    Cura outputs incomplete G-code

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted

    Currently I am attempting to print something that covers most of the build plate. Due to this error, getting a proper G-code output is proving to be impossible.

    I can hardly imagine being the only one with this problem. I uninstalled all Cura versions and reinstalled the latest version, tried saving to different locations and a couple of other tricks, but the problem persists. This is really interfering with day to day printing.

    Can anyone see anything in the logs? Does anyone have any other suggestions on what to try? Am I overlooking something basic?

     

    what filament and storage

    Okey thx for answer :)

    well yeah i have been looking on the advertising for colorfabb xt to to see if its biodegradable but i cant find anything that suggest that or i am blind?

    i am going to order a umo+ and som spare parts on thursday :)

    soo i want to order som filament to soo i am going to order from colorfabb thanks to you guys :) and think i am going to buy a couple spools of xt to have for the prints that needs a bit higher glass transition temprature and that little extra strenght :) any tips and hints on stuff to get or spareparts that i might need is higly apreciated

    Looking forward to get the umo and get started printing :)

     

    The hot end isolator is a consumable, so you will need that eventually. You might consider getting a spare nozzle too, and maybe a PEEK part, though that last one should not be needed if you don't do anything weird.

    Other than that you would probably better order as you need. Unless you have specific time constraints that require you to deliver prints to customers or something.

    Colorfabb PLA is quite good, that is a good choice :)

    With the safety discussion in mind, please also consider the flammability of this stuff. It tends to evaporate at a fairly quick rate and the fluid [or the vapour directly above as the fluid itself does not burn] itself is also not hard to ignite. After a bout of working with this, even just plugging in an appliance or a spark inside a motor could be bad news.

    Burning to death is a horrible way to go, or even just to lose your house. Be sure to take precautions and to keep fire fighting equipment at hand that is capable of dealing with this type of fire. Be safe :)

    Though my objection to cloud based services remain, they do seem to make the right noises here. Using a professional payment partner could be explained as both as a positive and a negative, but the apparent awareness of potential internal and external communication risks is a plus.

    Admittedly nitpicking, that encryption could be your friend or foe. As long as they are in business it should work out, but what happens when they are in trouble and the people with the passwords go home remains to be seen. Even if you could somehow procure a court order to grab the physical servers, your data might still be inaccessible. Not very relevant for hobbyists, a potential nightmare for companies. Though I do very much realise I am looking for trouble ;)

    It's basically the question that matters with all cloud services, "what happens when it ends?" I expect barely a soul thinks about that when they sign up for the large cloud services you see today that purport to sell you something rather than rent.

     

    Essentially, anything "cloud based" read - 'on other peoples remote computers via the internet' - can never be as easy and as quick as something running locally on your own machine.

     

    I pretty much agree with you. Normal design operations can hardly be faster when the data has to be shipped across the world. However, I do see some value in a server park that can spring in when simulations need to be done or other complex procedures are needed.

    Wacky failure modes

    in Coffee corner

    Posted

    If you have been printing for a while, you probably have seen a lot of things go wrong. Most issues are pretty common, but chances are you also saw some weird things happen. An unlucky combination of circumstances, a one in a million event or just your own doing. I thought it might be fun to share those experiences.

    I'll go first. I use an incandescent light bulb to see the project better while printing. One day, the print suddenly failed mid print. It turns out the light got a little too close to the bowden cable, causing the wrapping to partially melt, but also the PLA to soften in de tube. The softer filament being pushed up into itself resulted in a slight thickening which caused major resistance. In turn that caused the extruder bolt to grind, hampering any further extrusion.

    Moving the lamp and cutting out the slightly thicker part of the filament quickly solved this, but I must admit I had not seen this one coming.

    What is your story?

     

    Turning off bridging features

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted

    I don't understand the problem. If they are bridges they should be bridged, right?

    Otherwise the filament will fall down... It might try to print in thin air.

     

    What characteristic of your bridges makes them such that you don't want them bridged?

