Ok, and now it's exactly how i did it...(hopefully) I've just uploaded the Tinker_V15.02-RC1 The changes since V15.01 are: a slightly modified menu "Move material" (in geek mode) an additional "intermediate menu" for pause / abort printing As always: please keep in mind, that it is not yet tested by others than me... just give it a try.... ...and have fun!

a lot of drooling on my side... ...but a little question please: [*]It seems to be much taller than the original shroud. Won't it hit the sliderblocks of the x-axis? And if it does: how much build space would be lost?

Hey, you're an expert and an Ultimaker veteran... you would never press the wrong button, would you...? To be honest, i personally like the "one-click-approach", but i agree that there are probably other possibilities that are even better... What about a simple intermediate step? You press pause, and first a new menu with the following options will appear: "PAUSE", "ABORT" and "OOPS-back to previous". "PAUSE" is pre-selected - so a direct second click pauses the print, but you can also select another option. What do you mean? BTW: I remember that rigs had suggested something similar recently, but i cannot find it at the moment...

Andere Möglichkeit: Wenn ich das richtig sehe, wird standardmäßig nur 3mm Filament zum "Primern" vorgeschoben (Start-GCode). Vielleicht ist das ja einfach nur ein bisschen zu wenig....?

Kannst Du dazu noch ein paar "Randinformationen" herausrücken....? Meine Glaskugel sagt: - wir reden vom Ultimaker2 - Du verwendest _nicht_ UltiGCode, sondern RepRap/Marlin - Slicer ist Cura 15.01 ...wenn das alles zutrifft, dann wäre mal ein Blick in den Start-GCode zu werfen, vielleicht ist da irgendwas schräg? ...oder druckst Du Teile, die nur aus einem Layer bestehen (da hab ich sowas auch schon mal beobachtet)?

Yep, it seems so... but there are other ways to compile the firmware.

I assume that this only happens if more than one extruder is used for a specific print. Seems very logical to me... But if you wrote your own plugin - adding a preceding T0 (respectivley T1) and modifing the start-gcode for your needs shouldn't be such a big problem...?

You're right, but AFAIK this is intentional, isn't it? The pause function never had a security question. It's just the same behavior as in the stock version. I guess you have a suggestion for a change request...?

The material change wizard makes an "end of print" retraction of 20mm. The default for the plugin is 5mm... this is a huge difference... So - what happens...? The plugin retracts 5mm and pauses the print. The material change wizards retracts 20mm at the end of the change process. After resuming the plugin (respectively the gcode) reverts it's retract of 5mm... (needless to say: it has no clue about the other retract value). The solution: change the retraction amount for the plugin to 20mm and it's fine again...(after reslicing of course...) To tweak it a bit further: i noticed still some oozing during the pause and got better results with even 21mm. BTW: if one uses the pause function of the firmware: it makes an additional retract with the amount of the "normal" retract setting (the same as during a print) - but this is another story....

These extrusion patterns look pretty similar to me. Perhaps the visible "under-extrusion marks" even are on similar z-heights...? That's why i had the idea with the z-screw...

Yep, but... - take this idea, combine it with the speed and accuracy an Ultimaker stands for...halve the price... and deliver it just before next christmas... I'm curious...

It appears to me that the test cylinders are also far from perfect... ...but the reason is not necessarily a clogged nozzle. I would check the attachment of the bowden tube - is all tight (especially during retractions)? Next: potentially an issue with the z-screw...?. Is it clean, well lubricated and moves smoothly? Important: use only the included grease or something similar for the z-screw.

Woodfill fine works with the standard nozzle... more often than not... "keep it flowing" is the key - indeed. Any news about the progress of the next batch of custom blocks...? (i'm still curious...impatiently - i know...)

