  1. Just read the topic, I can imagine your irritation with the amount of response. Though it is holiday season :)Some other probable causes:

    Can you specify for which printer the gcode is? UMO/UMO+/UM2 are quite different from each other in terms of gcode input etc.

    Also, I don't really have trouble with seams, so the need is less for me, and possibly others to test

  2. Hm, I installed and opened the new Cura, loaded a model, selected layer view. I was surprised by the progress, I had time to open up 15.04.4, load it, check layers, download 15.04.6, install it, load it, check layers, go to forum, read forum posts in this topic and the FAQ topic, write this message, and it's only at 9% processing layers. It's eating like 40% CPU too.

    I can't think of anything that this version could do better in order to make up for this difference. It's one of the most used features to check the layers. 12% now. The slicing itself was slower, but that is acceptable if it indeed works better. I really hope you can fix the layer display time :(

    Strolling around town this weekend, found a jeweler with an UM2 on display, too bad they were "printing" stuff like il_430xN.115664788.jpg

    Also I found out Delft has a FabLab now! :O Since half a year already. The combination shop/fablab they have is quite amazing. People (and tourists )come in for the nice things to buy and find out they can actually use the machines. Furthermore, if you designed something and made it their, you can try to sell it in their shop.

  4. Hi @SandervG, je hebt een beetje gedubbel paste ;)

    Als ik het goed begrijp is het voornamelijk een social, en geen bring your printer(strand+printer, hmm giant mirrors, sand, metal powder perhaps :D). Cool, ik ga even kijken! Daar zijn natuurlijk een aantal helden die een hand en een bedankje verdienen!

  5. I believe the actual old nozzle was a bit worn, so I swapped for a new one at the time, without result, if I remember correctly.

    Final settings:

    0.1mm layer height for details

    1.2mm top/bot thickness to make sure the top is nicely closed

    0.8mm shell for 0.4mm nozzle

    20% infill as usual

    45mm/s Speed,

    205C nozzle temperature

    60C Heated bed temperature for bed adhesion

    45mm/s retraction speed

    5.5 mm retraction

    initial layer 0.2mm

    250mm/s travel speed

  6. I think it is both. For example on this comparison I believe the nozzle is responsible for better surface quality.

    IMG_20160521_131526.thumb.jpg.60d8236779f157acbf594a56f6d5fac3.jpgYou can also see it in this example:

    Left=original

    Middle= just nozzle upgrade

    Right=nozzle+dual fan upgrade

    IMG_20160513_124648.thumb.jpg.6ca3c48ce2c48817e39811f9b0491316.jpg

    However if you look at the overhangs of the old pictures I believe the dual fan took care of that:

  7. Ok, it's been a long time since I updated the thread. I postponed this print until I did a nozzle upgrade(@anders-olsson rocks!) and a dual fan upgrade(@neotko rocks too!). Remember what it used to be?

    IMG_20160207_005625.thumb.jpg.4bde5574cee38b41bcd93138c36ab5d1.jpg

    Check out the comparison, right is the post processed old piece, left is the unprocessed new piece :D

    IMG_20160521_131526.thumb.jpg.60d8236779f157acbf594a56f6d5fac3.jpg

    And the final product:

    IMG_20160522_160030.thumb.jpg.21cf27bf1865e6e79d79294ce42ce7ec.jpg

    I designed a little knob to fit over the crank, as the downscaled heart didn't like the small crank as much.

  8.  

    Or open it in mesh maker and add some support beams onto orientation 1

     

    Thanks for this. I'd never used Meshmixer (I presume you meant Meshmixer and not meshmaker) before but a quick YouTube search and I was able to add additional supports and have managed to print the part. Many thanks. :)

     

    Yeah my bad! Can you show us the supports you made and the print itself :)?

    Arg, I can't find the video, but I once saw a video showing a 3D printer doing a similar thing. I believe it was printing one of those flexible bracelets, and the 3D printer had a modified gcode which made the printhead push the bracelet once it was printed and start over again and again.

     

    Arjan already linked it, but here's another one I made myself :p

     

    I did this for another type of thing, a small paperclip, printed 6 hours straight on a venue :D

     

    I've watched the video at least three times, only for the music. Funky music suits perfectly continuous printing systems! :D

     

    It's from the artist Mass production ;)
