I see how it can be confusing, but it is true that this is the build volume you can use. Technically, but also.. well.. normally
A wipe tower is not always necessary, so I agree that a disclaimer or description of different scenarios could just add to the confusion. What could be a solution then...
I can imagine that having to search for the solution is part of feeling frustrated, maybe in Cura there could be a message or intuitive way of indicating that a wipe tower make your build volume a bit smaller?
What do you think?
Most people expect it to list the max possible build volume.
No one lists a smaller build volume, and with an asterisk mention, well.. you can also print bigger if you disable these and these settings.
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..

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..
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..

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?

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
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.
-
To get back on the subject, what do I need to print in 2 colors (same material)? Do I need 2 AA print heads? So straight from the box 2 colors isn't possible?
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+.

New printer arrives tomorrow!
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!-

A decent company would have announced 1 year ahead on the new release that would give time to customer, and for sure the ultimaker 2+ go gradually down in price, but no they wanted to make as much money then bam in your face
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..

Run these: sudo find / -path /var/ -prune -or -size +250M -print
Whats size of /usr/bin/updatedb.mlocate?
no results from the first cmdlet..
and that second file does not exist..
-
Try
ps aux | grep mlocate
and post results
Maybe updatedb.mlocate process take too much space. If yes, just kill them
root@ultimakersystem-ccbdd3000318:~# ps aux | grep mlocate

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?
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... Error!
E: Could not create temporary file for /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin - mkstemp (28: No space left on device)
E: Failed to truncate file - ftruncate (9: Bad file descriptor)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Yeah @korneel I been deleting lots of your double posts this week XD I just assumed was related to some temporal bug and didn't bother me much.
yeah.. it has something to do with a new version of Edge and the forum software.. SandervG is on it.

Let me find out for you
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
-
How are things looking at the warehouse? My distributor (3DGBIRE) has told me that they do not have notice yet of when they are getting some printers but that the early buyers (that would include me at #1) would be notified when they do. Hopefully trucks are in the yard getting ready to load?
it seems the benelux distributor has them ready to ship..
-
Yes, the main config file is located at /usr/share/griffin/griffin/machines/jedi.json
i need to put my machine in developer mode to allow ssh right.
-
Nope, that is not supported. You need to change the machine configuration file for that.
cool cool.. pretend i'm stupid and did not pay attention.. do i just SSH in and change a config file somewhere?
-
That's a feature. It's called the raft air-gap.
The only thing that's changed is that the raft air-gap is not being applied to the support and ooze shield etc.
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..
A wipe tower is not always necessary, so I agree that a disclaimer or description of different scenarios could just add to the confusion.

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?
