Fix your model or just use 4.3.0 ? 🙂

Thank you 🙂

The graph is of the M106 (Fan speed) values versus G0 (Z) values taken directly from the GCode. The "bounce" is actually in the code.

Hi Torgeir I agree, but it's hard coded into the Gcode.

I made a little utility which plots the fan speed versus layers from a GCode file. With the model in the picture (Bridge.png) Cura "bounces" the fan speed after the bridge completes (a bit like you might see in an underdamped system). Y axis = fan speed (%) X axis = Layer number Yellow trace = fan speed % Blue trace = averaged fan speed It doesn't appear to affect print quality but probably it shouldn't be there. Or if it should, why? (Printer UM2 with Olsson block, WIN 10) .STL attached Slice_Test_46.gcode

Could be this setting - "UM3_Network_Printing" look in Cura Marketplace \ installed tab. Uncheck the entry and see if that stops it?

Not a script, but I've written a stand alone .exe that reads the Gcode and saves it out as a text file.

Oops, so it is. My error, apologies 🙂

Daft huh? Just adds unnecessary "bloat" on start up imho. I wonder whether Burtoogle might consider adding those profiles to his very useful start-optimiser?

Ditto on both 4.5 and 4.6.1 Just as an aside - seeing as I have no need to ever print with Ultimaker ABS it would be quite useful to get rid of this entry as well as quite a few other material profiles that aren't used? Any way of doing that?

Ah! I was looking in local rather than roaming. Thank you 🙂

Excited to hear you ordered it Raymond. I hope it's as good as it sounds! Please do keep us updated with what you think of it?

Thanks Burtoogle. I'm on Win10. I've looked in appdata/local/...../cura but didn't find anything apart from cache files. To check it wasn't one of those I changed and saved my curaprofile (from within Cura) and none of the cache files timestamps changed. Hmmm... wonder if it's a registry setting...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me where CURA 4.xx recalls its startup settings from? I'm looking in particular from where it determines which profile to load on startup. I've looked in the usual places - the install Directory and as well in appdata/local/....../Cura but couldn't find anything resembling a .cfg or .ini file & have drawn a blank. Anyone?

Interesting find Raymond. I'm also keen to hear any users opinions.

Thanks Cuq 🙂 Exciting times ahead. I just hope CNC Kitchen will rightfully benefit from and as well, get the recognition he deserves from this somewhat feature rich new idea.

You are? Good. Then we can look forward to some exciting developments 🙂

Contact this chap. He's onto something very interesting 🙂

K. I found this: https://www.makers-hut.com/product/um2-ultimaker-2-aluminum-machined-slider-sliding-block-and-graphite-bushings/ Has anyone any experience of using these carbon lubricated bushings? My gut feeling is:- I like the concept of them but I'm not sure how well they're fabricated and whether the concept is at all effectve.. ?? Ideally I'd just like a set of the genuine UM2 replacements. Ultimaker used to carry spare parts but I can't find them on the website. Does Ultimaker no longer carry spares? Can anyone from Ultimaker give me a contact so I can order up the genuine parts? (Failing that I'll get the parts from the link you kindly supplied Enigma_M4)

Thanks 🙂

Looking to replace the four X/Y phosphor bronze slider bushes. Anyone have a link to these genuine parts? I have looked through the website and drew a blank. The spare parts I did find - are only those listed for the most current models. Ultimaker? Cheers, Chris

Yep! 🙂 Thanks for your reply and Marlin explanation. I guess that makes it trickier to incorporate into Cura. Hmmm... shame as having that in Cura would be ideal, not just for us UM2 "oldies" but generally as well to benefit other makes of printers possibly? 😉 I did start earlier today looking at "how to write your own plugin" thanks for the hint to the examples and in particular "post proessing plugins" I'll see how I go with it. In another post about fan speed I found "M106 S255 P0" - from what I understand, this in Gcode means "Fan 0 100%" so I think I now have my first step of what to look for and what it should be briefly modified to for a "kick" start. From what you say, I'm guessing the sequence for this "post processor" then needs to be something like - 1. Read in all the gcode 2. Search for M106. 3. Read and store that entire line 4. Replace that line with "M106 S255 P0" 5. Count 15 or so lines further on (as per your suggestion) 6. Insert stored line in there 7. Write out the amended gcode to a new file. I think the programming language is "python like" or actually Python. Not something I have a lot of knowledge of. So it's going to be a bit up hill. But I'm up for giving it a go!

Hi, I'm printing a lot with low fan speed settings. (15%-20%) At these speeds the fans won't automatically start without been given a "nudge" Is there an easy way, say through a plugin(?) to add a 100% kick briefly to the fan to get it started and then once started revert back to 15%? If not, could I suggest this be added to Cura as a tick box? (Cura 4.1 & Ultimaker 2+ with custom fan shroud)

Thanks. Already un-ticked that box, but still they come?

How do I remove myself from the unsubscribed to weekly Ultimaker news emailings? Thanks. :-)