Not in-depth.. We're still looking for someone who wants to write the documentation - you are interested...? Readme from GitHub: Changelist for this fork: [*]new branch geek_mode [*](re-)activated PID-controlling for the printbed temperature [*]added new menu option: Maintenance -> Advanced -> Expert settings (activate the "Geek mode" there) [*]in "Geek mode" the build-plate wizard is moved into the maintenance menu, the "Advanced" step is skipped [*]Redesigned printing screen displaying the Z stage and some tuning parameters [*]"instant tuning" - select a parameter and change the target value directly on the printing screen For more information follow the appropriate discussion on the Ultimaker forum Have fun!

First, you could take a look into the assembly manual (from page 49). You can take the photos and the instructions as a reference. Or perhaps post your own photos here for comparison...?

If you've got this... - check the explanation here.

Interesting idea! Do you plan a batch production? If you need testers... feel free to ask me... Alternativly: are you willing to sell some prototypes..?

I don't know Simplify3D, but i think you will need a few more lines around the "M0" command. Just a suggestion: you could slice the model with Cura and use the "PauseAtZ" plugin. Then take a look at the generated gcode to get an idea... AFAIK it makes a retract, moves the head out of the way and then pauses the print with M0. After resuming it moves the head back to the former position, reverts the retract and continues the print (it's not rocket science...). Of course the print head can be moved - you just have to avoid to do this "by hand"... ... but this would be pretty unlikely, because the steppers keep enabled during the pause - so don't worry! To find the correct position in the gcode file just search for the appropriate z-coordinate. Why do you need line numbers...?

You're right, the "a" isn't documented yet... (this is a characteristic trait for developers... documentation is annoying... - i trusted that no one will notice... ) There was a small bug related to the "Abort" function. There was no way back to the main menu after aborting a print. This is fixed with the "a".

There are some helpful explanations in this thread. It's pretty easy...but you will need some sort of a cad program anyway (to create the model), or do i miss something?

Oh no, i didn't want to scare you... (are you always online...?) I just had opened the related file already... :grin: ...but... wait a minute - this is a praise in any case, isn't it? ...first, i want to forward this to my wife... :cool:

Ja, irgendwas passt immer noch nich... Ich habs mir grad nochmal in Cura 14.12.1 und 15.01 angesehen - sieht anders aus, als bei Dir... . Unten stehen die relevanten Einstellungen, die ich verwendet habe. Wenn es gar nicht hinzubekommen ist, kannst Du mir gerne eine email-Adresse per PN schicken, dann schicke ich Dir mal testweise das komplette Cura-Profil, das ich verwendet habe, oder gleich die gcode-Dateien... layer_height = 0.08 wall_thickness = 1.2 retraction_enable = True solid_layer_thickness = 1.2 fill_density = 20 nozzle_size = 0.4 print_speed = 40 print_temperature = 220 print_bed_temperature = 70 support = None platform_adhesion = Brim filament_diameter = 2.85 bottom_thickness = 0.0 layer0_width_factor = 100 object_sink = 0.0 overlap_dual = 0.15 travel_speed = 150 bottom_layer_speed = 20 infill_speed = 0.0 inset0_speed = 0.0 insetx_speed = 0.0 cool_min_layer_time = 8 fan_enabled = True skirt_line_count = 1 skirt_gap = 3.0 skirt_minimal_length = 150.0 fan_full_height = 4 fan_speed = 100 fan_speed_max = 100 cool_min_feedrate = 10 cool_head_lift = False solid_top = True solid_bottom = True fill_overlap = 15 spiralize = False simple_mode = False brim_line_count = 10 fix_horrible_union_all_type_a = False fix_horrible_union_all_type_b = False fix_horrible_use_open_bits = False fix_horrible_extensive_stitching = False

:?: Have i missed this...? Or is there still something...

Zur Not kannst Du in Cura ein wenig mit der "Nozzle size" schummeln. Versuch mal 0.39 (statt 0.4) einzutragen und kontrolliere die layer view.

Too late... :roll: "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."
