  1. Use to do this in the past, somehow it was not neccesary for a long period. Thanks for the (reminder) tip!
  2. I don't wanna use my Ultimakers (S5 and um3) anymore, because of how difficult it became to remove (polymax tough pla) from the buildplates. Tried just about anything, new glass plates, different glue stick, different kind of magigoo, 3dlac, ... Working now with bambulab printers, i experience the advantage of flexplates. Anyone tips i can try? for the glass plate or converting to flexplates? Many thanks!
  3. I have all the Ultimakers, or at least had... The UM2 was my best machine, after that they got expensive, to the point where we are now. ... I would not spend more than 500€, othersise the Bambu range is a much better and supreme solution!
  4. After some time printing with lowcost Bambu machines, i can't stand the slowness of the old style printers anymore! I reduce printing times x3 or 4 depending on the settings, with at least the same quality, or better. And the filament manufacterers are also making high speed materials, so printing times will even be further reduced. When is Ultimaker catching up? I have some S5 and 3 in production, but it is harder and harder to justify their use...
  5. I see a lot of new fast printers on the market, but not by Ultimaker. They have to pick up really fast in my opinion!
  6. Same here, just ordered the first Bambu labs. Can't ignore the advantages anymore. If the Bambu labs fits, and UM does not come out real quick, with some real improvements, we will probably fase them out.
  7. How nice would it be to be able to use the filament to the end of the roll, switching automatic to the other extruder (with the same material) Maybe it exists already?
  8. Being a Ultimaker user over many years, i am still satisfied with these machines. But i can't ignore the new range of Bambu, which prints like 3-4 times faster! And as i am regularly waiting for parts to finish, it can and will be a deal breaker! I hope Ultimaker catches up really fast, this could be a big thing! Any thoughts?
  9. When this happens on my S3 and S5, it is because one of the nozzles is not clean.
  10. i have exactly the same issue. At this moment i see 2 possibilities: 1: a problem in the pre-treatment, i always use the same 3dlac in the same amount, but i sometimes minimise the time between cleaning the plate with water, and applying the 3Dlac. Now i wait some time so the plate is really dry. 2: the glass plate just ages, and the surface becomes rough. Time will tell...
  11. Smithy, the thing i miss on the S3 and S5, are lights and screen dimming after xx time. Would be nice to just touch the screen to light the leds, and they dim after xx time.` I measured the power consumption of the leds (about 10w), so there is a real gain in electricity consumption. Possible?
  12. Just tested my S3, 7.0.1, behaviour the same as before. My settings, lights while printing off, glow after finished on. I use the slider (frame brightness) to control the lights, works perfectly.
  13. Pva is a wonderfull material, but you have to master it. It can be to dry (breaking) or to humid (mushy) I only unload the needed length and cut that of the reel, the rest goes back in the sealed bag. Even a couple of hours outside the bag can ruin the expensive material.
  14. Maak eens een filmpje met het geluid, misschien kunnen we de oorzaak vinden, en zo het probleem aan de bron oplossen.
  15. Thanks for updating with the solution, can happen to everyone, so it is a valuable post!
  16. Ik heb met een nieuwe S3 dezelfde problematiek, een melding dat er geen materiaal in printcore 1 zit, terwijl ik gewoon kan doorstarten. De werking van de sensor ken ik niet, moet hier eens in duiken. Print moemnteel wel veel met glitterpla, misschien zitten daar geleidende deeltjes in die de fout onrechtmatig triggeren?
  17. Thanks! (I already downloaded the patchversion for now 😉
  18. I use Cura on an mac, until now never had any issues with: -duplicating -auto arrange These are 2 functions i use all the time, they don't work anymore. (Maybe there are more, don't know) Anybody experience this? Is it a mac issue or Cura? On 4.8 everything worked ok, from 4.10 it is "broken"
  19. Als je geen foutmelding krijgt, is het een moeilijk dingetje. Heb je geen Gopro of zo om een timelapse te maken? Zou de stroom kunnen wegvallen?
  20. It can be a real "clog", but sometimes it can be the fan in front of the cores not working. Did you check that?
  21. Just my 2cents 😉 In both product datasheets i read 0.6mm minimum nozzle size. I think you can stay trying forever with the 0.4mm, and it will probably never work!
  22. Er zijn manieren om vochtig filament te drogen, niet altijd succesvol, maar je kan het proberen. -gedurende een aantal uren op een warme plaat leggen -gebruik van een fooddryer En voor de rest, je nieuwe rol zoveel mogelijk in de zak houden, met silicalgel. De nodige metertjes erafhalen (cura geeft de lengte aan , ik doe er een metertje bij) Het vacuum trekken heb ik geen ervaring mee.
  23. 2 verschillende diameters kan perfect. Maar, je zegt dat je nog geen ervaring hebt, is je PVA droog ? PVA neemt namelijk zeer snel vocht op. Nieuwe rol? Dit materiaal is soms al onbruikbaar 24uur uit de verpakking. (persoonlijk werk ik met een drybox, of draai ik enkel de lengte van de rol die voor de print noodzakelijk zijn, de rest direct weer in de gesloten verpakking met silicagel zakje)
