Why does my print have tiny zebra stripes?
Labern replied to Wisar's topic in Improve your 3D prints
It should come with at least one but this will be down to the 3D Solex resellers and what they will offer. -
Why does my print have tiny zebra stripes?
Labern replied to Wisar's topic in Improve your 3D prints
There has been comparisons between the two blocks not long after the first releases. The OB had a bit more oozing but you can print at faster speeds. Also it can depend on what change out nozzles you are using as over time both E3d and 3d solex have changed the internal profiles. There will be a more advanced OB coming out and nozzles in the near future. -
It looks like a nice simple visual format but agree with your comments that a bit more information is required in some fields. It needs to be a easy format where you don't have to enter tons of information but be enough for people to visualize the scope of the project. If people can add fields for things like cad designs, electrical schematics, software / firmware and plugins etc would be good. If the project can be broken down into smaller tasks it maybe be easier for some people to commit to small items. I have a project that requires a lot of firmware work and maybe a plugin. As I don't know much about firmware or software in general it may good if a contributor can have the ability to be able to break down the work required and add smaller tasks so they don't have as much work on their plate. A project also may start as proof of concept and if works grow into fully working completion but may then need upgrades to improve it further or add another feature. @SandervG you tagged me in your comments but I didn't receive a notification.

Upgrade your Ultimaker 2 with the Extrusion upgrade

My webshop. Or any other resellers of 3D Solex products. -
Upgrade your Ultimaker 2 with the Extrusion upgrade
Labern replied to SandervG's topic in UltiMaker 3D printers
The only issue I can think then it's that the cables are 20cm longer, so you will have to grip them somewhere so they don't disturb you, there's plenty of room bellow the printer. Oh there's other problem that maybe someone with more knowhow can answer. The um2+ uses a 35W heater, um2go I think uses 25W. Worse case scenario you might need to swap the one you have to the um2+ hotend. I know that um2go uses a less powerfull powersupply, but I don't know the actual numbers. I have a 50w heater and heated bed on my UM2GO and it works fine. -
Why does my print have tiny zebra stripes?
Labern replied to Wisar's topic in Improve your 3D prints
You might want to start a new topic as there is quite a few reasons and the discussion could be lengthy. There is a lot of topic already on z banding so you might want to do a site search on Google. -
A tick box would be great. Also advanced search with more options would be great also.

I'm am also waiting. Ordered the day it was released. -
Are you sure this is not just a plot to get you to buy more filament

Hacking UM to cut stuff...
Labern replied to drayson's topic in Third party products & modifications
There are jumpers which you set to the max for your laser. Then there is a pot which you disconnect the laser and use a multi meter to measure the amperage. You can adjust the amperage using the pot to the max you want to use. I used the max for continuious use in this case. then use the PWM to controll it from there. So mine was on 255. You can use software to generate gcode that alters the PWM output to laser photos. I have other plans for mine though so didn't get into that. -

This kit is not made by ultimaker. -
Which torque is correct for a nozzle swap?
Labern replied to peetree's topic in UltiMaker 3D printers
I have printed the Anders torque wrench and have had no issues with leaking. Ultimaker experienced some leaking when they were testing the Olsson Block before they sold it on there printers, so they recommend a higher torque setting. I am using the old UM feeder and Roberts feeder. If you use the new geared feeder or something like the bondtech then it maybe more likely to leak with the higher pressures in the nozzle.- 1 reply

It's ok and normal.
-
Oh. It's says on their website that they would be.
-
If you read the description it says ease of use comes close to PLA. This means it's not as easy to print with. But it does look like it's worth a try.

They will be at the Maker Faire. @SandervG and @Gr5 will be there I think so will be able to do some recon.

Sounds great. Happy printing.

Oh... I just saw this contest for the first time.... :(

Amazing Transparency results using Colorfabb HT
Labern replied to luisito's topic in Materials & profiles
That would be awsome if it can print as shown. I would like to try some of the HT material so I may get some clear. -
I use Onshape and Sprutcam. Fusion 360 has lots of great features and has its own CAM but coming from a solidworks background I find onshape more intuitive to use and I don't want to spend many hours learning yet another piece of software. Tormach have a profile for sprutcam with their machine models for simulation, lots of videos and 4th axis support (which i cant wait to try) so I thought it was the best bet for starters as I have never used CAM. Onshape has a free 3d cam which I'm yet to try. I found a lot of speeds and feeds calculators on the net but most only have imperial so I got the G-wizard trial. It's really good. You can create a tool library and enter all your machine capabilities and it will spit out what's best for your machine. Tormach also have a profile for it which makes it even better but g-wizard have other mills and router profiles also.

Sure is, and Here is my first part. 9 more to go. All other parts i required are all prepped and made.
-
Yep. Well I hope to run a bit of a business in the end and I already have people lining up wanting bit made for them. But they will have to wait for me to learn how to use this thing properly. Its i bit more involved then 3D printing.
-
So I was able to SQUEEZE my new Tormach CNC mill into my small garage. YAY Now time to make some printer parts
-
Yes as long as you dont sell it and advertise it as an ultimaker
-
You can contact your nearest UM Reseller and get any of the parts you require from them.
