    Temperature setting.

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted

    gr5,

    Thank you so much for the explanation, there is simply so much to learn on 3D printing, and this forum is why I choose the Ultimaker 2.

    Others have said that ABS smells bad like burnt plastic, but both my wife and I can smell PLA after 2 hours in a 4 hour print. Does anyone (or maybe everyone does already) use some type of an exhaust system?

    I have only printed 3 items at 210C which wasn't bad, but I just out of curiosity and per a tech at fbrc8 (called them originally on temp and original "bead" not sticking to bed) they said to adjust head temp to 220C or even 230C.

    So I printed 3 more of the same items at 220C and it makes the PLA smell almost unbearable. Maybe my nose is to sensitive, therefore in order to enjoy more 3D printing, I am looking for a good type of exhaust fan.

    Bottom line though, my grand total of 6 pieces that I printed plus the robot, all turned out pretty good.

    Again, thank you and the forum!

    Newbie!

    Ah, right. Now that you mention it I do remember seeing that.

    Changed it how and where? I could hardly forget using the Tune menu, and you said above that a new print with Cura would reset the temperature back to default (*). If the temp sensor has failed after only two weeks then I'll not be best pleased.

    (*) Are you still sure about that? In the materials menu I see PLA, ABS and Custom. ISTM possible that non-default values could be stored in "Custom" and would apply until I explicitly selected PLA again from that menu.

     

    Hello,

    My first post but on your last section question (I have just received a ultimaker 2 if they helps because of possible rev changes) - wasn't answered:

    You asked: if in the materials menu I see PLA, ABS and Custom. ISTM possible that non-default values could be stored in "Custom" and would apply until I explicitly selected PLA again from that menu.

    I am curious also, do settings in custom hold for temperature etc. Or if you answered it, forgive my newbieness

    Thanks!
