  3. I seem to be having trouble replying to this thread either that or the posts are invisible to me only. Can anyone else see this post or the two previous posts to this thank you Second that i can now see this post so I'll add my previous questions to this post. As I've been trying to say I've printed both these designs before without any zebra stripes or twists it's only since yesteday that I've noticed anything wrong. ..is this issue degenerative as in it gets worse over time ? & what exactly do the boards do I did try to read why on the thread but i don't completely understand. ? & would adding these boards invalidate my warranty as it's still covered. & finally are these the ones listed on eBay. Thank you
  4. HI everyone I'm sure this subject has been covered before & I've found a few posts about it but none of them seemed to have a definitive answer as to why this was happening. it started yesterday when I test printed one of my designs & what was meant to be a cylinder shape came out as a perfectly twisted cylinder. so I printed a benchy to see if the problem repeated itself & it did. but only on the top part of the print. I've read of a few possible causes from print speed to infill showing through & also the active bed levelling being out of sync & hardware misalignment. however being pretty newish to 3D printing. "if you can call a printing for a year new" I'm still a little baffled. as everything has been printing fine without problem. could someone please point me in the correct direction to get this solved as I'm lost for solutions thanks
  5. Ok so I've reinstalled my mac back to factory settings. Reinstalled cura & it's finally working' however I have only have one profile & I can't change between printing quality's as I only have fine 0.10 ..everything else has disappeared is there a way to get them to install ? As I've not changed or altered anything.
  6. Ok so I've just found that & deleted the contents .but It's still the same. It's just not having any of it only thing I can think of now is reinstalling everything from the beginning ...doing a complete wipe & start fresh
  7. Ok so my laptop has just finished restoring & has a newly installed OS. However this failed todo anything at all.. & cura still refuses to start up.. Where can I find the cura directory you mentioned ? My head has almost given up tonight Thanks.
  8. Hello Fello Ultimakers After working all afternoon slicing & making some prints. My mac decided to sleep' after I made myself a cuppa. ..& for some reason Cura refused to slice.. which it's done on multiple occasions. So I Done the Usual Restart to get everything going again. Only now Cura refuses to start full stop. i get the initial start up screen as it boots up, but then nothing it shuts down almost as quick as it starts. I've uninstalled & Reinstalled twice with no avail & im in the process of a full Mac OS Reinstall as I was out of options ..is there something I've missed ..I've been using Cura for a while now but never experienced anything like this before. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated Thanks.
  9. Hi I guessed it was ...I emailed Carl yesterday & he gave me a great deal on the replacement parts. as I ordered a hardcore print core. & some everlast nozzles at the same time. So hopefully they'll be here shortly ... & I see what you mean about the emails !... I get at least & 30 per day myself & they're so annoying' so that was a good idea.
  10. Oh wow Thank you. I hate phone calls tbh. I always end up hanging up & forgetting something ...emails are much easier lol. So the email you gave me is the " at " the symbol at ? & the _ things they stay the same ? I'm guessing your not allowed email addresses in the forums ? But I did find his profile as well thanks.
  11. HI GR5 Sorry for the delayed response ( been slightly under the weather ) so it's the hardcore 6 & that delicate part to order ..I was going to add some of his ruby tipped nozzles to my order ..I'm really big into RC Aircraft so printing Carbons will come in quite handy & so do most of my associates so they'll come handy also. Although I couldn't find a method of contact ? Such as an email address not even after I'd made an account so I think I'll just have to call to order the delicate part but that's ok. ( presuming he speaks English ) could become quite embarasing otherwise
  12. Hi Gr8 Yeah that's a shame tbh. & funny enough I've been looking at the 3D solex print core as a replacement but I wasn't sure which one to go for I'd like a Gaurantee so the DIY one is out. Which leaves the hardcore six or the hardcore EHT ? Don't much like the price of either of them. Lol. But I do need a replacement & I may as well make it a good replacement I guess. Although if I can get a replacement core part I might repair the damaged one as well. As I was going to keep it for spares if it couldn't be replaced ..maybe I'll message them & see what they can supply me with.
