with Robert's feeder.

    However, the larger ones, that can take 6-8 hours are impossible yet. The Ninjaflex filament eventually slips away from the feeder gears and ruins the print.

    I use the recommended settings:

    220C

    40-50C bed

    30 mm/s

    no retractions

    2mm layers

    103% flow

    And, of course, the Snap On Guide is on the feeder but eventually, it is not enough.

    Any ideas how to make it more reliable?

  4. OK, I feel better with myself now:

    In that case I am more than 90% sure that you have added an Ultimaker 2+ to Cura, instead of an Ultimaker 2. Do you have a nozzle dropdown in the sidebar?

    I stick to the remaining 10% :-) There are nozzles dropdown, but without the possibility to add custom sizes.

    Will try to re-install that version of Cura again.

    Thanks for the help!

  5.  

    How do I set custom nozzle size (0.15mm) in Cura 2.7?

     

    In Machine Settings.

     

    I humbly admit that after spending some time and looking everything under the "Machine Settings" and everywhere else, I could not find where the new nozzle size can be defined.

    I have UM2 and do not know json. :-(

  6. How are the loading times on the rest of the site compared to the forums

    As usual since the "upgrade" of the forum - I normally open simultaneously one after another several tabs in Chrome - four or five, starting with this forum. The I read all of them, except the forum which just finishes loading by the time I browsed quickly thru the rest of the sites.

    That's why I rarely go here and did not visit Youmagine for ages.

  7. Have you checked ApolloX?

    Yes. I had a chat with Formfutura representative (who was not really helpful beside citing the specs docs).

    I went for TitanX as it has much greater impact strength (58KJ/m2 vs. 18KJ/m2 of ApolloX) and is almost as strong in tensile one (43.6 MPa vs. 47.5MPa of ApolloX).

    Overall, I like this stuff. It is easy to print, nice surface finish, good layer adhesion, has some typical ABS odor, albeit much less than classical ABS.
