Hi cobalt60. The Model / exported stl from sketchup is probably not water-tight. In Cura if you switch the mode to x-ray, do you see any suspicious sections? Also you could try to use the free netfabb model repair service at https://modelrepair.azurewebsites.net/ to repair your stl. But I would still suggest to fix your model in sketchup. There are many resources for sketchup and 3d printing, like: http://www.fastprotos.com/help/prepare-sketchup-files-for-3d-printing.php There are some great sketchup plugins (inspectors) that help with that. I have not resently used sketchup but maybe someone can jump in for further advise?

@ JonnyBischof, Colorfabb XT seems nice! printed at 250? Is it that strong? The part turned out very nice, looks pro! @ Chrisp, really nice press. Need to make one asap! Lego Stars Wars is rather hip at the moment, so my kids asked me to print some from thingiverse. And I did :cool: . Now tomorrow I will NEED to give it to them and I am rather sad for them to leave my office :mrgreen: ... Storm Trooper (http://www.thingiver...om/thing:170704) (0.1 Layer height), The helmet comes off. It's a 3 - piece print, rather delicate, but I think it turned out ok.: Darth Vader (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:50300) (0.2 Layer height, this also reminded me that 0.2 is fast and still good quality!): Both of them together: have a great day.

ok, I just asked and Hilmar from modio answered: "Hi Martin, Glad to hear you like Modio. We do plan to support Android, hopefully later this year. We'll let you know when. Best, Hilmar" ... later this year it is (hopefully). Martin

okay, hier meine (momentane) Wunschliste: - 3 mm, Luminous PLA, 100 m Roll - 3 mm, Ruby PLA, 100 m Roll - 3 mm, Amber PLA, 100 m Roll - 3 mm, Gold PLA, 100 m Roll - 3 mm, Black PLA, 100 m Roll - 3 mm, IMPLA, 100 m Roll (white ODER schwarz) Die Seite wird noch immer gewartet... ich finde im Shop nicht alles (ich werde dann heute Abend nochmal reinschauen und gegebenenfalls nochmal editieren). Vielen Dank Martin

@formforfunction, sieht doch nun schon sehr gut aus! :-P

merci schön. Ich werde das mal probieren und evtl. modifizieren, so dass ich es bei mir an die Wand schrauben kann. Ich habe nicht soooo viel Platz. (site immer noch down).

@Daid, Cura is the BEST! I am pretty sure that the pink unicorn is allready the standard model when you load cura for the first time! Or you can choose between the robot and the unicorn... right Daid? :cool:

Vielen Dank für die Initiative Dim3nsioneer. Ja, es ist ein grosses Interesse da... (war ein paar Tage offline)! Jetzt ist die Site "down for maintenance". Werde aber gerne heute Abend oder Morgen nochmal reinschauen und dann meine Wunschliste zusammenstellen :mrgreen: . EDIT: Eine Frage noch, betreffend Rolle vs. Spule. Wie druckt Ihr ohne Spule, also Rolle, ohne Spule. Legt Ihr das einfach auf den Boden? Oder habt Ihr euch eine Universall-Spule gebastellt, gedruckt (gethingiversed / geyoumagined)? Martin

thanks! Do you know if there is / will be an android version?

Dear All, if you are interested, I have just received an ebay notification. The Jason kit is available for pre-order again on ebay. I will be shipped around the 28th of May. http://www.ebay.com/usr/3dprinting_hk Martin

@ Gael, cool, I am interested as I plan on ordering the Jason Wu kit as soon as it's on stock again. thanks! Martin

Ist ja unglaublich, so viele Schweizer mit UM1 und UM2s! Ist schon cool! Allen viel Spass beim Drucken oder Zusammenbauen! @formforfunction, Ich hoffe es druckt schon besser? Martin

@IRobertI, I especially like the case idea and how it's been designed and executed. I am really impressed. @Didier Klein, I LOVE the octo-zorro. @fabskill, really cool! @LeoDDC, fantastic organic design, they also look rather and surprisingly friendly, no? great! I am just today back to printing as I had a reall messy teflon coupler, that caused some real bad extrusion issues. It seems to be ok now... testing, testing, printing, printing :-P. The fishbone hanger from thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:232464), which I installed in my boys bathroom, next to the nemo pictures. Also was my first print with inside support. printed with white PLA from SwissRepRap at 0.1 mm layer height. Speed was 50. Have a great day!

