  1. It's problably this topic? "How to connect to a networked printer in UltiMaker Cura" https://support.makerbot.com/s/article/1667410781484 ...with some related details in this article: "The benefits of a network connected printer in UltiMaker Cura" https://support.makerbot.com/s/article/1667411002596
  2. It's a matter of choosing/setting the appropriate precompiler directives. There's a script that i used to build all variants in one go: ..../Marlin/package.sh Of course the directives can be edited in Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h as well, if one does not want to use the build script. The appropriate command from "package.sh" can be used as a reference in this case (there are comments in the script). Looking at the differences between UM2 and UM2+ it should be sufficient to add one line at the beginning of "Configuration.h": #define UM2PLUS
  3. The stl file seems to contain two overlapping copies of the same object. There was perhaps more than one object selected while doing the export in Blender or something went wrong during a boolean operation beforehand. Hope that helps!
  4. I think @HoAlb is talking about the imported 3D-models (stl files) on the buildplate. Those are not part of printer bounded settings AFAIK. The content (and placement) on the build plate is independent of the selected printer and not "automagically" saved in any way, right? One can use project files for this purpose, but that's a manual save, not an automated process. (menu: "File -> Save Project...")
  5. Das Teil auf dem Bild gehört zu einem Ultimaker-Original-Plus, richtig? Ich weiß nicht, ob Dir das weiterhilft, aber die CAD-Dateien dafür finden sich im git-Repository von Ultimaker: Ultimaker-Original-Plus/1501 Print Head Fancap Metal/
  6. All Ultimaker printers are built for material diameter 2.85mm. You don't mention if this printer is modified for the use of 1.75mm materials. So that's probably the main reason for the described problems: it's simply the wrong material. In addition: i don't see a tension indicator at all on the last picture? Are you sure the feeder is complete and correct assembled? There's a great guide from 3dVerkstan with a lot of pictures: https://support.3dverkstan.se/article/64-disassembly-of-the-ultimaker-2-plus-feeder
  7. Let me add: Usually the whole machine settings window can be resized. The gcode area will make use of the additional space. Besides that - copy/paste (and TextEdit) is a common method to edit longer scripts.
  8. Should be more or less self-explanatory 😀: "Printing temperature" = 210 "Printing temperature initial layer" = 230 done "Initial printing temperature" and "Final printing temperature" are only relevant for prints with more than one extruder during nozzle switches. These two are not related to the layer number at all. The various temperature settings in Cura are well explained on this support page (IMHO): https://support.makerbot.com/s/article/1667411286833
  9. There are roughly 1700 "G1 E" commands in the provided gcode file. Maybe the order of parameters is different from what you're searching for? Just search for "G1 F2400 E" and you'll find them all. For example:
  10. AFAIK - each S-Line printer comes with a built-in API that can be utilized for such things. I quote: Moving the printhead needs authentication - the same principle as the connection with Cura via local network (the cloud API is a different thing). Links in these old articles do not work anymore, but all the rest is still valid AFAIK: There are some working examples (python script) that i still use today on the good ol' UM3:
  11. Basically... make it manifold! 🙂 The model from the first post shows all kind of problems. It's not manifold, has overlapping geometries in many places, missing faces and not connected edges in other places. Such an object can't exist in the real world. for example: A proper model for 3D-printing is much harder to make in Blender than in a CAD-Software. But it's not impossible - here (for example) is a brief summary of some crucial things to consider: https://github.com/rlguy/Blender-FLIP-Fluids/wiki/Manifold-Meshes
  12. You do not mention the version of Cura you use, but it should be something like this: if Cura runs in "Recommended Mode", switch to "Custom" mode first use the term "Temperatur" in the searchbar to filter the settings the result should be a list of (at least) 7 temperatur settings (below the "Material" heading), 2 for the buildplate and 5 for the nozzle set all 4 printing temperatures and the standby temperature to 240
  13. First of all - i have no clue what "importing a profile from CHEP on YouTube" actually does to the system - so there is some uncertainty... I have not installed Cura 5.x yet, but during uninstall there used to be an option to remove the configuration files as well. Dunno if this has changed? Alternative: If Cura is running, choose "Show Configuration Folder" from the "Help" menu. This should navigate to the particular folder with configuration files (the actual path depends on the operating system). Close Cura and delete this (whole) folder and all it's siblings (or the whole parent folder "cura") to wipe the configuration. Restart Cura afterwards.
  14. Besides the fact that M600 is ignored by the UM2 🙂... you're right. That's what i used with Octoprint: ;M601 Pause in UltiLCD2, X[pos] Y[pos] Z[relative lift] L[additional retract distance in mm] M601 Z10 X10 Y200 L8 You have to consider the maximum z-height (there are no limit checks if you use the gcode). The extra retract distance may play a role if you manually change the material during the pause. All parameters are optional (as usual).
  15. The delimiter used to be a comma, not a vertical bar? This example from an older post should still work: In addition: there are several placeholders for the selected '...extruder_nr'. This can be useful as well. For example: M104 T{adhesion_extruder_nr} S{material_print_temperature_layer_0, adhesion_extruder_nr} We use {initial_extruder_nr} in the start script for the Mark2 (if you need another example). Good luck!
