I am having issues with my models either floating above my build plate or below. (CURA ver. 2.4 ) I then brought my models in CURA ver. 15.04.6 and they were fine. I was loading six parts arranged together at first. I then separated them out and imported them individually to CURA 2.4. One part was sunken under the build plate while the others were on top. I then cleared my build plate and brought in just the sunken part. It came in below the plate again. I triple checked my CAD file and all parts are above the CPlane. If it works in CURA ver. 15.04.6 why not in ver. 2.4? After writing my post, I tried turning my parts into a mesh before exporting as a .stl. That worked. Normally, I don't convert them to a mesh first.

I never looked at the hours printed. That's cool, thanks for letting me know about that feature. I'll check it out. Last night I removed the PTFE coupler and it looked bad. I think you were right, my coupler looks deformed on the top and was not allowing the bowden tube to insert all the way. I'm ordering a new coupler today.

Hello, I am having an issue with my Ultimaker 2. After it finishes printing it retracts the filament a little (I assume so it doesn't get hard in the print head when cooled) and it has a bulbous head of melted PLA on the end of the filament. If I try to print again the bulbous head can't fit through the PTFE coupler and the feeder keeps clicking. I end up removing the bowden tube and clipping the end off with a pair of pliers. It then enters with no problem. Has anyone experienced this? I don't know if it is retracting too much and I can somehow adjust this or is the bulbous head caused by a bad PTFE coupler? Please help.
