How can I just let it come out, without having to go through the Wizzard all over all the time? So I can have a quick look. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips, used all your settings, now after the first robot (well actually I had this problem prior to the printing of the first robot as well) is that material just isn't coming out of the nozzle, the head is moving as it wants to print, but nothing is coming out. On the first occasion, I just gave it a little push and it started feeding the material to the print head and came out, had to do this procedure about 3 times. Now I changed the material (Colorfabb's Traffic Red) and the problem is here again, when it purges right before the print starts, it comes out but curles up, so it's not flowing nicely down towards the print bed. But then it stops coming out at all... Mind you when I set the settings back to Factory Settings and go through the leveling and material insertion process, at the stage, when the material should come out it comes out, with a bit of an upwards curling (sticking to the nozzle head), but it comes out nevertheless, however when I got to printing, it doesn't come out... weird. Any suggestions? Thanks P.S. Thanks Don, indeed my Gallery was set to Private, silly mistake. Made it Public now.

@ gr5 thanks for the lengthy reply, appreciate it. Now a few newbiesih responses: 1.) I only see two cooling fans, so I am not sure where the third one would be. 2.) In Cura I can see the speed setting, but failing to find the Temperature setting, can you please point me to that? 3.) How can I define when to turn on the cooling fan (you said for the overhang parts to have them turn on at that stage)? Thanks! P.S. Sorry for the double post and thanks for closing the other one.

Hi Sander, wow thanks for the quick response, no worries the adding of the images is alright, just couldn't figure it out now I know! So I attached the photos, looking forward to some tips and ideas. Thanks!

Hi first time UM2 user here, I am comparing in the image the print I received by UM with my printer and the first print I made with the printer. I am by far not expecting my first print to come out as theirs did, but I am just curious what did they do to achieve the level of quality on their (red) printed item. Any tips and hints greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi guys, I am a new user of Ultimaker 2, after settling some kinks, the material wouldn't move, so I had to push it a bit for the feeder to grab it and push it on its own, first print I added apparently not enough glue, so it got unstuck in the middle of the print job. But after that stuff I was able to start printing the UM Robot. In all honesty, for the first "out of the box" print it went well, however I do have some issues which I am sure are an easy fix for a skilled user. The robots legs started off very nicely, up to his body it looked like I hit the loto with an out of the box print, but then there were some gaps in certain layers and also some stringing, not much but you can see on the pictures, where the outer edge of the body begins, there's some strings hanging off. I would kindly ask you to help a noob out and give me some tips where or how to fix this, I used the UM Robot 3D model from the SD card, should I have put the model into Cura first and do some modifications there or what? Thanks in advance. P.S. What format of images are allowed? I uploaded the photos to an external link and tried adding it here, but it says: You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community. I used JPEGS. Is it possible to upload the photos up here on the forum or should I always use an external file hosting service? Can't seem to find a button in the editor where I could attach a photo :/
