  1. Here is my small improvement to Roberts Feeder.

    https://www.youmagine.com/designs/um2-iroberti-s-feeder-v6-yoke-and-hub-with-guide

    Based on the V6 feeder I have added a filament guide directly on the Yoke to reduce occurrence of the bearing sliding in front of the filament. I had that issue a lot with V4 and started having it again on long prints.

     

    :grin: LOL I can believe you designed the same thing as me, I just didnt think anyone else would require it as i was trying to get filaflex to work. I made the same thing a back in august to go along with Roberts snap on guide with tighter clearance posted here: http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/6829-printing-filaflex/?p=63705

     

  2. Well I finally decided to grab some bronzefill and give it a go. My normal thing is to print the ultimaker robot with the new material till I find out what settings and how well it prints.

    Well first go and it turned out pretty good.

    Now I just need to polish it up and see how he shines.

  3. People have printed higher quality and there is a topic here, http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/3038-can-your-ultimakerultimaker2-print-such-quality/?p=22274

    What acceptable for some isn't for others and how much time you have waiting for prints.

    The robot is hard as it is small but there are heaps of overhangs. You normally try a design things with the least amount of overhangs. So you can get heaps better results depending on the design.

    People seem to prefer this one. https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ultimaker-2-fan-mount-dual--2

    There is a stl for single extruder, I have just printed one to try. Some people highly recommend it but others say it's not needed.

  4. Hey, Welcome to the Ultimaker Community

    Print 2 at a time side by side. this allows proper cooling. The right hand fan is further away than the left so it doesn't cool on that side as much. You can print other fan shrouds to help with this, there is a good one on youmagine by Venkel

    Layer Height - 0.1 ( if this is to thin then overhangs can turn out ugly.)

    wall thickness - 1.2 ( so the infill doesn't effect the outer finish)

    infill 20% ( normal )

    speed 30mm/s ( Print slow will make sure it gets enough cooling and gives better quality )

    Temp 190deg ( Low temps help improve overhangs )

    bed temp 50deg

    That should give you a pretty good robot that you can further tweak if needed.

     

  5. We also want to give more recognition to those community members who actively contribute to Ultimaker and its community.

     

    I guess you don't have to make this a public thing. You could just send out an email to those people thanking them for there valuable input into the community.

     

  6. Small thin items like this can be hard to print.

    I haven't printed the item as im printing something else at the moment but in Cura i can see travel that could cause these blobs. under layer view these are visible as the blue lines. There are issues with z height movement that can cause blobs. Cura 14.09 does have movement issues and there is a 14.10 release here you can try.

    Also a post on a similar issue you are having. note the final post.

    http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/7754-skipping-corners-on-spiralize/?p=72378

    As you can see shiremog achieved better results and if thats satisfactory you could try that.

     

  7. Not to sure on what could be a visual indicator. Could be little icons like a little robot for a top maker, hand for a good advisor etc. Or it could be just a label like mine just says member. It could say top advisor. (Not that I am)

    I only use selected sections of the forum so not sure of the full content shared here but I would think, advisor's, makers, hackers (for mods to um printers), designers (linked by youmagine), programmers and you could have a top socialite (for people here chatting away every day)

    I think selecting the correct answer with a jump to answer in a topic would be great.
