  1. So far its still printing. Will only know tomorrow. ;). However, now I got a new problem :(. The print bed start to shakes/ vibrate when its doing the infill. I tune the speed down to 70% and it seen to not shake as much.

    My speed setting is

    Print Speed - 50

    Infill Speed - 80

    Top/Botton - 15

    Travel speed 120

    I did not change any setting under the infill and Top/Bottom. There wasnt any vibration where I was using the old cura software.

  2. Hi Guys. I believe it could be the 3mm filament. I had another failed print and this time when I try to remove the left over filament from the tube, it much harder to pull it out. I'm using whatever 2.85 filament I have left to print now just to be sure.

    You can have a look at the 3mm filament brand from the image. I dont have a proper caliper to check if its anywhere more then 3mm... :(

    Do you guys have any advice or work around for this? Dont think I can request my supplier to change the filament to the correct size for me as they insisted that is not the problem. Will removing the tube or adding oil into the tube temperately help?

    Thanks !

  3. I just recendly change a 2.85mm PLA filament to a 3mm PLA filament. It printed ok at first, than I start getting problem like the filament wont come out and there will be a clicking sound from the feeder from time too time. Please help! I tried cleaning the nozzle twice already and it will still stop feeding the filament after a few hours. Im using ultimate 2 with the new cura 2.1.3.

  4. Here is a video I shoot. Was trying to print a 5cm size sphere. I set the print bed temperature to '0', print speed at 20 and fan at 100%... as you can see its still may give that deform bottom... I know I may have to break my model into parts to solve this problem. But I just trying to find ways to minimize the need for that.

    Tried the customize temperature setup. Nice! I did not know that. Still which to have cura have the temperature setting back in. I sometime forget to set the temperature first before i start to print. I dont want to change it half way as it will easily break on the lay that the temperature was changed.

     

  5. I can over-right the default PLA temp? I will try it tomorrow! I think I going to off the heated bed first and maybe applying the glue stick to try the rounded base print.

    Still... now Im puzzled by why I dont have the temperature setup in my cura?

     

    It is possible to set the temp in cura but it's MUCH easier to simply modify your PLA settings on your UM2.  Go to the filament menu and choose CUSTOMIZE.  Change the temp to 200C then scroll to the bottom and save it and then choose where to save it to: PLA.  That last step is not obvious (choose where to save it to).

    Then always in the future it PLA will have a new printing temp.  Note that if you print on tape (which you don't) 200C is much too cold for the bottom layer but with a heated bed even 180C is plenty warm enough.

  6. Well, based on the drawing and subscription I would say it sounds like over extruding, but that doesn't really happen that often.

    Are you printing with Ultimaker filament?

    What filament diameter did you set in Cura?

    Is your flowrate (in the tune settings) still 100%?

    Does it only look like so when printing, but in the end the surface quality is good?

    - or does it also leave strange artifacts on your surface?

    So far. Most object I printed are ok as it has a flat base. I only notice this problem when I start printing my own model ( round base object ). Yes the flowrate is 100. I think i am using Ultimaker's filament ( my first roll ). I not sure about the diameter :p I will need to check tomorrow. Over extruding? but after it printed to a high, it start to look normal.

  7. What settings do you mean?

    For the Ultimaker Original+ you can select all the settings you need in Cura. So usually you shouldn't need to change anything prior to a print.

    But if you must know, you can create your own profiles in Cura.

    Most settings are saved from your previous slice.

    Depending on what settings you want to tweak you could also create 'a new machine' with your special settings.

    For the plug in, if you enter 6mm, the pauze will be at a 6mm height.

    For you you can not yet click on a place in your 3D view to select the spot where you want it to pauze.

    By default, My print temperature will always go to 210. But I want it to always start with 200 or lesser. How do I do that in cura?

  8. It could also very well be the heat radiation coming from the heated bed.

    I am assuming you have an Ultimaker 2?

    Try to slice it at 60micron, a low printing temp like 190º and 35mm/s (if this works depends on each color or filament manufacturer, so tweak at will) and turn off the heated bed. Instead, use blue M3 tape for adhesion.

    Rotate the part with the overhang towards the (for the viewer) left fan, that may also help.

    Good luck!

    Yes SandervG! Im using Ultimaker2. How do I set 60micron in Cura? 0.06mm? Hmm... I will try that. What about the other problem? I notice the nozzle been pushed against the printed object like rubber. Is my print bed set to close to the nozzle?

  9. The only really good way to deal with overhangs is to use good cooling, do you have that on your printhead?

    If you cant get proper results with that, you use support structure under the overhangs to give them something to build on, the cut them away after the print is done, and sand and polish the "scar"...

    You can create the supports yourself in your modeling program of choice, generate som clever ones using eg. meshmixer, or let your slicer generate some (less clever ones) for you...

    I did use meshmixer for this print but as I found out there will be alot of small bumps as its generated to support the rounded base. Has anyone successfully printed something like a sphere/ Xmas ornament in one print? Good cooling? You mean it has to cool the PLA faster to get a nicer shape? How do I mod my ultimater2 for this? I got limited resources...

  10. I got this strange dripping artifacts on the bottom of my 3d model. I know is cost by overhands but is there a way to fix this problem like temperate or print speed? I tried speed 30 and Temperate at 200 using PLA. I also notice that from the start of the bottom print. The nozzle is pushed into the printed base as it slowly print up from the bottom of the rounded base. Is my print bed set to close to the nozzle that it does not have enough space for the filament to set?

  11. Hi Guys! Just got my Ultimaker 2. Would like to know what are the must have 3D print mod I should do first on my Ultimaker 2? The Ultimaker Cable Chain? The new feeder from robert? The dust filter ? ( Where do I place this dust filter at? before the filament goes into the tube? ) Need advice. Thanks !!!
