Will the new feeder perform better than Roberts + an MK8 gear? If so I would be interested in obtaining one as well for my 1 month old UM2

As long as the arrows work (and for now my up and down work as well *fingers crossed*) I can manage. But if I can be of assistance in any way, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm not scared of technical stuff, so if you need things tested or wrecked, I'm your man.

Just to be sure it's not the model: Did you try to enable the "X-ray" view mode to see that your model is fully manifold?

There is definitely some weird shit going on with those support libraries I must say This morning I could trackpad rotate in all directions suddenly (without modifier keys), but as soon as I selected the model and deselected it, it stopped working. Even after a cura-restart it didn't start working again.

Yes indeed. And after a cura restart, I can use the up and down arrow to rotate all of a sudden as well. Guess it's indeed a stuck modifier key if it doesn't work.

@gr5: I was trying that 2 toned thing but you forgot to mention that you need to mirror the text

Robert, I sure no one ever does, but I literally get this multiple times a week and "a lot of small ones make a big one" as we say in Belgium Anyhow, you're completely right. Unfortunately I still can't rotate my workspace

You know what... Just imagine you - who is using windows I assume - (or any other windows user for that matter) ask a question on any forum out there and people start throwing all these remarks at you. Why? Am I, because I happen to prefer MacOS above Windows (which I've used for 10+ years) somehow asking people to mock me for my hardware choices? Are mac users, because they are a minority, somehow worth less? Can you as a company - if you release a mac compatible product - hide behind a "a mac is not a computer, so what do you expect" excuse if it doesn't really work? I'm really so tired of always the same reactions. I have never seen mac users dis windows users on forums, just because they ask a question about something that doesn't work. "Ow, of course, you are on windows, what else did you expect?" I like my Mac and I consciously threw out my windows PCs because I really prefer the mac. So what? It's not anyones right to judge me for that. And I know how hard it is to interpret the tone behind text sometimes, so I want to clarify that I don't mean to step on any toes here. So really all I'm asking is that everyone just thinks for 2 seconds before they post something like that. Just my $0.02

Sigh, okay so a mac is not a real computer. Great.

Yeah, I've been experiencing this as well. You have obviously more energy than I have, looking into the console. Shame on me, being a web-developer and all

Dim3nsioneer if you connect a regular mouse to a mac it is perfectly capable of detecting and using the right mouse button, scroll wheels etc. It's not because you don't really need the right mouse button on macos that it is not supported So IMO it's not something that needs to be configured at the "mouse end" but probably Cura related. I've annoyed Daid via DM in the hopes he can/will clear some stuff up here

Filaflex Printed at 235º/60º. 0.1mm layers, 30mm/sec. When printing the bottom I noticed some underextrusion so I upped the flow to 102% and the speed to 90% (so actually it printed at +27mm/sec)

Seen a dozen times but imo the obliged print for testing filaflex: Cute octopus says hello: My very first filaflex print. Thanks to Robert for his awesome feeder

Is there a Kickstarter project yet?

Can somebody start on a "tips and tricks" wiki already?

That is nothing compared to what I saw in the "3d printing battle wounds" topic on another site ;-). But nice one nevertheless. Doesn't look like the nozzle, but does look like a burn of some sorts. What else gets hot on these things?

Was printing the snapon and didn't look at it. At the end it turns out that Cura decided to close the hole lol. Pretty useless like that Nvmd, too quickly. It just started printing it when I aborted. Too tired, gonna try again tomorrow

+1 from moi

How was the hole size on the latch and arm, any problem getting the screw through? Yes because I kind of messed up the stock screws. But these are also 3mm and although I had to "screw" them all the way through (couldn't just push them through): a lot less effort than the spacers. I have a bit more resistance now when opening the arm, but nothing to bad. I don't overdo the tension on the screws. Actually looking back: Not too bad. It's just that with the changes I wasn't fully sure if I had to leave the support for the holes or not. They looked pretty solidly attached and since no more spacers were required I was afraid they would be needed initially. So it took a bit more effort to leave them alone. After I printed the body I figured out quickly that they needed to go. If I had known that earlier it would've be less effort I would just leave the STL files and don't pre slice it. You don't have "special requirements" in this one like the spacers before and not everyone wants to print these at 100% infill (or some people actually do). It's hard to please everyone.

I printed it, messed around with getting the support out and mounted it. No real issues found. Printed "the tube" and experienced some underextrusion at 10mm3/s but then I recalled I forgot to up the temperature, so all good!

I was wondering: Is anyone here using a rock polisher to clean up their prints? If so, what device do you use and what do you put in it for cleaning?

Arm is printing right now. Minor detail regarding the body: I've had to rotate it 180º. The wider part for the snap-on is at the bottom in default orientation so most of the piece is floating in the air and will need support like that Will keep you appraised of my progress.

To be honest: I didn't put in the piece of tube. I will for this one. It looks a lot more solid. If you don't have issues with the hole eroding then I'll get rid of the extra guide.

I sure hope your gf doesn't read this forum

Would be kind of cool if you could combine your changes with the filament guide, I was just considering changing the feeder body by that one. I'd really like to get rid of the "filament below the bottom of the machine"-thing. I've reprinted the v4 of your feeder btw and haven't had problems with the arm since. I do have to admit that when opening it I make sure I apply pressure close to the yoke. When it broke last time I was pushing on the end near the latch and that was probably part of why it broke. I'll try to print out v5 and see what gives. I did mess up one of the body screws last time so I don't know if I can still get it off Love the fact that you got rid of the spacers, my god those were annoying