Guys, thank you all for your help. I just replaced the teflon piece and am in production. Looks good at the moment, time will tell.... or the first few prints.

Thank you! The tinkerine post is not there anymore... but the maekezine article is a very good read. Martin

thanks and how stupid of me. sorry. I guess was thinking allready ahead (after the upgrade...)

Hey @AaronAlai, the screen case is really nice and clean design. Looks fantastic, very nice print. Also the two color "incident" actually looks professional. :cool: Are the white bolts threaded? @Colorfabb! WANT! How cool is that...

yes, upgrade to the latest version, especially hot end. feeder can be printed afterwards. I have a very similar issue with my UM1 just at the moment. Check @ http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/5227-problems-extruding/. I am sure that on mine it's the teflon coupler. So take it out and inspect it carefully. Do not rip it out with pliers, be gentle. Hope you can resolve this soon. hte pice is rather easy to replace and rather ok with regards to price... 15€. I will test it in the coming days once the replacement arrives.

Hi JonnyBischof, thanks! I was turning crazy thinking I am the only one with this issue. I currently have an order open with UM so I will try to add 1 or 2 to the order... want one? :-P Direct drive? Which design (is this part of your UM Black Edition build, cool btw, I might borrow some ideas!)?

You learn something every day... even after more than a year of cura! I had no idea this can be done with cura out of the box, how cool! thanks illuminarti!

Oh... ok. Yeah, I see what you mean, sorry. Hmmm... I don't think so, I in try to avoid pliers on flex pieces (and in general). But I I now had to take it appart a few times but only since it's not printing anymore ... so it might be some "fight-marks" (Kampfspuren), if you know what I mean :mrgreen: . My printer was printing since over a year without issues and I did not even have a nozzle clogg or anything. The only thing was that I had loose pulley screws, missed steps (which was easy to fix). So I really have no clue where this comes from. I have created a support ticket (open since 02.05.2014), maybe UM Support knows more on the subject. I will probably just buy a new one and keep on going. If they have a solution / root cause I will update this post.

Hi Ultimakers, I wanted to share some of my latest designs / prints. I mostly design and print for my two boys which is so much fun, especially on rainy days :cool:! And as my UM1 is not working at the Moment I have some time to share stuff. This is a sword I drew and printed for my 3 year old son (pirate sword): And some detail: My own raspberry pi and pi cam octoprint case that fits to the um1 without any screws or glue or else, just snaps in place: And my project for and with my 5 year old, the JBOT (raspberry pi, Screen, glowing eyes "night light", controls etc.). On the picture the Speakers are missing: The design from within 123D Design: I hope you like it.

I did buy this Printer as a kit and built it myself, that was my goal from the begining, otherwise, no much fun, right? :mrgreen: So I am sure this is not from pliers... it's also really round, would be hard to do with pliers. The only thing I could imagine is that it all started more or less after a few prints with laywood. That maybe carved it out after it cooled and I took it out? Or maybe there is too much pressure from top so it was pressed together at the weakest Point and got scraped away? You do not happen to have one of those laying around, have you?

Short update. I could not print anymore so I decided to take it appart once more. Now, when you look at the teflon piece from the other side carefully and in broad daylight, you can actually see that in mine there is something like a carving!! How could that happen? Any of you had that before? Attached the Picture of my Hot End Isolator Coupler (adjusted the contrast a bit so you can see better): At least I think I found the issue. Thank you for your help!

I use 80gm2 also, and as fingerpuk allready said, don't fold it. Once you did it 2 or 3 times you will get the feeling. You can also while the printer is laying down the first few lines (skirt if configured) still adjust it carefully (like 1/4 or 1/2 a turn) no problem. HAPPY PRINTING!
