  1. I recently got an UM3 ext. I'm trying to print out the gyro using a prime tower. When the gyro is loaded into Cura 3.0 and when I go into layer view the prime tower is not showing up. I'm not sure why, any suggestions?

  2. Where should the indicator block be on the material feeder? Currently it seems like it too much and the heater block is not melting the material fast enough(standard PLA settings), I'm getting a lot of that clicking sound. Currently mine has been at the top line since I got the printer.

  3. I wonder what version of Cura you are using? Basis tab should have the extruder temp under Speed and Temp., unless it has been moved in one of the later versions. I cannot see it anywhere and it is err vital!

    We need that, but for the moment note...

    I would set your print, infill, interior wall, exterior wall speed settings to the same speed - just set the last four to 0. Whenever you change speed the pressure in the extruder changes and takes time to stabilise will cause for a short period of time some under/over extrusion which can cause artefacts to appear on the surface. If you want to go back to you settings after your problem is fixed, fine.

    Personally I would set the minimum layer time to 10 secs, I think 5 is a bit low although some  people get away with it.

    You don't  want the whole thing to print; either start and then stop or sink the model into the bed and start at the square peg round hole part.

     

    Thanks for the suggestions, I will try them. I'm currently using 15.04 Cura.

  4. I'm currently running PLA white(Colorfabb) on my UM 2 ext. I don't have the fill at 100%, and wanted to know why the outside surfaces are not solid or without holes. I have run other parts with 25% fill and the outside surface did not look like this. Current part density is 50%.

  5. When I run the spool of UPET that was sent with my Ultimaker2, it runs for a while then I get the heater error message in the display and told to contact Ultimaker. I turn off printer and turn back on it clears the error. Anyone else ever have this problem?

  6. you make it. from acetone and ABS filament. Its the only way it will stick. Google it. but dont make it too thin or too thick. it needs to be runny and waterlike when you are applying it. everyone has different methods of applying it. i just pour it on a tissue and rub it on the glass tring not to overlap the last bit so no buliding up any layers.

     

    Ok, thanks.

  7. Ok, seeing all these different settings, I'm using Ultimaker ABS black on the Ultimaker 2 extended with glue on the bed and still the material is not sticking to the bed. It's peeling up.

    My settings:

    Print temp: 250C

    Bed temp: 110C

    Fans: 0%

    Flow: I have not adjusted.

    The setting for Print temp and bed temp are from the fbrc8 support analyst. Any other suggestions wouls be helpful, as this is my time using a 3D printer.

  8. Is there a color or desert tan or olive green available? I work for military contractor and would like to make parts in desert tan and or olive green. Also, can you use other suppliers for material?
