Thanks guys,
You answered my questions !

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to increase the E motor current further 1300 mA to get more torque on the E motor ?
What's the maximum you must not exceed ?
Thanks

Hi Daid !
For me, 14.12.1 solved my issues apparently. I've just upadated and made 3 prints > nothing to report so far.

I've tried to do a normal print > bug at 160°C
Then i tried Maintenance > advanced > heat up nozzle > bug
Then i tried the move material > bug also.
I've only tried to update once. Because we print a lot and honestly i was relieved when everything went back to normal with 14.09.
Do you think i can make another try safely ? Could it be the update of the firmware that went wrong somehow although it said everything was fine ?

Thanks a lot for sharing, Daid. It's really good to know what's happening behind the scene !

Hi everyone,
I've tried upgrading to cura 14.12 with the new firmware. Then everytime my nozzle heat reach 160°C i get this error :
Downgrading to 14.09 > everything returns to normal.
Any idea what may cause this ? As there is upgrades concerning temperature management in the firmware, maybe this is an issue ?
Best,
3DMM

Ok Thanks a lot Daid !

Hi pm_dude !
I've tried without top and bottom infill still 48 min time difference so my guess is top & bottom infill are not the problem... :(

Hi Daid !
I was wondering if anyone has noticed the huge changes in printing times when changing the shell thickness. I was wondering if there was some kind of bug here. Let me explain.
I have a std 0,4mm nozzle (like most of us). So if i want to make a print with 2 perimeters i used to put 0,8mm for the shell thickness. And cura gives the printing time in my exemple : 7 hours.
Now if i set the shell thickness to 1mm (wich is more than my 2 perimeters's nozzle size) i get a 6H print. Isn't that weird or is it just me misinterpreting things?
Thanks to all the cura team for this excellent software !

Hi Everyone,
I use Cura both on My UM2 and Printrbot Simple.
Recently i tried to print this on my simple :
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:48235/
File : Battery_tray_4x6_AA.stl
And obtained this
:
The print seems to slide at some point.
I thought it was a model problem, but it has no holes (the model is water tight) and even Slic3r says it's fine :

I never had this problem, so that puzzles me. Any idea where it could come from?

Hi,
Just to complete advices, i'd like to relate another possibility.
I experimented what follow:
- I correctly made my bed levelling
- At each print, i was still away by 0.5 cm !!
I first thought i was doing something wrong. I made it 5 times and was always away from the plate by 0.5 cm !
So i decided to check my model. It was a sketchup model. It turns out i had a tube with reverted faces à 0.5 cm of the bed level. I reverted the faces, exported the STL again and made the gcode with Cura.
It turns out this was the problem and never had bed levelling problem again.
Hope that helps !

Dual flows for dual prints
in UltiMaker Cura
Posted
Hi,
Could it be possible to have 2 different flows on dual prints ?
I have 2 different extruder heads with different gears and as Marlin only manage 1 extruder flow in the (standard) firmware, i need to compensate with different flows but Cura only offer 1 flow on dual prints.
Thx
