[Hello from Greece]

Γεια χαρά. Ξέρω ότι έχει καιρό που έκανες το ποστ, αλλά μπας και ενδιαφέρεσαι ακόμα για αγορά ενός μεταχειρισμένου Ultimaker 2 σε άριστη κατάσταση (ελάχιστα χρησιμοποιημένος) ή/και για περισσότερα από 20 filament της Colorfabb; Αν ναι, επικοινώνησε μαζί μου στο tasopoulos@gmail.com. Σ' ευχαριστώ.

Χρήστος

[Help with STL model needed]

Maybe one of the "Fix Horrible A-B" boxes it ticked in the expert menu ?

 

Nope, neither of them is checked.

[Help with STL model needed]

Hi, tried to download the file to have a look, it does not work... I get an error.

 

Maybe try the STL instead? https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=8EA4064156DCB145!16864&authkey=!AJ9swrGO7O26huk&ithint=file%2cstl

[Help with STL model needed]

Try to run the STL file trough Netfabb's cloud fixing engine: https://netfabb.azurewebsites.net/

 

This didn't work either, it just capped the lip completely:

I guess maybe the error lies in that the lip itself is not capped around its perimeter? Is there someone who could fix the file manually for me?

[Help with STL model needed]

Hello all. I have this funnel model that I've been trying to slice, but I get a weird issue. The funnel is as pictured below (it has a slight lip on the inside, on the point where the cone and cylinder meet):

And while it shows just fine when imported in Cura...

... it does't slice correctly (there is a gap where the lip should be, and a round part is shown in the middle):

Could someone tell me how to fix this? I only have the file in .3ds format (https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=8EA4064156DCB145!16863&authkey=!AJJ57nA7-20esrY&ithint=file%2c3ds) and I converted it to .stl. Thanks in advance, guys and girls!

[Heater Error message, don't know what's wrong!]

Thank you once again, @Labern. Oh, and congrats on the 2nd place

[Heater Error message, don't know what's wrong!]

Thanks again @Labern. I started using the fans at 70% and it looks to be working fine so far (I will, of course, install the 35W heater as soon as it arrives).

I don't think this is related to the aforementioned problem, but I also started noticing that my first layer looks like this (it looks like it's transparent on a specific portion of the bed):

This is only on the first layer, all the other ones look ok:

Any ideas?

[Heater Error message, don't know what's wrong!]

Thanks, already ordered one from @DidierKlein. But isn't it weird that the error message started appearing a couple of months after installing the Olsson block?

[Heater Error message, don't know what's wrong!]

Which of the 2 solutions would you suggest @Labern?

[Heater Error message, don't know what's wrong!]

The shroud is fine (I only print with PLA, so I don't get temps >210C). Both times that I got the error the print was at around the 20th-25th layer (fans at 100%).

[Error - STOPPED Heater Error]

Hi all. I've been getting the Heater Error message on my UM2 lately as well. I had installed the Olsson block a couple of months ago, and I've had no problems whatsoever up until last week, when I got the Heater Error for the first time. I noticed that the temp sensor was loose inside the block (I pulled it from the back and it came right off), so I tightened the screw on the block and I thought my problem was solved. But the next day, after about an hour into the print, I got the dreaded Heater Error message again. This time the sensor was firmly fixed inside the block. I've been using izzy's shroud (https://www.youmagine.com/designs/um2-fan-duct-v2) and the stock 25W heater. Help!

[Olsson block nozzle question]

Thanks @meduza, I bought mine in October, so I doubt it's amongst the first 500 ones

[Olsson block nozzle question]

I don't know if this has been mentioned in another post (couldn't find it), but could someone tell me how much the maximum height of U2's print volume changes after you install the Olsson Block? I would imagine it goes from 205mm to something like 195-200mm? Thanks.

[Problems with RetractWhileCombing plug-in]

Yours look indeed like retraction issues. I didn't have any of those, but I did have lines that do not touch each other, probably indicating that my bed was not levelled as close to the head as it should.

[Problems with RetractWhileCombing plug-in]

Keyboard stand?

 

No, small foot that broke from my keyboard (on the left the broken part, on the right the 3D printed one):

Turned out quite nice (although, now that I look at it up close, my bed levelling was not right):

[Problems with RetractWhileCombing plug-in]

Thanks, I will try that and let you know. Would you please tell me the suggested values for Minimum Distance, Retract Speed and Retract Distance as well? I'm trying to print a small replacement foot for my keyboard:

[Problems with RetractWhileCombing plug-in]

 

@Dim3nsioneer I just started using the plugin myself. Regarding the layers count, do you mean that for a model with 55 layers, I should input 52 as starting layer no. and 54 as ending layer no. if I want the plugin on the last 3 layers? Also, could I use the plugin twice in the same model, and have the same settings for layers 0-2 as well? Thanks.

[Acetone Finishing on PLA]

Yep, saw that post after I had posted my reply... Maybe this will work: Preeeeeety pleeeeeeeease?

[Acetone Finishing on PLA]

and my latest, just ordered like 80euros worth of random specialist spray paints to experiment with, as i need to find an alternative to silver for electroplating as its just to darn expensive. this is just paint and not plated.

 

@cloakfiend Could you please share some links on where to buy spray paints like the ones you've been using? Preferrably some place where they ship in Europe (me being in Greece and all). Thanks!

[Meet Luke and his 3D printed e-NABLE hand]

 

@izzy I used Colorfabb's Pale Gold and Faberdashery's Traffic Red. I was aiming for an Ironman look, but the red turned more "pink-y" than I hoped.

[Meet Luke and his 3D printed e-NABLE hand]

Finished my test hand yesterday, overall I am quite pleased with the result (the 3D printing part at least, my elastics and flexsors are not as "tight" as they need to be):

Has anyone tried this yet? Looks promising, but unfortunately not available for Windows at the moment...
