Have we got a new Beta version of this disaster? I really like the idea of some of the features.

here is my log file cura.log

I haven’t done any deleting so I’ll dig for the logs. Keeps crashing and then not responding when I select UM3. Doesn’t do it with UM2+ though which is strange.

I'd look into having the option for the user to mount the material on the side with the extruder towards the front. making it easier to load the material. have a heated enclosure as part of the machine. have a way to open the extruder for easy access for cleaning the feeder wheel whithout having to unscrew the whole thing. Four point bed levelling instead of the three currently used. Make the front frame a bit wider making it easier to take out the glass plate. Add a rubber mat, removable floor inside the printer making it easier to clean out the bottom of the printer. just a few ideas

well I tried this again but instead of adding my UM3 I added UM2+ and it worked so I then tried to add UM3 and the software died, crashed, closed down ...... don't know why this is.

Hiya, well it is the least stable Beta I've come across. for some reason I had 3 ABS profiles so I tried to delete two. Boom it crashed. I tried to restart but i got the configuration page after agreeing with the warning. then it crashed again. tried another time and I got stuck in a loop selecting UM3 on the affore mentioned page with a flicker of the page each time. the adaptive layers is pretty pants. great idea but the finish is poor. it seems that the layer adjust but not the extrusion rate. any way, think this one might need a shit load more work.

fair one. the poly box has no heating though. unless they changed it recently

sweet, big thank you for sharing. I bricked my machine whilst adjusting the files for the Bondtech set up. used the win32diskimager and followed your directions and boom back in business. image file seems to have today's firmware release on it as it says it's up to date on the firmware. fair one. muchosgrassyarse dude. Bex

much appreciated. it works really well and a lot cheaper lol.

@cdrose Glad to hear that it is helping you. did you modify the case like mine or just using it to dry the spool. you might get away with higher temp. I have had it at 70 to dry mine out but if I print as I dry I tend to have it at 55 too. Bex

I second Kman's suggestion, got some suggestions about the build plate and printcores. could be handy for the UM4 or maybe a job offer for me lol Bex

hiya all, glad the food dehydrator is of interest

I am getting command not found for sendgcode

this is what I am working with

It's saying command not found. I am typing sendgcode.G28 Z0 I've also tried sendgcode G28 Z0

I am going to need a little more help. I thought that I could do it through putty but it's not recognising the commands I did try through browser but that didn't seem to get me any where cheers Rebekah Anderson

thank you for that. I know, the bricking issue is at the for front of my mind but there is something bugging me about the upgrade I did and want to check it before I start getting emotional about it. will let you know how it goes. Rebekah Anderson

Hiya, I was wondering how I could instruct the UM3 to move filament by 100mm and check to see if it does actually move by 100mm. thus confirming the steps per mm. cheers Rebekah Anderson

hiya, it is, I am building a 1/14 scale version. the boom reach at maximum is 3 meters without the fly jib. the boom sections are working well, although I could do with fine tuning their assembly but using piano wire and fixing them into the boom under tension seems to work well. bex

hiya, Thank for the reply. at the moment with all the firmware up to date and latest cura, I can't use the print core profile in cura relevant to the third party print core. really wish there was a way for the user to create profiles on the eeprom for third party. would you or have you already released the format of the script that's on the print core so others could program a third party print core?

Hiya, the food dehydrator is pretty spot on. if it's water logged then leave it for a while at about 50 deg. Bex

hiya, this is where I am at. it's big and the boom is working out very well. I found micro stepper motors which will work for the carrier that locks into the boom sections. Rebekah Anderson

Hiya, I just wanted to find out if I can set the print core profile in the printer. I use third party cores along side UM cores and found that it defaults to 0.4mm when I select 0.25mm in cura it refuses to print unless it matches the print core in the printer. any work arounds or solutions other than setting the print line widths? many thanks Rebekah Anderson

I have to admit that’s so funny. Harsh but funny.

I have found that ABS doesnt stick well to PVA and the warp factor comes into play. however it does work in most cases. Aquasolve from form futura claims to work with ABS etc... I am yet to test this but it would be great if it does. Aquasolve
