Daid; if I change this file, will it be overwritten with a firmware update? also, if i wanted to reverse the feeder, is that possible?

totally understand that this is a hard egg to crack.. but still.. if i buy a printer and i load a model that is smaller then advertised, and I can't print it.. I might be annoyed. sure, the wipe tower might not always be needed, but horizontal expansion is seriously needed when doing PVA.. so perhaps there might be at least an asterisk that indicates that the volume is " fluid" so to say..

You can move the tower, so how can you communicate this build volume? "Depending on the location of the prime tower you have nnxnnxnn build area" isn't that helpfull either. well, moving the tower doesn't really help if your object is square.. what I would recommend is to set the specs for the default print volume a it is with Cura out of the box. that would be realistic. right now, the print volume is set as the max area with fifteen asterisks.. so you can reach that max print volume with dual extrusion IF you disable the prime towers, disable skirt, disable horizontal expansion, disable a part of the travel etc. etc. that is a lot of asterisks..

ok I'm still dissatisfied. i tried printing the large volume and honestly, when using dual extrusion, you can't really do that without some form of priming. so disabling the prime tower is not really an option.. @SandervG .. honestly, I think the build volume should be updated on the website. while not technically wrong, it is near impossible to use. if you substract the priming tower, which you kinda need for PVA, you loose quite the amount of surface. if you use the default settings in Cura, or even the settings you can see, you are about 1.5 to 2 cm away from the specified print volume. that is quite the percentage.. I had to search the community to find out all the trickery i had to do to fit objects in.. and i could not work a prime tower in, which when printing with PVA is not fun, which you could normally fix with the horizontal expansion with support.. which you must also disable.. so while the spec is technically correct (and yes, that's the best form of correct), it is not a realistic build volume..

nevermind, found the solution.. but i don't like the solutions I found :(

Hi; getting some strange results here; trying to print something in Dual Extrusion. according to the specs, the printer supports 197 x 215 x 200 mm using dual extrusion. according to Cura, when scaling to max size, my object can only be 18.2 over the X axis.. that's 1.5 cm's that I need.. so is Cura wrong or is the spec wrong? what is the next step?

I believe this is incorrect, the printers we have received does only have one AA installed and a AA and a BB in the Accessory box, and it asks you to insert the BB during the initial start up guide. sorry i totally misphrased i meant that indeed, the AA is in the machine, there is an AA and a BB in the box, and the BB in the box has already been precalibrated with the BB core so that right at the start you can use AA+BB without calibriation.

Looking at the specs, the Ultimaker 3 comes with 2 x AA cores and 1 x BB core, so two colours is possible straight out of the box Nice thanks! But then I would I need more cores? Is there a risk that it might have a failure with no repair? so for a more complete answer; yes the UM3 comes out of the boxed with an installed AA and BB core, pre-calibrated. there is a "spare" AA core that you can use to have AA+AA prints, with dual material in dual color. you will have to recalibrate but the printer will remember the cores that you used thanks to the serial numbers. so once you have calibrated the AA+BB and the AA+AA you can exchange them at will. and yes, you will need more cores. the AA cores are consumables. after a certain set of hours or wear, the print quality will go down and you will have to replace them. the good news is that you don't need to go through the UM2+ spiel, so no disassembling of the printhead for changing of couplers, fans or nozzles, but just a simple consumable. costs should be identical or lower as compared to the Um2+.

congratulions hope you enjoy! also, when turning it on for the first time, give it about a minute before the display lights up don't be worried!

You have no clue what you are talking about matey. har har har talk like a pirate day! anyway, there are reasons to disclose this information and reasons not to. Ultimaker has chosen not to disclose the information about a specific date, and there is nothing we can do to change that. they don't owe you or me anything with regards to announcements. it was well and clear a new printer was coming this year (multiple blogs and interviews and forum posts). if you bought an UM2+ extended because it fitted your needs, good for you. if you bought one despite it fitting your needs.. then why did you buy it? sure the UM3 is nice and shiny.. but it can do things my Um2+ can't do and the other way around..

no results from the first cmdlet.. and that second file does not exist..

Its pretty easy. Look at core dumps find / -xdev -name core -ls -o -path "/lib*" -prune Remove already installed packages apt-get autoremove --purge And clean outdated kernels, if they exist dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge nothing is every easy.. as soon as i try something with apt-get : E: Write error - write (28: No space left on device) Even sudo apt-get clean show these error? no that one works.. for the rest: Reading package lists...

so let's say i ran an apt-get update before reading your text and /dev/root is full.. how would one solve this theoretical scenario?

yeah.. it has something to do with a new version of Edge and the forum software.. SandervG is on it.

I know.. Sander knows.. and it's super easy to now ramp up my posts @sandervg, awesome that sounds like a good answer.

any updates on this? yes.. especially since the support statements i got from Ultimaker from when I bought my UM2 was that you could just flip the glass plate if you got damage

it seems the benelux distributor has them ready to ship.. http://www.trideus.be/en/ultimaker-3.html

i need to put my machine in developer mode to allow ssh right.

cool cool.. pretend i'm stupid and did not pay attention.. do i just SSH in and change a config file somewhere?

wait wut? shouldn't the object not be printed on top of the raft?

question! if i replace the stepper motors.. could I still do this: create a new gcode file, and insert M92 E492.45 then M500 ? i could do this on the UM2..
