  1. There are different people posting different things on the forums, some only give advice and some only what they have made etc. there could be a badge for different types of fields and some people might have multiple badges.

    For newbies it could be good to know you are getting advice from a good source.

    if you see someones profile with a maker badge then you could click and see all the amazing things they have printed.

    this could make you more inspired or you could ask tips on how they get those fine details etc.

     

  2. Hi,

    I don't know about support in America but I had one shipped to New Zealand a few months back and it was packed well and arrived with no issues.

    Dual Extrusion is commented at the end of this article: https://www.ultimaker.com/blogs/news/2014/09/20/introducing-ultimaker-original-and-a-heated-bed-upgrade-kit

    It's a awesome printer and although some people experience slow responses from support sometimes. The community on this forum makes up for it with a lot of experienced users providing an extensive amount of information and help where needed.

    most problems can be resolved here without the need to contact support and there are a few people from Ultimaker reading posts on the forum that provide help also.

  3. Hi Woofy,

     

    you are speeding ahead! The crash was luckily/..unfortunately ( :wink: ) not as spectacular as the title made it sound.

     

    Of course by all means you should do whatever you want to do, but I was hoping we could do this as a group project

    and we could all benefit from the amazing wide range of skill sets we have in this community :)

     

    I would also like to contribute to a group project as my main expertise is engineering and not with electronic equipment.

    It Is kind of good having a few people build some, so they can tell us what works and what doesn't.

    I think if you want a group project then at some point someone will have to decide what will be the requirements.

  4. Polycarbonate is awesome material. There are people that have looked into modifying there printers to be able to print with it. I think most people don't as it's known that you need higher then 260 degrees to print with it. Interesting though that you were able to print with it.

    It's something that I would love to print with but haven't bothered with the current temp restrictions.

  5. I was using a .8mm nozzle and printing at 210deg at 30mm/s and .2 layers. Was printing with 1 shell thickness of .8

    I will need to adjust temps a little but when it was printing i could actually see it jumping across the corner as per the blue line in the slicer picture. yes i have noticed there no actual holes but its leaving blobs on the inside edge of the receiving corner.

    What looks like under extrusion, spirals around the vase the whole way up and is actually a thicker line then the rest and is at the same points where its jumping the corner.

  6. HI

    Im trying to print a small vase and have just a single outer layer. I set it on spiralize out contour.

    As it was printing I noticed it has small gaps spiralling around the vase on the corners.

    I went back and could see it in Cura. (yeah I know i should have checked before printing)

    Is there any fix for this?

  7. You have a space at the end of the URL, if you click on it you have a 404.

    But thanks for the vid!

    Btw, take how many was that? ;)

     

    Removed space.

    Was Take 1. Hence it shows me turning it the wrong way. Couldn't be bothered changing the nozzle out again for a better video. Started removing the fans before I remembered to start the video.

  8. In Cura on the RHS there is view mode. select layers and if support structure is going to be printed you can see it there before you even try printing it.

    there are a few settings you can adjust for support structure. sometimes it doesn't print if the item is thin or small or if its at a set angle.

    If you select FULL SETTINGS then go to OPEN EXPERT SETTINGS then you see a section called Support. there you can adjust the support amount and the overhang angle. Without seeing you model its hard to know what wrong. but you can adjust those the look at the layer view and see if it will print the support.

    Sketchup Also saves as STL file. STL is the most widely used format.

    If you look at the X-Ray mode it will show up any problems with your model in red.
