Today I received my plate (PrimaCreator FlexPlate-Powder Coated PEI 220 x 220 mm) and installed it on one of my glass plates. I cut away the magnetic plate where the front clips are. Because the magnetic plate is slightly thicker than the clamps, the print plate fits perfectly. It works. 🙂 Thanks for your support, I really appreciate it!

Gauthier, are you satisfied with the plate and the print results? (I just ordered one anyway 😉)

Thanks, I will look into the Filafarm stuff, didn't know them until now.

Has anybody used any kind of alternative, textured build plate with an Ultimaker printer (like the “Double-sided Textured PEI Powder-coated Spring Steel Sheet” from Prusa)? Not sure if there is something like this for the Ultimakers… The glass plate is fine for most print jobs, but sometimes a slightly textured surface looks better. Thanks for any feedback, -pl

Sorry to be too late for you, but anyway: I pulled the wire a little bit, but did not need to replace it for the repair. Maybe the next time it breaks I have to buy replacement…

To answer my own question: with a Print Speed of 70 mm/s and a Wall Speed of 24 mm/s for both hotends the corner parts of this model became straight as they should be.

Hi Guys, what can I do to improve the corners of the part in the picture? I already tried reducing the speed from 70 mm/s to 30 mm/s, but no change. It is being printed on my UM3 with two 0.4 nozzles and PLA. Slicing done with Cura 4.7.1 Thanks for any advice, -pl

Thanks for creating this very helpful document, I like it! BTW, there is an error in „Support distance priority“, where at one place there should be „Z overrides X/Y“ instead of „X/Y overrides Z“ Cheers, -pl

Birdfeed holder, to attach the bird feeder to the new small tree in our garden, with branches too thin, but with a 40 mm diameter trunk. Fixed with two velcro stripes. Filament is Nylon transparent from Ultimaker, construction with Fusion 360.

Actually I am having problems with "Pause at height" also: After loading a model into Cura 3.6.0 I add a post processing script "Pause at height" or "Filament change" for a change at a certain layer number. When during printing the printer (UM3) reaches that certain layer, it goes to pause and I can change the filament. When I resume the print after changing the filament, the (travel-)speeds seem to be different (very high) and there seems to be no more z axis advancements. Is anybody being successful in doing this or could it be some Cura problem (or am I just plainly stupid)? I tried the "Pause at height" without changing the filament and it went perfectly fine...

Not sure about that, because in this certain setup the horns are being used as tweeters, with low power input (the FRS 5 X drivers are suited for 5W). I think what you mean here is happening mostly for the lower frequencies with the airwaves transporting a lot of more energy, where material resonances can (and do) influence the sound. But a definitive answer would require some more measurements to check for resonance effects in the horn material. The horns definitely bundle the sound waves, which gives the speakers a very special directional characteristics (which I do not like).

He left it as-is (and likes it). Regarding the layer lines effect of the horns, I just discussed this with a friend of mine who is a real analog audio guy and who designed and built the crossover network for the speakers (which turned out to be a real pain in the neck to optimize it) and did also a lot of measurements of the speaker system. In his opinion the acoustical effect of the layer lines is insignificant. My own tinnitus doesn't allow me to be an audio reference listener :-/ so I don't have an opinion on that.

Thanks & have fun (see attachment)! 😁 Horn_4_3_v5.stl.zip (right now the guy who I made them for is offering the speakers @ebay: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Lautsprecher-Visaton-Gradient-prof-entwickelter-DIY-Lautsprecher/123572160771)

Could somebody please have a look at this peculiar scaling behavior (see video screenshot)? When I rotate a model in Cura 3.6 and scale it in non-uniform way, then -- after the first non uniform scaling -- just by clicking into the scale value windows it changes object sizes in strange ways. I do not think that this is the intended way... please see video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15S9pqEQmlUNl62u6c2E2yVKTOX-D4uT-/view?usp=sharing Thx, -pl
