Should I upload it remotely to the SD from my UM2 the next time?
Depends. If it stops extruding but keeps moving then it's not the USB issue. If it stops moving all axes for no good reason then suspect the USB.
Ok, the axes never stopped moving imo
But for now all looks perfect with the Colorfabb and ICE PLA. I'm going to try faberdashery PLA on spools soon, because too many people compliment that PLA.

@frederiekpascal I was thinking about some post where you said you print by usb. You upload the gcode and then print from the sd remotely or you remotely order a computer to print via usb to the printer? Just asking because direct usb printing it's know to fail sometimes and can make the print just 'stop' from an electrical failure on the usb data transfer.
Just wondering
Yes, the Raspberry Pi is directly connected to my UM2 and I upload the gcode with Octoprint. I think my files are located on the micro-SD from my Rasp. This also goes a lot faster than uploading it to the SD from my UM2.
The Raspberry is only used for Octoprint for my UM2 and nothing else.
Should I upload it remotely to the SD from my UM2 the next time?

I wish the search results allowed you to sort by newest to oldest.
It works...a bit. But is a struggle, I agree
agreed! And much more filters offered after the search results, now I get spanish threads from 2012 first etc etc. Never underestimate the value of a good search tool imo, especially on a forum!

Ow boy, today I found out that the runtime stats for "printing" don't go up when you print through USB. So I'm stuck at 766 print hours.
Good thing to resell your printer in the future imo, only X hours printed sir!
-
I must always change the setting as my models are tiny (miniatures).
can you post a few screenshots of you S3D settings?
-
oops nvm, didn't know it was in the dropbox link included, sorry

@Dim3nsioneer what's the link of that test file please?
cheers

Since the feeder, regardless of how awesome it is, is not stock Ultimaker, can we rule this out as a troublemaker?
Yes, please try this. I always get nervous when people are having trouble with their printer and they're also using my feeder... I would feel really, really bad if it turns out that the feeder is the source of the problem.
no no no no
I had the same issues (even worse) with the standard filament feeder. Your feeder is much better because it gives me more control of my machine. Anyway I think many of my problems were cause by bad filament of Ultimaker.
Also, I would like to see Ultimaker releasing :
- a new and better metal fan shroud, take @labern as an example but only in metal
- Robert's feeder
- Olsson block (already done, good job UM
)My precious is printing for +20 hours right now and all seem to be ok. I'm using another brand of PLA now.

@Crcic You should give another fresh spool of PLA a try. I had so much troubles with some spools of PLA, you don't want to read that story
.I always print between 20mm/s and 50mm/s, you can try to lower your print speed too and see how much it differs.
Good luck, it's a true adventure!
-
Did you try to print the same model with normal PLA? You can try that to see how it's printed in PLA compared to your woodfill-trial
Because, your model doesn't look like an easy one to print anyway.
I followed the Colorfabb settings they recommended and my first test print in woodfill came out just fine. (a simple marvin though
)
-
When I saw this from @gr5 :
Print slower and hotter! Here are top recommended speeds for .2mm layers (twice as fast for .1mm layers):
20mm/sec at 200C
30mm/sec at 210C
40mm/sec at 225C
50mm/sec at 240C
I decided to throw this data in an excel file so I could figure out the temperatures for the other layer heights.
This is what I came up with
Great reference for me personally as a beginner.
If you see any errors, let me know!

Google search is working better for this forum right now. They really should fix the search on this forum...
@SandervG promised an improved search, what's the ETA of this feature anyway?

I just bought a copy Friday since my friends are using it a lot with great success. I seemed to be the only one using Cura.
I'm going through the tutorials now on how to use it, the interface is a lot different than Cura.
How are your experiences so far, do you like the software?
I never looked back to Cura since I'm using S3D. I did receive a lot of help from this community to tweak my S3D though.
(thnx @Neotko! )-

What program is that where you are monitoring it?
-
I won't buy any more Colorfabb XT until they start selling in standard 1Kg spools instead of .75Kg spools.
I wonder when something is a standard in your opinion?, all these sellers/manufacturers sell on 0.75 Kg spools... so I'd say in Europe at least this is the standard.
innofil3d / fillamentum / ultimaker / formfutura / makerpoint / faberdashery
Colorfabb does sell some of its material in 2.2 Kg spools for a significantly less price/Kg
Is it possible to use Robert's low friction spool holder in combination with the 2.2 kg spools of Colorfabb?
-
Trying another brand of PLA right now. ICE filaments it is now on the spool and so far so good. Printing for 4 hours with the same S3D settings as always. (a bit adjusted with the feedback from my beloved community people <3)
Anyway, I will not buy any Ultimaker PLA for now anymore. Because I had troubles with several colours, not only with silver like many people.
Currently printing : VR cover for a project with ICE PLA.
Fingers crossed I'll succeed but so far so good, it looks great so far!

Did you try 1,00 or 1,50mm minimum retract distance as I wrote on previous answers?
Also. Are you using IRobertI feeder or standard. Also. Try to relax the spring of the feeder. Maybe it's just way too tight.
Yes same result, today my printer doesn't want to go further than the brim....
This was on 0.2 layerheight, 30mm/s and 210°C and retraction 1,00mm. But he didn't have the time to retract, it already failed before that
-
I have the most recent version of the firmware and I'm using S3D indeed. (where's that forum for us btw?
:p)The start looks quite good to me...
S3D doesn't use the firmware retractions, but generates it's own gcode sequences.
Your best options:
- show us the retraction settings
- "play" with "Extra Restart Distance", "Coast" and "Wipe"
- slice it with Cura (just to eliminate a slicing problem)
Edit: probably it's better to try this in reversed order...?
Here they are gnome
and
cheers
- show us the retraction settings
-
What about if you update the latest firmware and slice with Cura? (I read somewhere you use simplify3D?)
I have the most recent version of the firmware and I'm using S3D indeed. (where's that forum for us btw?
:p) -
Update: I thought my precious was back up & running again but as soon as it starts retracting it goes terrible wrong :(
I have no clue how to fix this
Everything is almost replaced so...
-
Ok here we go with the promised photos.
This is how I found my feeder when I arrived at my office...
I did a few atomic pulls and these were the results.
As promised, I replaced my teflon. This is how the teflon looked like. (@LePaul you see that it was in a not so bad condition right?
)
And this is how my hot end and washer looked like.
This is btw how my failed print looked like this morning :
My teeth for @SandervG
Not a very big blob but a little one today (for @gr5)
and the grinded filament
Teflon was replaced, adjusted my S3D settings again and the printer is printing right now again. Fingers crossed now and thanks a lot for taking care of my issues folks.
-
looks awesome
are the STL's available? -
It's brand new imo, they released it today?
-
You have mentioned before that you have an I2k washer. Have you checked to make sure this is sitting properly at the bottom of the steel nut? There must be no gaps between this, the nozzle block and coupler.
yep I know, checked this several times. The l2k is in position.

Strange noise from Robert's feeder....
in UltiMaker 3D printers
Posted
Hey guys,
As from today my feeder makes a weird noise....
I made a small clip for you all because I cannot describe this kind of noise.
Anybody who knows what the reason for this "grinding noise" is?
