  1. Yes and No, I prefer the hollow build tower in Cura Beta insteadIMG_2005.thumb.JPG.ed4eeed8f35e2766038f229a78637053.JPG.

    It reduces materials wasted, and at the same time it can use the inside to scrap any oozing material from the nozzles.

    If you build a pyramid type of tower, I don't think it works so well.

    Plus I know it's a cheat, but I've tried Scotch Permanent Glue Stick on only the back corner when I need to print the cleaning tower, and it seems to hold it nicely for me.

     

    Have you tried PLA+PVA with the hollow tower ? PVA does not stick to PLA, the tower fails a lot.

  2. Thanks @SandervG. Before opening the UM3. Do you have read that "sometimes" I can ping another UM3 but the link http://UM3IP:8080/?action=stream'>http://UM3IP:8080/?action=stream'>http://UM3IP:8080/?action=stream'>http://UM3IP:8080/?action=stream displays a connection refused : ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

    Sometimes http://UM3IP:8080/?action=stream displays the video on this other UM3. The camera works (video is sometimes available), the network works (ping), but the video is not available.

  3. Oh!  The tower broke in the middle!!! That changes everything.  My solution (with help from neotko) was to add two towers *before* I added the main print to cura (so it prints the towers before the print).  These 2 added towers help hold up the built-in tower:

    Thanks for the tip ! Can you share the 3D file ?

    Can we replace the built in tower by 2 towers (1 PLA and 1 PVA) ?

  4.  

    Thanks for your help ! My travel avoid distance is already at the default value : 3mm

     

    Well defaults are to be broken. I remember I did 20mm for a model for fun. With s3d you can check travel paths, something that cura doesn't show very nice. Is always good to have a tool that can actually show how the head will move. But that option does work, and better if you can increase the number. Ofc, maybe your inactive head is too hot and drips. The failed print was using an standard profile or you changed something?

     

    Standard profile (Cura 2.4 beta 2) ! I'm printing again with 10mm travel avoid distance, and PVA with 105% flow.

  5. Oh wow.  Well you really need "pva all the way down".  Meaning the pva needs to have a continuous path to the glass bed.   Because PVA barely sticks at all to PLA.

    So the "horizontal expansion" fixes this for some part shapes, but not for this one.

    I'm hoping some future version of Cura will be able to do "PVA all the way down" automatically.

     

    Thanks. Printing with PVA is not easy ... I don't have nozzle clogging, I don't have problem with humidity (now), but 2 issues :

    - PVA does not stick well on top of PLA/PETG/nGen

    - prime tower falls down everytime

  6. I have tried "ooze shield" for PLA+PVA : it does not work at all. It's better without anything.

    I have tried a new tower of 25x25mm and 4mm thickness :

    As you can see, I have PVA residues on the part. The PVA is red Formfutura Atlas support but I have the same behaviour with Ultimaker PVA.
