  1. Yes exactly - the annotations of the pix are correct. Maybe I can make the 1st layer devastatingly slow like 5mm/s and pick up the stray strings.... I haven't dialled my retraction settings - i think they are stock do you know which ones I should change? as for the under extrusion.. should my get my print bed levelled closer or add 20% - 30% more flow of the filament? (or both?)
  2. Hi there im loving the concentric 1st layer on my component housing prints. Is there a way to get the printer NOT to print the apertures or support first, but to prioritise the 1st layer concentric fill-in? And finish with the perimeter and the holes and the support tree 1st layer? Its leaving strings behind which kind of upset the perfect nature of the concentric pattern. This is a cosmetic part and Id love it to be perfect. I dont want to change filament (this is recycled PLA) thanks see images https://photos.app.goo.gl/4N4tt1t2ScrveLP87 these are my retraction settings https://photos.app.goo.gl/u65m2NGtjFPYwBfe6
  3. Hi there I have a 8+ year old ultimaker 2. Im wondering how much better print quality (if at all) newer printers like Ender and Prusa are? Does anyone have first hand experience? Im looking for printing flex PLA (which mu ultimaker isnt great at) and generic prototyping prints. Is there a real leap in quality these days? or is it all much the same once you put on a 0.2mm print nozzle and print fine? thanks
  4. thank you ive gone for a fuil ohlosn block upgrade
  5. hello Ive have my ultimaker 2 for 10+ years the material is not not flowing right. Im using black PLA but have used many materials. Do I need to upgrade / change the feeder? whats the deal? PHOTOS: https://photos.app.goo.gl/A5wRgpiQ1ryhPohu5
  6. Hi - im trying to make some custom profiles for printing flex pla. But when I try to access Printing Temperature settings in CURA it says: "this setting has been hidden by the values of Auto Temperature, Enable Nozzle Temperature Control, change the values of those settings to make visible." When I search Nozzle Temp Control I find nothing. When I try to make Build Plate Temperature changeable it syas: "this setting has been hidden by the values of G code Flavor, Has heated buildplate, change the values of those settings to make visible." Where do I change these settings? thanks
  7. Has anyone bought or tried this printer? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001412815588.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.2d903c00Zt7imv&mp=1
  8. Just discovered TREE SUPPORT - awesome.- never knew it existed. QUESTION> I have a model that needs support - but at the very top of the model is a large vertically oriented 6mm threaded hole. The overhang of the profile negative thread teeth is making cura think that support is needed there. So its filling the hole up with a tree of some sort. Is there a way to stop supports after a certain height or in a certain area on a model. THANKS!
