  1. Hi,

    I'm looking for a "good" Ultimaker 3 single extrusion profile for S3D.

    I have seen the file from @neotko : https://ultimaker.com/en/community/23257-simplify3d-profile-for-ultimaker-3-basic-pla-pla-work-in-progress

    The UM2 S3D official profile is better.

    UM3 official profile :

    There is an issue with the retractation. I have tried coast at end 1mm, 2mm and 4mm. I have tried wipe 1mm.

    The retractation with the UM2 and the official S3D profile is far less visible.

    Do you have settings to share ?

    Thanks

    The Formlabs support today : "The warranty is for the product, so the printer would still have warranty."

     

    Have you contacted Ultimaker support? Because you quote Ultimaker and I quote Formlabs. Obviously Formlabs does not take this all that seriously in the scenario that you asked them about, so perhaps Ultimaker won't as well?

    I still claim that you may not even need warranty in this case. If the unit is less than a year old it will most likely, barring that I'm not well versed in french law, be under legal guarantee and you won't need to claim warranty against the seller at all.

    Perhaps @SandervG would be kind enough to clarify the official response to this particular question?

    Cheers

     

    Thanks. Yes I have contacted the french Ultimaker support "MakerShop", they told me there is no warranty for the buyer who buy a used Ultimaker under warranty period !

    Thanks @jonatanrullman for your feedback.

    For instance, Formlabs does not have this unacceptable rule of warranty.

     

    Np.

    I think that you will find that Formlabs does not agree on that point.

    "Formlabs warrants Formlabs-branded hardware products against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of one year from the date of retail purchase by the original end-user purchaser [...]"

  4. Bonjour à tous,

    Encore une fois je suis très déçu de l'attitude d'Ultimaker. J'ai acheté une Ultimaker 2+ Extended pendant la période de garantie, avec la facture d'origine. Le paneau led à droite clignotte régulièrement

    J'ai contacté MakerShop, gérant le SAV Ultimaker France qui m'a informé que la revente d'une Ultimaker annule toute garantie pour l'acheteur ! Plus de détails ici en anglais : https://ultimaker.com/en/resources/23230-ultimaker-2-extended-warranty

    J'ai contacté un concurrent lui aussi "haut de gamme" : Formlabs, qui m'ont confirmé qu'eux appliquent bien la garantie pour une machine acheté d'occasion.

    Il semblerait de plus que ce ne soit pas vraiment légal en France : http://www.argusdelassurance.com/jurisprudences/jurisprudence-ja/transfert-de-garantie-quand-le-sous-acquereur-engage-une-action-directe-contre-le-vendeur-originel-du-vehicule.63345

    Inutile donc d'acheter une Ultimaker d'occasion plus chère parce qu'elle est sous garantie, elle ne le sera pas !

  5. Hello,

    Again, I'm very disappointed by Ultimaker ! I have bought a used Ultimaker 2+ Extended during the warranty period. I have the original invoice. And the right led panel is blinking :

    I have contacted the french seller and they told me that if you buy a used Ultimaker, you cannot have a warranty ! https://ultimaker.com/en/resources/23230-ultimaker-2-extended-warranty

    Are you kidding Ultimaker ?

    This is unlawful in France : http://www.argusdelassurance.com/jurisprudences/jurisprudence-ja/transfert-de-garantie-quand-le-sous-acquereur-engage-une-action-directe-contre-le-vendeur-originel-du-vehicule.63345

  6. Don't do 75micron first layers (other layers are fine, just the first layer needs to be thicker to catch variations). That's simply asking for problems. The variations in the leveling measurement, the bed and the rods will cause you nothing but troubles.

     

    Thanks. The first layer is at 100 microns, do you suggest 150 microns ?

  7. Hi there,

    Welcome to the forums! :)

    PLA sticks to PVA (once you get your settings right), but PVA does not stick to PLA.  See the difference?  PVA does not like to be on top. ;)

    So, if you have a model where you need PVA to go over top of some PLA, then the current answer is to use the Horizontal Expansion option under Support (assuming Cura 2.3+) and expand the supports out so that all support parts are connected to the build plate.  I've used 3-5mm so far, depending on the model.

    It seems wasteful of the PVA, but currently that is what it takes to make PVA over PLA work. ... At least as I understand things.  I am still learning PVA myself.

    Anyway, hope this helps.  Good luck! :)

     

    Yes ! Sometimes if you need support inside the part, horizontal expansion does not work, and it's impossible to do print PVA on top of PLA.

  8. Normal window glass is flatter. But more fragile. So that is not to difficult, but impossible for us to reliably ship. And a bit of a safety hazard to put into our product by default.

    9 point leveling doesn't have to take a whole lot longer then what we have now. We are working on it, what we can do, is first measure the 3 points as we do now, and then with that data we have a pretty clear indication where the bed is, so we can start measuring very close to the bed after that. We can do the first 3 points with one nozzle, and then the other 9 with the other. So we combine the height difference measurement as well.

     

    It looks promising !
