Hi guys
Using: UM2+
Using Rec.ru ABS material
Having: mostly enclosed UM chamber for better prints.
The new beta Cura fails hard on me, aside of being a good 2-3 times slower in calculation the print results are horrible.
I am not even able to print the ABS raft, I've heavy wrapping of the second layer without bonding.
At exactly same settings (also tried standard settings) as on the standard cura.
No idea how to make that program work at all ;(
About the 15.04 cura:
1) There is a print speed setting in the standard expert tab, does it have ANY influence ?
I found a lot of print speed settings in the Advanced tab that seem to have influence.
2) Is it possible to set temperature in Cura ?
In the new cura I could set it without effect, in the old one I can set ABS/PLA in simple version but not in expert mode and it seems to have no influence.
Is it only defined by printer settings ? If so, how to print the first layer hotter than the others!?
I tried it in new cura and the temperature was completely ignored.
I found a general problem with ABS printing (and PLA but less obvious)
The ultimaker starts to print a string of filament in front left corner, then it moves to the print dragging that string of "crap" behind it and often moving it into the model/raft/brim causing a failure.
The best solution I found so far is to just let it flow on the side and then hold it when the print starts, that causes it to break off or get very thin and not causing issues in the print.
Without manually doing something it ruins a good 80% of all prints.
