I really would like to test the tinkergnome, but is there a way to go back to the default firmware afterwards? if yes, how?

Or you could upgrade with Olsson block like I did. Best upgrade so far for my Ultimaker 2.

ow OK, my bad :-) The default start.gcode is : ;Sliced at: {day} {date} {time} ;Basic settings: Layer height: {layer_height} Walls: {wall_thickness} Fill: {fill_density} ;Print time: {print_time} ;Filament used: {filament_amount}m {filament_weight}g ;Filament cost: {filament_cost} ;M190 S{print_bed_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own bed temperature line ;M109 S{print_temperature} ;Uncomment to add your own temperature line G21 ;metric values G90 ;absolute positioning M82 ;set extruder to absolute mode M107 ;start with the fan off G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops G28 Z0 ;move Z to min endstops G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length G1 F200 E3 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again G1 F{travel_speed} ;Put printing message on LCD screen M117 Printing... default end.gcode : ;End GCode M104 S0 ;extruder heater off M140 S0 ;heated bed heater off (if you have it) G91 ;relative positioning G1 E-1 F300 ;retract the filament a bit before lifting the nozzle, to release some of the pressure G1 Z+0.5 E-5 X-20 Y-20 F{travel_speed} ;move Z up a bit and retract filament even more G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops, so the head is out of the way M84 ;steppers off G90 ;absolute positioning ;{profile_string} which one should I use? Or do I need adjustments to any of the codes?

Hey, There seems to be low activity on the forum but the people who are on the board have been quite helpful to me. For the people who don't like the layout, don't forget this link where you can adjust your forum settings. :-) I got rid of all the forums I didn't need and the big header on top and now it looks clean. Also they feature to choose how many topics you can see in the first view is awesome. Now I got 10 topics for the popular forums and the default 3 topics for the less populated forums. cheers!

I've been reading this board and several threads about octoprint and reprap. It looks like the default end and start code is not the best to use. Currently it is : start.gcode : G28G1 X110 Y45 F3000 ; bring extruder to the frontG92 E0 ; zero the extruded lengthG1 Z30 ; lowerG1 E50 F225 ; purge nozzle with 50mm of filamentG1 X80 Y60 F3000 ; move aside of the puddle of primed plasticG92 E0 ; zero the extruded length again end.gcode : G28M104 S0 ; turn off heatersM140 S0 ; turn off bedM84 ; disable motors But that doesn't seem to be the perfect codes to use with Octoprint? Anybody who can help me out with tweaking this code to use with my Ultimaker2? Thanks in advance

thanks gnome!

nvm, the new version of cura doesn't have the feature to change the gcode flavor installed an old version and all ok now!

anybody who can help me out?

any tutorial online about this? cause I don't understand how to get into the machine settings, sorry :s

in Cura 15.06.03 on Mac? are you sure? cause I checked all settings available and no gcode flavor setting....

Topic says it all Is there a way to enable reprap mode in Cura 15.06.03 on Mac? I'd like to know it for my Octoprint with my Raspberry Pi. Thanks a lot!

Hello Didier, These were my settings : About the colour, it's an Ice filament and here are the details : http://www.trideus.be/nl/ice-filaments-pla-glamorous-gold.html

As promised some feedback. I've been reading the past few days about tips & tricks for my Ultimaker 2. This is a new print and I'm quite proud about it too More to come, more complex prints are coming and I'll keep you guys posted. THANKS A LOT, this was not possible without you guys. Much appreciated! <3

I case you didn't read this : okay got it, so minimum fan speed 30% and max 100% right?

yeps all the same, bought in the same shop Trideus http://www.icefilaments.com/ I think these are their own branded filaments. Sold on the trideus site : http://www.trideus.be/nl/filament/pla/ice-filaments-pla/ You think I'll have better luck with the ultimaker of colorfabb filaments?

These changes will make very little difference. In general glass is an improvement over blue tape but blue tape worked fine for many years as long as you clean it with alcohol to remove the wax. But you seem to have more serious issues. The back of the chair is starting to look better but the lower part is a mess and I can't tell what it's supposed to look like. It appears that maybe you have underextrusion so I would go 10mm/sec slower on the printing part (and yes 150mm/s on travel) and I would go 10C hotter - your temp sensor may be off by 10 or 30C and that can cause your printer to print too cool (or hot) and too cool means plastic is viscous (like toothpaste instead of honey) so maybe 10C hotter will help. I wouldn't go over 240c until you have things working well. Can you print something simpler maybe that I know what I'm looking at? A 1 cm X 1cm X 1cm cube maybe? will try that too and keep you posted, about the small stuff, i've printed small objects without an issue : it's with the more complex objects that it's going wrong

okay got it, so minimum fan speed 30% and max 100% right?

minimum and maximum speed is 100% now, to what should I change it?

it's default on 0.5mm so i should put it on 0.8mm right? it's the "fan full on height" setting right?

Ok maybe Neotko or somebody else can help me out with the advanced cooling en retraction settings?

okay, any tips for the cooling and retraction settings?

Hi, This is the model I tried to print : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:158240 About the retraction and fan settings, I haven't enabled extra settings for this part in Cura. I use Cura 15.06.03 and I can enable and disable cooling fan and retraction with no extra settings. Both settings are enabled. Should I enable some of the advanced settings for retraction and fan settings? Which ones and what should be the perfect settings for this model? As what I read now, these are my changes for the next print. - remove the blue tape and clean the glass before I print (Didierklein) - adjust travel speed to 150mm/s (Neotko) anything else I'm missing here?

Hello Didier from Belgium! Here are my settings : PLA Printbed 60° Printing temp 210° Flow 100% Layer height 0,08mm Shell thinkness 0.8mm Enable retraction : yes Printspeed : 30mm/s Travelspeed : 120mm/s Printspeed botom layer : 20mm/s Infill 15% No support and no platform adhesion Extra question: Is there a way to view the settings of a gcode file used in Cura? About the blue tape... that's what they advised me at the shop Trideus...

hey guys, I made some progress ... From : To : But as you can see, still not the 3D print that I want. Any tips of what I'm doing wrong? kind regards

The second "only" belgium reseller http://www.ideato3d.be/en/shop/ Ow I didn't know. I went through https://ultimaker.com/en/resellers and there was only 1 reseller on the map for Belgium
