Sorry but that does not seem very well though out: 49% so far... (from those that have chosen to share statistics)(you can't see future statistics anyway so that's like saying we should never have gone to the moon because we wouldn't be back for decades afterwards anyway, how did you know? besides it's still very early for this feature) Being able to click print anytime and have my printer remember/continue the queue is a huge benefit not counting how many printers you have. What on-line environment? This is all running on the printer, the printer does not require an Internet connection. The maintenance logging is not the main feature here, or is it?Though to be honest, do you think everyone is aware of how often you should do which things? I get that currently Connect is missing some features (though I don't think this is the worst, by a long shot) but come on and stop bashing it because you miss one tiny feature and don't have a use for one other tiny feature... Bringing the pre-heat back at least for one printer setups seems very feasible though, I'll add it to the list. 1. Hey man you're the one giving me stats of 94% not me. 2. For you it might be, for me it's not. 3. I'm referring to the "network environment" http://192.168.51.17/print_jobs 4. That's the whole point, maintenance is not the main feature. It's not my intension to be bashing CURA nor Ultimaker. It's a great product which is a great addition to my product development. So don't give me that attitude. Just like the finished time feature, buildplate pre heat and perhaps print cue line are features that help me reduce print time and be more efficient in day to day use.

So far 94% percent of people using Cura connect (and sharing anonymous data) only have on printer in their cluster, so that might be the way to go indeed. Then again the installed base on the printer is not really big enough to know that for sure. If 94 % of users have only 1 printer, why invest time and money programming the whole CURA software to just that small 6% group? You disadvantage the 94% group, by adding features like an online environment in which you can check if i've cleaned one of my 2 printcores. If I just have the one printer, I can assure you that I am never going to select this via an online environment. I just remember when I've done this. My advise would be, K.I.S.S and focus on the larger group.

I hope you'll take another look at Cura connect, the having of a print-queue makes even one printer a lot more productive IMHO. and I think you'll agree if given the chance because it fits a lot better with your time problem https://ultimaker.com/en/community/51699-what-time-is-my-print-finished You can send your print when you have finished slicing, not when your printer has also finished, then you can already slice something else, etc... P.S: You can also downgrade the firmware on the printer, then the new Cura keeps talking to the old printer in the old way. If 94 % of users have only 1 printer, why invest time and money programming the whole CURA software to just that group? You disadvantage the 94% group, by adding features like an online environment in which you can check if i've cleaned one of my 2 printcores. If I just have the one printer, I can assure you that I am never going to select this via an online environment. I just remember when I've done this.

I just have one printer. I guess ill downgrade to a previous CURA version then. Thanks

Hi, Where did the preheat buildplate option go? CURA 3.03

Thanks I didnt know that. But, I would like to see this during preparation stage.

Hi, Because I use my UM3 extended on my work daily. It is a constant puzzle to schedule prints between working hours and over night. Example: Office hours 8:30 - 17:00 8:30 print from previous night is finished. 9:23 prepare new print for the working day. the new print takes 7:49 to complete. 17:12 print is finished 17:35 starting new print How much I love to work over times, it is just a pain in the ass to not be able to see what time my print is finished, instead of seeing how much time it takes to print a part. Other examples: current time: 10:28 print time 6:35 finished: ?????? current time: 16:28 print time 19:35 finished: ?????? current time: 14:13 print time 19:35 finished: ?????? current time: 10:28 print time 1d 12h:33 finished: ?????? Good luck calculating print times.

Thank you, but I think I will buy a new AA 0,8 core instead. I don't like overruling and tinkering with company machinery.

I think you have to have two cores in at all times. You can remove it, but I would then put in the other AA core in there. The other AA core, was destroyed one day when filament got stuck inside the print head case and ending up in burning the print core wires. (PS: I now know the UM3 is a pretty modulair design )

Ok thank you for the tip. Is PVA the only material supported by the BB core? Or can I just remove the BB core? Thank you

Since I updated Cura to 2.6 (and just now to 2.6.1) I've lost my standard print quality profiles. Fine, draft normal etc. I contacted my local reseller and they said to try re-adding the printer. This worked once, but now even that does not seem to work anymore. Any suggestions? Karel

I've wanted to try out Nylon prints for a while now and today I'm trying out a few samples from Nexeo. Ultimaker 3 Extended. Nexeo novamid 1070. First try: Kapton tape on bed Buildplate temperature: 110C Nozzle temperature: 270C Print speed 70mm/s Brim: 7mm Part warped and them came loose after 10 minutes. Second try: Kapton tape on bed Buildplate temperature: 100C Nozzle temperature: 270C Print speed 70mm/s Brim: 20mm Print still going and looking good! Looking forward to the final result. What is you experience with Nylon?

It's all ABS. It need more strength as it is part of a stroller hinge. Thank you for your suggestion with the grid option. Going to try it later on. I've managed 2 good ABS prints now (other parts) and I'm getting there:) Thank you so much for your time and help regarding this issue. Karel.

Hi gr5, In the meantime I've changed the Z support distance from 0,2 to 0,1mm and it does tend to stick better. The image below is what I meant with: brim, support, print, support, print [/media]

I've changed to Z distance to 0,1mm and it looks better. Lets see what happens after some hours.

The first 8 hours went really good until I found a missprint this morning. It seems the product wont attache good enough to the support. The product warps right of the support. (just like it did on the glass build plate) So it is brim,support,print,support and then the print on top of that starts to delaminate half way. I did turn the screws about 1/3 CCW during brim printing. I saw an option that says: Support Z distance 0,2mm Support top distance 0,2mm and Support bottom distance 0,1mm. Is this enough, to much or is this a good setting? What are your thoughts? PS: man that solid infill ABS is tough!

The glass plate on a 4000 euro machine might not be flat!? Going to check it after my ABS print is done. I've applied a better glue layer according to your youtube video changed the build plate temp to 100C covered the front and top a bit fan off instead of 5% So far it has been running for 2,5 hours and just 19,5 hours to go. So far so good.

Thanks Sander, Didn't know the UM3 topic existed in hardware.

As a starter on the Ultimaker forum, I find myself searching through topics finding out the topic is about a um2go for example. Because I'm working with an UM3 many settings are not applicable for me. Could be nice to make sections per printer type.

Can Cura display which layer it is printing atm?

Thank you @gr5 very informational video on different techniques. I see now I definitely put on to much glue on the glass plate. Regarding the leveling. I auto level before a new ABS print and I've tried manual leveling (with instructions of Ultimaker). Does the auto level function in UM3 gets the nozzle close enough to the buildplate in your opinion for the first layer? I will try 100C build plate today and see what happens. PS: can you use Kapton tape right away after applying? PS2: so a brim is good enough in comparison to a raft?

Hi, I bought an UM3 extended for the company I work at. I have Innofill ABS and Primavalue ABS (both black) At first my primavalue ABS wouldn't stick at all. (gonna try the innofil some other day) After some changes, adviced by the filament supplier 3dninja.nl, the ABS is now sticking with a raft and higher temperature. Nozzle: 240C Buildplate: 95C (+ glue that came with the UM3 extended) Fan 5% Speed 50mm/s raft After an hour.... the corners delaminated and after a few more layers the nozzle knocked the print to the side. So my questions: What settings will help to keep the print stay on during the whole print (about 1 day) There is no door or top on the UM3, could this be the problem? I've bought a buildTAK and some kapton tape, but are they really necessary? Thank you everyone in advance, Karel Atelier 49
