  1. I have the 3dSolex Hardcore with 0.4mm and 0.8mm nozzles. When printing I have noticed with both sizes that when the UM3 does the final retract at the end of a print after the nozzle has cooled a little bit that the filament is stuck in the nozzle and causing some grinding and raises the nozzle enough that active leveling doesn't work for the next print. Is there a way to change at which temp the UM3 does the final retract. I have the machine set to PLA and this has happened with two different types of PLA. I had not noticed any issues like this when using the UM printcores.

  2. I view the UM3 camera over the internet using /?action=stream. Everything worked great however I upgraded to the publix beta for iOS11 and now the video flickers. It works fine when I am viewing it locally through the Ultimaker app. Is anyone else running the beta and seeing the same issue?

  3. I am printing a business card holder and running in to issues with marks on the print. I have tried Cura and Simplify3D, but both result in a large z-seam on the print. I would like to use Cura, but I have had a hard time getting a good print with it. Any steps in the right direction would be appreciated. The photo below was printed with the default PLA settings in CURA 3.6

  4. The default starting script for simplify 3D is:

    M106 S0 ; fan off

    M204 S1500 ; default acceleration

    M205 X15.00 ; maximum X Y jerk

    T0

    G1 X2 Y5 Z5 F15000.0 ; heating location

    M140 S[bed0_temperature]

    M104 S[extruder0_temperature] T0 ; heat left

    M190 S[bed0_temperature]

    M109 S[extruder0_temperature] T0 ; stabilize left

    G1 Z0.2

    G92 E0 ; zero extruder

    G1 E30

    G92 E0 ; zero extruder

    G1 X100 E15 F1000 ; purge left extruder

    I would like to modify this to still go to X2 Y5, but instead of purging the extruder from x2 to x100, do a Cura style purge where it just depositing a large blob of filament. I found this does a better job getting rid of any different color PLA when swapping colors. What would be the best way to change this to do that. I know G280 does the filament purge on the UM3, but I'm not sure what to remove/replace.

  5. I have had my UM3 for about 4 weeks now, and I just got a second one. I am noticing on the first that the first layer is very close to the bed compared to the new one, and I feel like it has been getting closer over time. I use auto-leveling on both, and printing the same g-code there is a noticeable difference in the first layer. Any tips on where to start to get the first layer higher?

  6. I have been having this problem. Today, I accidentally clicked print on the Ultimaker 3 before plugging in the flash drive, and then I got a message saying something like "Insert flash drive". I inserted the flash drive and it was able to read the drive. This was the only time I was able to get the 3 to read the drive if I removed and reinserted it without a power cycle on FW 3.6. I have not had time to reproduce this, as it is currently printing, but I figured it was worth a shot for others who are having a similar issue.

  7. I am getting some marks on the outer walls of my models which I believe retracting while wiping the nozzle would resolve. Is there a setting in Cura that would help with this? I know simplify has a retract during wipe option, but nothing in Cura stood out to me.

  8. This isn't a direct feedback about the forum itself, but I love seeing people directly involved with the machines and the software on the forum and replying to posts. It is great knowing that our feedback, both positive and negative, is well received by the people who can make the change.
