[Model Shifting during Print]

One side seems to be pulling a little bit. Here is a cropped shot of the left and right side being built - cropped for easier comparison. The curling doesn't seem to be getting better or worse so hopefully it doesn't hit critical mass.

Would it be prudent to trim off the little curly bit?

Hosted it elsewhere, here is a multiple image set.

This is an Ultimaker 2.

The belts by my touch seem tight, similar to when I got it.

Thanks for the tips. I do believe it is because my account is not validated yet. I will check back on this once that happens!

 

[Model Shifting during Print]

I am experiencing shifting along the x-axis during a print.

I was not there to watch this happen but as you can see the shift is not evident in the CURA and Sketchup models*

Could the extrusion head have possibly run up into a wall and caused the motor to slips slightly resulting in an altered absolute position?

Thanks you for any advice leading to avoiding this problem in the future.

*Not sure how to upload picture on the forums...

 

[How to Upload Picture in Ultimaker Forums?]

How do you upload a picture in the Ultimaker Forums?

I have one on my desktop but the "Image" button asks for a URL and the "My Media" tab assumes you have files already uploaded with no obvious method for adding them.

Can anyone share how to upload a photo from your desktop onto a forum post please?

 

[Mesh Support Material]

Thanks for the tips everyone, I will look around CURA more to get the support material generated!

 

[Mesh Support Material]

How can I achieve mesh support material like shown in this video?

 

@3:38

I would like to incorporate this style of mesh supporting material that breaks away for certain printing projects.

Perhaps a way to:

- Use Cura

- Reconfigure MakerWare for Ultimaker2

- Use Design software to add in before STL

Any advice appreciated
