    Pressure Issue on Extruder - Bowden Tube Moving

    in UltiMaker 3D printers

    Posted

    I was having issues with my prints, it seemed that the material pressure against the extruder would decrease a few minutes into the print. I have always has issues with the bowden tube not seating correctly since I bought my printer in June.

    This only way I can keep the tube from moving is replace the c clip with another part .100 thick. The tube doesn't move now. My prints are fine. What does this mean? Do I need a new part? Will I damage the nylon tube underneath?

    I just bought simplify3d because of the support feature design. I am having a big issue with it getting to print a good first layer. It seems that the extruder is not getting primed properly. Would anyone care to share their settings they are using with this software? UM2 I would sure appreciate it!!

     

    Filament grinding and not feeding!!

    in UltiMaker 3D printers

    I finally got the filament out. Not sure what happened but I believe that it may have been possible that the filament was somewhat melted to the inside of the bowden tube when it went to remove the material. It was really hard to get out of there! On the plus side I had to take off the cover to the feeder so now I know how that works inside :)

    Where should my tension be set? Should I always just listen for the clicking noise??

     

    Gcode Question

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted

    I have been printing with my printer for a couple weeks now. I believe I have been generating my gcode files the same. My last print I had three models that I wanted to print all together. I put them all into cura and generated my gcode file. When the printer ran the program it finished printing one object before it moved onto the next one. That hasn't happened to me before, usually it prints all objects together by a layer at a time. What did I do differently??

     

    Removing support from prints

    in Improve your 3D prints

    I was just wondering how people remove their support structure from there prints. I am using cura and mesh mixer. Mesh mixer supports are pretty straight forward but cura is really annoying!! I've wrecked quite a few of my prints trying to get them off. I must be doing something wrong.

    Can someone tell me why this is happening!! My filament is grinding in the feeder and not feeding. First time it happened because I think the pla got hung up on the spool. I had no problem fixing it by using the change material function. I did have to pull on it a little so that the feeder was able to get to the high spot. But now it's stuck and have to pull on it with a lot of force to try to get it out. I didn't want to damage anything, is there some sort of tension setting that I am missing??

    Small /med objects mainly, Possibly will need human scans. I am looking at purchasing the Sense Scanner....Seems like it might be a good one for me to start with.

    I am looking to buy at buying an UM2 and the work that I want to do with it requires me to scan objects. Does anyone have any recommendations that they could provide regarding experiences with scanners they have used with this system and software?
