Hi guys I too want to find temperature settings for cura 2.5 I just upgraded to it. This was not available in 2.4 either. For PLA, I want to control head and bed temperature as right now, the bed is always set at 77 degrees and print head at 230. This is for PLA. I am struggling to find this setting. I can see the option to have the option available in custom setting but when checked, the setting does not show.

Hi guys Hope you can help. I have a UM2 and I am new here. I bought a used one and trying a few things. I have not been able to find an answer for this through search and google. My solid prints are fine and also the ones that require infill however, when I try to print anything hollow like a glass or vase, the prints are pretty stringy and dirty from from the inside but pretty good on the outside. The outer layer seems to be printing at lower speed and comes out fine, but the internet layer is a very quick run and usually tends to leave a lot of strings internally. I am not sure how to deal with this, any help would be really appreciated. Furthermore, if anyone can tell me a way where I can print hollow and not have a top layer printed, that would be great. All hollow vase or glass type prints usually print a dirty top layer which I have to remove manually after the print. If there is a way to deal with these 2 problems, that would be great. I am on cura 2.4 Thanks. Ali

Hi Neotko It is definitely the UM2 with no upgrades. IN the first instance, can you explain what the statistics mean? What does this tell you/?

Hi guys I am going to be picking up an ultimaker 2 on Saturday and I wanted to get some opinions on what to look out for. I have not used an ultimaker before and I am not sure what to look at. Can someone please give me a list of things to check / test? I asked for the amount of hours used and the seller is unsure, however they provided me with this data Machine on for: 1913:21 Printing 1001:23 1037m Can someone please make sense of this? Can someone take a picture of what this looks like on the printer and what this means? I would really appreciate all the help you can give me. Thanks. Ali

Yes, I have. Let me show you a picture

Another view http://prntscr.com/32c4m9

I can see them in the layers 1 to 6 anything above that shows nothing

And this is what I see

You can ignore the print temperature stuff as that is handled on the LCD panel on the printer and does not need Cura to tell it this.

Here you go [profile] layer_height = 0.1 wall_thickness = 0.8 retraction_enable = True solid_layer_thickness = 0.9 fill_density = 0 nozzle_size = 0.4 print_speed = 50 print_temperature = 0 print_temperature2 = 0 print_temperature3 = 0 print_temperature4 = 0 print_bed_temperature = 0 support = Touching buildplate platform_adhesion = None support_dual_extrusion = First extruder wipe_tower = False wipe_tower_volume = 15 ooze_shield = False filament_diameter = 1.75 filament_diameter2 = 1.75 filament_diameter3 = 0 filament_diameter4 = 0 filament_flow = 100.0 retraction_speed = 40.0 retraction_amount = 4.5 retraction_dual_amount = 16.5 retraction_min_travel = 1 retraction_combing = True retraction_minimal_extrusion = 0.02 retraction_hop = 0.0 bottom_thickness = 0.3 object_sink = 0.0 overlap_dual = 0.15 travel_speed = 50 bottom_layer_speed = 20 infill_speed = 0.0 inset0_speed = 0.0 insetx_speed = 0.0 cool_min_layer_time = 5 fan_enabled = True skirt_line_count = 2 skirt_gap = 3 skirt_minimal_length = 150 fan_full_height = 0.5 fan_speed = 100 fan_speed_max = 100 cool_min_feedrate = 10 cool_head_lift = False solid_top = True solid_bottom = True fill_overlap = 15 support_type = Grid support_angle = 60 support_fill_rate = 15 support_xy_distance = 0.7 support_z_distance = 0.15 spiralize = True brim_line_count = 20 raft_margin = 5 raft_line_spacing = 1.0 raft_base_thickness = 0.3 raft_base_linewidth = 0.7 raft_interface_thickness = 0.2 raft_interface_linewidth = 0.2 fix_horrible_union_all_type_a = False fix_horrible_union_all_type_b = False fix_horrible_use_open_bits = False fix_horrible_extensive_stitching = False plugin_config = (lp1 . object_center_x = -1 object_center_y = -1 [alterations] start.gcode = ;Sliced at: {day} {date} {time} ;Basic settings: Layer height: {layer_height} Walls: {wall_thickness} Fill: {fill_density} ;Print time: {print_time} ;Filament used: {filament_amount}m {filament_weight}g ;Filament cost: {filament_cost} ;M190 S{print_bed_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own bed temperature line ;M109 S{print_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own temperature line G21 ;metric values G90 ;absolute positioning M107 ;start with the fan off G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops G28 Z0 ;move Z to min endstops G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length G1 F200 E3 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again G1 F{travel_speed} ;Put printing message on LCD screen M117 Printing... end.gcode = ;End GCode M104 S0 ;extruder heater off M140 S0 ;heated bed heater off (if you have it) G91 ;relative positioning G1 E-1 F300 ;retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle, to release some of the pressure G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F{travel_speed} ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops, so the head is out of the way M84 ;steppers off G90 ;absolute positioning start2.gcode = ;Sliced at: {day} {date} {time} ;Basic settings: Layer height: {layer_height} Walls: {wall_thickness} Fill: {fill_density} ;Print time: {print_time} ;Filament used: {filament_amount}m {filament_weight}g ;Filament cost: {filament_cost} ;M190 S{print_bed_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own bed temperature line ;M104 S{print_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own temperature line ;M109 T1 S{print_temperature2} ;Uncomment to add your own temperature line ;M109 T0 S{print_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own temperature line G21 ;metric values G90 ;absolute positioning M107 ;start with the fan off G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops G28 Z0 ;move Z to min endstops G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm T1 ;Switch to the 2nd extruder G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length G1 F200 E10 ;extrude 10mm of feed stock G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again G1 F200 E-{retraction_dual_amount} T0 ;Switch to the first extruder G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length G1 F200 E10 ;extrude 10mm of feed stock G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again G1 F{travel_speed} ;Put printing message on LCD screen M117 Printing... end2.gcode = ;End GCode M104 T0 S0 ;extruder heater off M104 T1 S0 ;extruder heater off M140 S0 ;heated bed heater off (if you have it) G91 ;relative positioning G1 E-1 F300 ;retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle, to release some of the pressure G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F{travel_speed} ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops, so the head is out of the way M84 ;steppers off G90 ;absolute positioning support_start.gcode = support_end.gcode = cool_start.gcode = cool_end.gcode = replace.csv = switchextruder.gcode = ;Switch between the current extruder and the next extruder, when printing with multiple extruders.

I am using Cura for a reprap printer just so you guys know. I have configured it to the documentation received with the printer. I get good prints with everything apart from vases, cups and the like

I have tried both of those ideas. My bottom layer is set to 0.3 and have also tried 1.0, no joy. Pulling my hair out.

And another one. No bottom. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:81908