  13. hello well I seem to have found the problem' I've been racking my brain trying to think what the problem could be & as it only seemed to be with the print cores rather than the printer' I decided to take a closer look at them. at first glance they look to be perfect & you'd never notice anything wrong with them. until I compressed the tab like when inserting it' then it all became clear so to speak. & afterwards I remember taking the print-core out to clean some off excess material that had formed on the nozzle & dropping it' which I really didn't think twice about & thinking to myself that was lucky' but I guess not. it seems to have landed right on the tip & kinked the tube slightly.. so I guess I'll need a new one as this seems an unlikely fix. but at least the issue is resolved.
  14. Hi Gr5 I believe I have marked my printer down as a UM3. I can see it under my name & also under my name in this post. Is it not visible to others ? As for the problem with the Calibration. I've replaced both print cores with the spares I had & re done the X-Y calibration & its back to X = 0 & Y = -1 So the problem seems to be with the cores I had installed. Before removing them I checked that they were installed properly & checked all the belts were tensioned correctly & it all checked out. It's a bit of a conundrum I'm fairly new to 3D Printing this being my first. But I'm fairly good & mechanically minded but this has me stumped. Soon as I use the other/s cores the X Y jumps out whereas before the collision & jam of the print they were spot on centre like the cores that replaced them.
  15. Hi there. Yes that's what i was trying to explain. I reaslise my initial discription wasn't the best' I was in such a panic that I didn't explain properly. & No I've not removed the print heads that was my first path of attack this morning after finding myself a cuppa. i have another two print cores so it'll be nice to see where they compare & then find out why they're out of line so much. ?
  16. Hello I need some help please... I've been printing a few things today & on one of the prints I had a collision that caused some strange noises much like the belts were skipping on the pulleys. they all look ok & in place but when I tried to print something the print was off centre ... so I cleared the build plate & carried out an x-y alignment to check & instead of them being X = -1 & Y = 0 that they were initially & have been since I bought it 2 months ago they're X = -8 & y = +6 and I'm slightly concerned that I may have knocked something out & I'm concerned that using it may do more harm than good. is there any way I can set up the X Y to where it was before ? as I've tried a factory reset & it hasn't made any difference what so ever
  17. hi Thanks for the help. I checked the horizontal expansion & it was set to 0. & when I changed it' the cog seemed to get fuzzy/Bigger. However I happened to change the "support overhang angle" to a higher angle from the preset 45' to 80' & it had the desired effect. with only support at the base of the cog rather than up the sides as well & I managed to get a print done without any messy foul ups.. thanks anyway
  18. Hi can someone help please. I'm trying to print this cog & I keep getting unnecessary support materiel around the outside ( as pictured )....it needs some support material as it protrudes slightly at the bottom. But Cura keeps adding support material around the entire cog' which ends up spoiling the print' as it tends to either string or one of the supports collapse & ruins it. Is there a way of disabling the support around the outside & leaving the bottom in place " which I thought touching build plate only would do" or is there something I'm missing any help appreciated as its getting rather frustrating [media=58778] [/media]
  19. PVA gluestick is good for PLA & the PVA filament. Just spread on your plate & then spread it around with a wet paper towel. & dry with the heated bed. ABS is a little trickier you can use some ABS slurry ( ABS partially dissolved in some acetone ). Or some Kapton tape. Which is much cleaner than the slurry & less smelly. Just stick the Kapton to your bed & rough up with some 400 grit wet n dry ( clean afterwards ) it's really good & it's what I've found most effective. & can be reused over and over if you remove your print carefully, & when you want to print on glass again flip the glass plate over & leave the Kapton in place. Which seems to not cause any problems. Luckily I had another plate given me so I now swap them back n forth depending on what I'm printing. But there's a Myriad of different techniques to get your print to stick & there's more than a few videos on the subject ...finding one you like is another story altogether : D
  20. Hi fbrc8-Erin Thanks for the reply. I'm new to all this malarkey & 3d printing ..hence why my message sounded so formal lol. I actually thought I'd messaged ultimaker :-/ But never mind at least I learnt that 'contact us" actually meant write a new post & not ultimaker. I did however get to contact them by email & they informed me that it wasn't yet supported but I was free to try if I wanted. & thanks for guiding me to some helpful info on the subject still trying to find my way around here as yet so any help & advice is good
  21.
