    UM3-Extended - Error 12C-Why?

    in UltiMaker 3D printers

    Posted

    Bump...Seriously? Nobody has a clue or will answer?

    I contacted Ultimaker about another issue a month or so back and they say to post here. I post here and nothing. This is becoming more common. I even rebooted the machine BEFORE I started a print and 3 outlines in, it dies with the error.

    I love the machine, but not if I can't count on it or information.

    UM3-Extended - Error 12C-Why?

    For some reason, I am getting this error. Happened once last week, but now it has happened twice in less than 6 hours on different prints. One was 2/3 through a 32 hour print and this last one was about 1 hour in, with one print in between.

    I dumped logs from the printer. Where to send them?

    No Wifi or Ethernet. Just USB interface.

    Thanks,

    Limit nozzle wipe on prime tower at last nozzle change

    I am new to this, so I am not sure where the answer may be. But I noticed on a print I am doing right now that the nozzle goes to the prime tower at every layer whether it is changing nozzles or not. Got a bunch of layers on top of the supports, and nothing but one material left, but it still goes to the prime tower at every level. A big waste of time and filament.

    Am I missing something? I did just download 2.4 beta...in there maybe?

    Confessions of a clumsy noob

    Hey there. Got my Ultimaker 3 extended about 2.5 weeks ago. Didn't touch it as I was busy and distracted until last Saturday. Been having a blast. It has been fun. This machine is cool and forgiving. Clumsy..see?

    But, I am playing around and just having fun. It's been running for the last week now and any issues have been user error and well...a noob.

    But, I am getting prints out and even got NinjaTek Semiflex to print decently. Well, to my inexperience I am happy.

    Soooo much fun to learn!!

    The Allosaurus model is mine. I have been playing with downloaded files too. The PLA Dino is printed at normal with a length of 6". The SemiFlex was printed in Draft mode. Man that Semiflex is BLACK!!! Hard to photograph. >_<

    Been playing with hard lock ball and socket joints, soft lock with the semiflex and just having a ball! Wheeeee!

    Been doing that thing where you just keep fiddling with it. Learned a lot of stupid things like keep your hands out of the build area when running...pause instead if you gotta play in the area. Duhhhhh.....

    Great Machine :) Gotta build a dry box feeder. Wow the PVA is popping and such. But still only a week in. :) Time is on my side, I hope. ;)

    Why is this model 'Capping' upon slicing?

    @Berndjm-----I had to take off all the mesh fixes to get it to work. But, if you're setting it up in right in your 3D Package, no need for them, eh?

    @IRobertI-----I'm just testing out things right now. Since I can't get the printer until December, I'm setting up files to see what it does when it gets here. And, also apparently learning about the software too! LOL But I have a few projects that I want to try and see just how far I can push it.

    Besides, it's a Fractal.....it supposed to look 'off' a bit anyway :)

    Thanks for the suggestion about the mesh fixes.

    Build volume issue Cura 2.3 release

    Ok, as far as I know, I got it licked. Turns out it was the priming tower was located 'inside the print area'. Once I found that I got my stage together in MAX so that I can output at 100%.

    Thanks for the links to the information. It really helped a lot. Can't wait for December to get the printer and test some of this stuff out beyond the software. This is one of the things I could not get to load and slice until recently. Thanks!!

    Build volume issue Cura 2.3 release

    in UltiMaker Cura

    I am very new to all of this. I am experimenting with the software before I buy the printer (Um3 Extended) and I may be doing something wrong. I dunno, but it doesn't make sense to me. All things are exported out in millimeters for proper size checks and compatibility with the software.

    I am running the Cura 2.3 with the profile of Ultimaker 3 extended. But, quoting the below figures for dual extrusion, I have to reduce a model to about 85% of it's size to let it start slicing.

    I am using 3DS MAX. I am building the objects within a volume using (x) 7.8, (y) 8.5 and (z) 11.8. Everything is at 100% scaling before export to STL. Using a bit of 'margin' in MAX, I make sure all things are within that volume easily and not pushing edges at all. But an 85% reduction is strange to get it to start to slice. And, it throws all of my engineering our of whack. i.e. A battery pack ain't gonna fit a battery if it's been reduced by 85% of the scaled 3D object. And, even when I import it into Cura at 100%, it does not even come close to the greyed border edges.

    Am I missing something?

    Sizes as used

    Dual extrusion:

    197 x 215 x 300 mm

    (7.8 x 8.5 x 11.8 inches)
