    Depending on what material you plan to print with, you may want a door (I recommend it for ABS or anything with a high bed temperature or shrinkage rate). There's an official one in the advanced printing kit, or a lot of DIY design options available on YouMagine, depending on what tools you have.

    If your motors sound like they're trying to move, but the printhead isn't going anywhere, I'd double check that your pulleys are all tight on the motors and the rods.

    What model printer do you have? TPU95A is compatible with the Ultimaker 3 and Ultimaker 2+ series. Semi-flex materials like that work fairly well.

    Welcome! Pictures of the electronics board, please? Do the motors make a noise as if they're trying to move and failing, or does it not sound like they're trying to move at all?

    Glad to hear it!

    Hi, gardnert, that definitely doesn't look good. Since you're in the US, reach out to our team at Support@fbrc8.com.

    I always like to try and find really beautiful models on Thingiverse that don't have any Makes to them. This one fit the bill! FP-Creator posted the model over a year ago, but it didn't have any makes when I found it last week, so I resolved to fix that. Edit: I printed 2, one in space marine and 1 in Mercury red. And illuminarti designed a custom stand for them which I printed in gold PLA. The print took 21 hours with .1 layer height, printed at 100% of the file size. A video of the print from every angle is on Facebook here:

    Clear nylon works really nicely--I'd pick that over ABS. It doesn't burn the way ABS does.

    I'm glad it's working again!

    Electric tea lights are great for lighting up prints. Yeah, I should plan for that a bit more LOL.....It was a complete accident that they fit just right. The port nacelle dome is a bit shallow for the full tealight, but it does open up possibilities. I've printed a few different models that use electric tea lights. I like them. Admittedly, I also ended up ordering more tealights than I was expecting. I thought I'd ordered a 12 pack, but it ended up being a 24 pack at the same price. Win!

    If you're not going to do anything with the BB Core for a while, I do recommend pushing PLA through it or doing an Atomic Method to clear it before you set it aside. PVA left in the nozzle tip will degrade over time, which is why when the Cores are tested before leaving the factory, they're tested with PLA.

    Thanks, Ultiarjan, The3DPrintStudio. skrotzkn, go ahead and try the adjustment if you feel comfortable doing so. Otherwise, it's a pretty quick and easy process to replace camera, and it can arranged if you email our team at Support@fbrc8.com.

    That looks great! I really like PC. It's my favorite of the engineering materials. I find if I print it without fans, I don't see any warping.

    Looks great!

    Glad you're back to printing again!

    Nice idea with multiple models!

    Glad you were able to make it work! Pictures?

    I'm not really sure how you've got it set up, from your description. Could you provide photos? Regarding the safety jumpers, the printer _will not_ power on correctly without the jumpers. On a UMO+ I think it looks like it powers on, but you can't move the extruder or heat anything. On a UM2, you get an error message about the safety circuits. I do not recommend attempting to power it on without the jumpers in place.

    Are your printhead shafts aligned and well lubricated? Can you move the head easily by hand? Try spraying the SD card slot with a little canned air.

    What method of printing (SD card, USB cable, USB stick, wifi, LAN) are you using, and what model machine is it?
  22. fbrc8-erin
    fbrc8.com carries most Ultimaker 2 and Ultimaker 2+ spare parts, so if you decide you want some, they are available right here in the US.

    Ah, I haven't worked too much with S3D; it may be that it handles retraction differently than Cura does.

    I've seen this a couple of times. Check and make sure that you have a file name in the bottom right corner of the screen where your STL file is, next to the pencil. I've highlighted it in green. If the file name is missing from there, the printer will not be able to receive the print correctly and will think the print is immediately done.

    I think TomNagel has answered this question once, but I can't seem to find it. I'm pretty sure you want to bake the PVA on the heated bed at 50 C for 4-5 hours.
