I stated that I was printing with normal quality settings gr5. (quickprint) Isn't those the parameters that must work with Ultimaker printers?
Work yes, work well no.
there are a lot of factors that can effect the quality of a print and sticking to the quick print settings can limit the ability to get the best results.
Normal setting will be to fast for the advice gr5 is giving.

I'm not good at the artsy stuff but here is an idea anyway.
Its the Ultimaker robot that's like a transformer that turns into tools.
As Ultimaker is all about making stuff and I guess the robot symbolizes that you have a robot that makes stuff for you. So these little transformer bots turn into the tools that build the new Ultimakers. or stuff that you want to make.
I just thought of it and thought I should enter while I can but I'm sure I could come up with 8 different robots that do different things.
they start off looking normal then the legs extend down for handles and parts rotate or move inside etc..

Mine turned out like that so I sanded the bottom so it was nice and flat and re drilled the hole. Months later it's still going strong. If you don't have the correct size drill bit (3.2mm by memory, but u should check) then you can get a sharp pointed knife and remove the lip on the inside edge.

Hi Daid
Every time I update Cura, the update notification window loads behind the main Cura screen. I have missed this sometimes and manually selected firmware update instead of the simpler update button on the notification window.
I'm using OS X Yosemite.

I have printed XT at 220deg but you start to get layer adhesion problems.
also make sure the bowden tube is firm in the connectors at each end so there is no movement.
and using fans with XT is fine

looks like NASA 3d modeling skills as well as rendering suck big time.
I think that some clown created that website and made claims that all of you fell for to be real NASA website or NASA content.
Yes the design sucks but it wasnt designed by NASA. It was designed by a guy from Made In Space. the company that built the 3d printer that NASA uses.

Some websites state 3mm filament but its actually 2.85mm, you just need to ask or read the fine print to find out. The one you are looking at has potential problems as it could end up being 3.05mm. which might work but not ideal.
I would stick to the correct size and use brands like the ones Didier Klein mentioned.

I have been trying out the new Quick Print profiles and they are greatly improved with no problems so far.
-
Oh, just noticed you are using a different printer. So settings may differ but principle is the same.

When the head travels from one parts to another, the nozzle oozes slightly. This can happen even with retraction turned on.
to fix it you can put the parts closer together, speed up travel speed to 250mm/s (make sure rods are lubed with light oil), lowering nozzle temp, or adjusting the retraction settings.
I would print 2 of these parts and adjust 1 setting at a time and see the effect so you learn what changes they make.
Play in the Bowden tube can effect retraction so make sure it doesn't have any movement in the connections.

Your right PM, i thought about adding some supports but went without, worked quite well. Slightly rough underside but not too bad. Printing with Bronzefill is tricky because I find that to get a better flow of material its good to print quickly, a little quicker than you normally would with standard PLA...normally i would try printing small sharp teeth quite slowy but not with this. There is a sabretooth tiger skull too...
There maybe something causing your flow problem. I have emptied a roll of bronzefill with no issues. printing at 100% flow and a lot of prints at 30mm/s and 190deg.
or were you wanting to print slower than that?

sw control for the little noisy fan is ready, but it's the hardware that cannot do it. The next UM2 electronics board iteration does this, but that hasn't been released yet.
Will we be able to hack our UM2's to cater for this or will this just be for new machines?
-
Sometimes if I have a few small parts I use brim and space them out so the brim makes a big flat base connecting from one part to the other.
-
I want that thing that I know they're working on but I can't talk about...
Yeah I really want it 2.
-
That model doesn't need support.
-
I'm pretty sure the transport guys would find a way to damage it, they can be very inventive when it comes to beat the shit out of packages :mrgreen:
Reminds me of the intro to Ace Ventura Pet Detective.
-
That's pretty cool.

-
That's good. I just checked out the press kit which has more photos but it wasn't displayed.
-
Is the reusable packaging for the UM2go just cardboard. or something a bit more substantial?
-
Hey, Any news on when these nozzles will be ready. I would like 2 if possible.
-
Yeah the OWl is impressive. but fricken ugly. and not something I can look forward to buying in the near future.
I do like the Voxel8 and found it very interesting. but i mean the whole show hasn't come out with anything overly exciting enough to make your balls tingle.
-
Is it just me or does CES seem rather boring this year?
Only exciting news came from Ultimaker.

Hi
I had the same problem and no one responded to my question but I was able to fix it by bending the arm on the homing limit switch so it homes a little more to the left. then when it prints it doesn't hit the side.
