I have a UM3 that I want to print a file using print head 1 , and then at a certain layer height switch to print head 2.

how do I achieve this?

thanks for your time it's appreciated.

Instead of File->Open you could try dropping the file on the Cura window. This bypasses the file dialog, which seems to be the cause of the crash according to @nallath. Not a solution, but a workaround.

this is working as a temp solution.

I'm wondering what the actual cause is though. It crashes the same way if I try load a material profile etc.

my UM2's Led's have become extremely dim. I remember them being very bright and they've slowly gotten worse and worse.

is this a common issue?

suggested fix?

October 13, 2017

what should I do at this point ? I have this happening on 2 different machines both running Cura 2.7 ... I've tried uninstalling and resintalling cura completely fresh. Same results.

October 12, 2017

Anyone know if this is possible? 200x200x63 mm on a UM3 Extended using only a single extruder?

I can get it to fit on my UM2 but I can't seem to get it fit on UM3

please help!

It was not created by me. I don't believe it's a corrupt stl, as I am able to get it to open after multiple attempts of it failing/ crashing the app. If I open another STL first , that one is sometimes successful other times fails as well. I can't seem to find a pattern to it.

Additionally, every time I go to File/ Open Files ... the Open files window appears but then Cura will crash a few seconds later, even if I do not select any file.

October 11, 2017

Can you get an STL with dimensions 200 x 200 x 63 mm to fit on the build plate of a UM3 Extended for use with single extruder??

I have been trying for hours to get this to fit and no matter what I do I can't get it to.

October 11, 2017

Cura 2.7 is crashing anytime I try to open an stl file via file/open

The same happens when trying to load a profile as well.

If I drag and drop an stl file onto the build plate it's saying failed to load.

What the heck is going on??

October 10, 2017

Try removing all brim and support and see if that helps. Make sure Cura understands that this is a single nozzle print - you lose about 20mm (distance between the nozzles) on dual nozzle prints.

How do we tell Cura it's a single nozzle print?

October 10, 2017

I'm trying to print an stl that is 200.0 x 200.0 x 63.0 mm

is this possible on a UM3 Extended? I only need single extrusion.

Is there a way to turn off dual extrusion to gain the additional space?

August 18, 2017

I have an stl file that contains numerous parts.

I need to split this stl file into seperate stl's or parts to be able to print them each individually.

I thought you used to be able to right click and select split object?

in Cura 2.6.2 I do not have that option when right clicking on the stl?

Thanks for any help on this... hopefully i'm just missing something easy here.

ColorFabb Cura Material Profiles UM3? · August 3, 2017

i'm looking for a cura material profile for a UM3 for colorfabb nGen and colorfabb XT filaments...

anyone able to help me out?

Thanks

March 10, 2015

Currently using cura version 15.01

Have not tried slicing with any other version... ran the stl through netfab.

I may try upgrading the latest version of cura.

I also cut the stl so I can print just part of the plate and the vertical "tower" for testing.

would changing the shell thickness possibly fix this?

If i look at layer view there doesnt seem to be anything strange at those layers with the movements of the head.

Will work on getting a video posted during the print of those troublesome spots.

March 8, 2015

Yes both side fans are running at 100% after the first couple layers, and verified working.

I've re-leveled the bed a few times and attempted additional repeats of the print with the same results.

I will try printing at the 200 C and slowing the speed down next. I was hoping to get away with the 50mms print speed as everything else prints nicely with this model.

Yes the model is mine, I will try chamfering to see if it makes a difference.

Wall thickness is .8mm do you think increasing the wall thickness would help with the problem areas? If so what thickness would you suggest attempting?

Thanks for the input guy's this is driving me nuts!

March 6, 2015

Thanks for the help guy's I really do appreciate it....

Please find the new images below... I apologize for the terrible images above.

Printing Colorfaab PLA/PHA @ 210 C , 35 % infill, 50mm/s printing speed

Printed with support touching buildplate at 10% grid for underneath main switch plate.

March 4, 2015

I'm trying to figure out why on the vertical portion of this print I am getting a portion of the edge that is not smooth. I do not believe it's the STL because when I rotate the object and then print it in a different direction the issue changes sides.

Thanks for any suggestions the help is greatly appreciated.

January 31, 2015

I have a um2 currently and was going to purchase a um2 extended as well as I thought the x and y axis were also going to be larger. My question at this point since the dual extrusion is not going to happen with these printers is what is actually going to be different other then z axis height? Will there be an improved feeder with the release of the um2 extended ? Any information anyone can provide on the specs and differences is greatly appreciated.

January 25, 2015

I have same problem... however I only have it with ultimaker filament, if i put a spool of colorfabb in it works amazingly

January 25, 2015

Yeah I have a um2 that i love but really want the dual extrusion feature, would love to have seen it on the um2 extended. I purchased a solidoodle workbench for the dual extruders and size.... that was a mistake all around though...

January 23, 2015

I use a 3d mouse as well and love it, it would be great to have it work with Cura

January 18, 2015

I've been using ultimaker pla filament since I got my um2 a month ago. I've been suffering with under extrusion problems.

I just got some reels of colorfabbs pla/pha filament and wow is it amazing. Quality of prints has drastically increased and I haven't experienced under extrusion with it yet.

Time will tell but all in all .. a noticeable step up in quality and actually less expensive for me.

January 15, 2015

Hey everyone,

Having a strange scenario whenever i change filament in a UM2

After the filament ejects there is a super fine strand of filament left in the bowden tube and still attached to the end of the 2.85mm end of the filament.

I can carefully pull on this for what seems like it is much longer then actual length of the bowden tube.

Is this an indicator of a bad coupler or other part?

Any ideas what would cause this or is this completely normal? I don't remember this happening when the printer was brand new.

The printer itself is only a couple months old now and I've only printed with PLA.

I'm also suffering from under extrusion issues.

Thanks for everyone's time it's greatly appreciated!
