    And how you plan to remove the supports? With a nano robot that goes inside and eats the supports? :D

     

    Patience. A shit load of it :PAnd custom designed/printed pliers to fit inside.

     

    Well actually, that model is printed with single extrusion.

    As you can see here, @Illuminarti did it in 2013 already. We used custom supports for easy removal.

     

    I'd love to see a picture of the printed version with support.

    Cura 2.3 Beta Awesomeness and Some Issues

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted

    Haven't gotten to printing stuff, but the GUI looks nice, all the material settings, and adding printers. This beta is one hell of an upgrade for power/commercial/industrial users. Cura maturing into a product no longer perfect for enthousiast, but also for mainstream/large scale users.

    Had some trouble with Cura freezing up for a second or 10 upon loading some models, before it started slicing. Others went really fast. I believe a rough surface quality of the model messes the slicer up. But hey, that's to be expected right? Can send you the model, it seems to have disappeared from Thingiverse.

    1 other thing I noticed was that it couldn't open gcode files and display the layers. Even gcode generated from this version of Cura.

    I'll have a look with a less glossy material(this is Ultimaker blue PLA).

    The skirt is totally fine, nicely squished into the glass bed on 33 degrees. However when it starts printing the inner circle it just starts under extruding like hell. Causing it to not adhere to the bed. I'm not sure what happened. I will clean the bed and reapply the glue and print with another PLA

     

    The point you are describing, is the seam. I can see it very clearly in your lizard print. That is what I am trying to improve.

     

    I figured, but as you can see it's not really annoying in those kind of prints.

    Had a lot of trouble with bed adhesion, the skirt was great, but the print was not sticking. So I upped the bed temperature to 60 degrees.

    Left(control) to right. I'd say normal is the best though

    @lars86, I decided to do some testing too.

    Printed on a UMO with heated bed+dual fan setup and Ruby .4 Nozzle. UM Blue.

    Normally I use Cura 15.04.4. and can't really say I have Z scars, other than these where you see the place the z step goes down in the same spot:

    [media=18156][/media][media=18157][/media]

    But I noticed them on this print for like the first time in an ugly sense(don't mind the top part, bed got stuck and smudged the top)

    Your gcodes are coming up!

    Why does my print have tiny zebra stripes?

    Ok, time to jump on the band wagon!

    Had a talk with @SandervG about some upgrades and hacks, cura feature topics etc. He pointed this topic out(which I had completely missed). Before I start some tests myself, I'd like to tag some people here. Reading through the topic I noticed it was mainly UM2 electronics and drivers, though people had the same on UMO right.

    I really wonder how the guys with the SilentStepStick drivers are doing, as I recall they were doing the microstepping differently: https://ultimaker.com/en/community/11571-step-by-step-installation-of-silentstepstick-drivers-on-umo?page=1

    @drayson @ataraxis could you guys browse this topic, print a benchy and perhaps even compare old to new drivers, as they are drop in replacements.

    Back when I had no heated bed, leveling wasn't great, was using cheap and bad filament and I didn't have full control over the printer I had 8 hour prints printing parts for mini robots fail so often I ended up printing in the bathroom at night to keep the sound out of my student room.

    For the entry of the mini Ultimaker I wanted to ninja clean some stringing before it curled up, print head hit my hand and snapped a part right of, just an hour before the deadline :p

    And the most recent, also highest print I ever did I didn't realize the stuff I put under the bed as garbage can stop the bed from going down further, leading to a 7:25 fail of a 7:30 print