     

    That will not be a problem, I am designing my own supports :) The problem is that Cura insists on bridging the tiny necessary gap. This results in slight deforming, as the long strands are somewhat wayward. I think cleaning and polishing the nozzle might help a bit, but to eliminate any trouble Cura needs to treat it as just another layer. Not leaving a gap is not possible either, as that would sully the result in other ways. If Cura would just do which it does in any other layer, everything would probably be fine.

    Zumfab I'm guessing you are going to stay with your current CAD software and keep paying you annual maintenance. I'm also guessing that you do thousands of Euros in CAD billing every year. This program is not for everyone.

     

    I am just trying to understand the qualities, risks and limitations of this alternative :) Any new service deserves a good hard look, so anyone interested can take an informed decision.

    You are right, by the looks of it and the information that we have so far it is probably not for me. Though I do think I might suggest it to a friend, as my priorities and preferences are not those of everyone. As long as you are aware of what you are getting into, why not?

     

    Turning off bridging features

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted

    Is it possible to turn off the bridging features altogether? I noticed that as soon as you leave any kind of gap, Cura will still behave as if it needs to bridge. Even if this might not be the case. By that I mean that you get lots of parallel straight lines across the gap, rather than the usual criss-cross normal layers get.

    Can I force Cura to behave like in any other layer?

    Here is a link to Onshape FAQs Read what they have to say about security. I think you will find it interesting.

    I do not see anything about server location, jurisdiction and applicable laws or actual talk about forms of security in there. They have a great story, but without any substatiation I cannot imagine trusting a company with valuable and vital company data like that.

    For the rest I agree with gr5. Nothing more fickle than internet companies. Cloud companies are great when they work and do what they are supposed to do. When things go awry, they can be your worst nightmare. People love the cloud, but generally seem to overlook the consequences and risks that go along with the concept. You are not a buyer any more, you are renting. This means that sooner or later, the services you pay for will end without any control over them. You are not a buyer any more, you are renting.

    Banks are easily accountable when they lose your money, unless something major happens. This, I am not too sure. Running a healthy business is about taking some risks, while mitigating others to an acceptable level, but adding single points of failure does not seem wise.

    I finally remembered to save two logs from different parts. At first I though it had to do with print length or plugins, but neither seem to be the case.

    If anyone on the thread has not tried it have a look. Read what they are saying about data security. I believe that this is going to change the face of CAD and be around for ever.

     

    I cannot seem to find what you are referencing, could you perhaps post a link? I am curious to see what they think about data security. Anything that is continually sending data back and forth will need to have a good story :D

    Unlike SLS, where beams of UV light is projected to different areas to cure the resin, this CLIP does it so that the UV light is continuously projected on the whole area, and the oxygen determines where the resin is cured.

     

    You mean SLA right? This is still SLA by the looks of it. They fine-tuned and developed it, but it is still the photo curing of resin. I do not see a fundamental difference to call it a truly different technology. If this all pans out they certainly added to it, but the basis it still the same.

    is pla is biodegradable ?

    is xt biodegradable?

     

    PLA is biodegradable, though opinions vary on how easy it degrades. It appears it needs somewhat specific conditions to do so. The biodegradability of XT does not get mentioned anywhere, so I assume this is not degradable, as you would want to clearly advertise that if it is.

    I used to hate the cloud. Cloud, however, is a BS marketing term.

    I think of it as paying for secure server space. IMHO It is far cheaper to pay someone than do it myself. I mean, I can hack something together, which I have with a Windows Server. But it is a pita. We then VPN in. I have to set up a VPN for each user. Security? I followed what was recommended. To me it makes sense to let professionals handle it.

    I just started to use GrabCad Workbench with SW. I don't care if they do call it cloud. I like it.

     

    I understand the confusion, as the cloud seems to be a buzzword indeed. It's almost as if calling it the cloud means those servers are not in a datacentre somewhere. However, it does not make a difference for me at all. I do not see any value in being tied into a network for things that can and should be done offline. Other people see sharing, I see security risks and loss of control over your own data and workflow. For instance, what happends when these guys go out of business? Is all your project data gone? There are so many unknowns and risks that the benefits sound very meagre in return.

    We'll see how this offline version pans out. The online version could be the best editor in the world, as long as my work is uploaded to some unknown server I am afraid I will have to pass.
