Sure thing! And thanks for the release notes!

Also curious about this. @SandervG ?

@fbrc8-erin how did the spool of PVA do over 9 days of being out?

I did a lot of research in this area a while ago, and while I cannot remember the source, I have this Excel sheet that helped me figure out costs fairly quickly. I remember doing a lot of "how much does 3D printing cost" googling. Let me see if I can find it in the meantime. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByL3XwVOlVxRSkY1ZFBGVlJyZDg/view?usp=sharing Here's a few resources I found: http://3dprinthq.com/cost/desktop.php (I think this is the source for the Excel sheet) http://3dpartprice.com/ (this one looks neat and open source!) https://3daddict.com/tool/3D_Print_Cost_Calculator.html

That's a good question. I only see it go to "Maintenance" when we're changing filament or leveling the bed or things like that. Usually it says "Idle" or "Printing"

@ShaunP there is a paper inside the UMS5 box that says go to http://ultimaker.com/alu-plate and enter your info to get shipped the aluminum build plate.

I'm just spitballing here but you could try turning down the "Initial Layer Line Width" underneath "Quality" in Cura.

Unfortunately, I read in another thread that it does not integrate directly to the UM3 (yet). Something like the developers couldn't figure out the existing interface to the control board.

The greater majority of the prints I do are for Architecture students. Around 70% of the prints are in White PLA. In the Fall 2017 semester that was about 35kg of white filament. Spring 2018 semester was around 50kg of White PLA, which is still approx. 70% of all prints.

@inba If you want to change the color, it's fairly easy to do with gcode. If you've enabled developer mode, you can ssh into the printer using ultimaker@192.168.1.x and then sendgcode M142 r[0-255] g[0-255] b[0-255] w[0-255] Last I tried, the REST API for changing colors didn't work for me either. Did you authenticate using /auth/verify ? Also, to change the name, it wants a string. so put "MyUltimaker3" in quotes and it should work just fine (after you authenticate your id+key of course).

The documentation is built into the printer. Go to the printer's IP address in a web browser and click on "API Documentation" or http://1.1.1.1/docs/api/

I ran the XY offset calibration after loading some Breakaway and that appears to have been what the printer wanted. Thanks!

@SandervG I haven't seen any messages yet. Tapping on the screen after the screensaver just brings me to the home screen. I imagine it could be a XY offset calibration. Or perhaps it's mad at me for not having any material loaded for material 2. I'm loading some Breakaway in there right now and I'll see if the "!" comes back.

I've got a question about the S5 I can't find any info about. I think this is the "screensaver", but the "!" icon keeps showing up on one of my S5s. What does it mean? The other one hasn't done it yet. TIA!

Awesome!! Thanks @SandervG!!!

I'd just like to chime in here as an interested UM3 operator and say that I'd need 15 filament flow sensors...

I had a weird issue similar to this. Try hitting "Enter" after changing the nozzle size, wait a moment and watch the number, then close out the dialog window.

A: What is the filament brand: Essentium B: What is the type of filament: PLA XTR C: What is the diameter of the filament: 2.85 mm D: What is the weight of a full spool: 1094 grams E: What is the inner diameter of the core? 52 mm F: What is the outer diameter of the core? 95 mm G: What is the outer diameter of the whole spool? 200 mm H: What is the weight of an empty spool? 328 grams I: Width of full spool (only when it is completely full because it can expand) 53.5 mm J: Width of an empty spool (only when almost or completely empty) 53 mm

I noticed this too! I was pretty confused by it at first. Also I noticed that "Save to File" saves compressed gcode by default where it used to save just plain gcode by default.

Try moving the exe to your hard drive instead of an alternative?

I had to find it under "View All Versions" https://ultimaker.com/en/products/cura-software/list

Let me try to explain. I'm running Cura 3.2 on Windows 10 Enterprise (16GB RAM and Intel i7-7820HQ). I just attempted to make it crash by loading 3 fairly large models (STLs are 40-70MB each). I have the setting on to click "Prepare" to slice. Starting in "Solid View", I can arrange the models, set settings, etc, then click "Prepare" and quickly move to "Layer View" at the same time. As it is slicing, I'll try to orbit the models and Cura freezes with (Not Responding) at the window bar. Task Manager showed CuraEngine running at high CPU for a few seconds after Cura said Not Responding which means it probably successfully sliced the models, but Cura crashed. It does not freeze every time I do this, so trying to make it freeze on purpose took a solid few minutes for me. Here are the stderr.log and cura.log files I mentioned beforehand: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ftUPO_1sKdDQv9rpniQhuF2k5jKrA3oe?usp=sharing Thanks.

I'm having trouble with Cura 3.2. The short version is that it keeps freezing and crashing and I need help diagnosing the cause of the crash. I've looked at C:\Users\starbuck\AppData\Roaming\cura\stderr.log and C:\Users\starbuck\AppData\Roaming\cura\3.2\cura.log but I cannot find anything useful. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys. I'd like to request a few features/updates/tweaks to Ultimaker Cura. In version 2.x, switching profiles, materials and print cores in Cura were a real pain because it was so slow (on my computer) and there were pop-up dialog boxes every time I changed one setting. I was hoping to see this remedied in 3.0.x, but it was not entirely fixed. As I operate 15 UM3s, I often switch extruder profiles from (E1-E2) PLA-PLA to PLA-PVA and other related settings. Now in 3.0.x, it is much faster than in 2.x, but still not perfect. I'd like to see an easy way to switch configurations in Cura to match different configurations of printers. For example, maybe the material and print core set for each extruder is saved in a profile along with the other common settings (layer height, infill density, etc), so that when I need to switch from a PLA-PLA print to a PLA-PVA print, it's as simple as clicking the drop down menu and selecting a different profile. (I just named these different to prove a point, this is not a feature yet) Also, I think this request is much more simple than the previous, I would love to see a simplified print summary in the saved gcode file similar to Simplify3D like this example. I realize that this information already exists in Cura's gcode header, but it's not as readable. ; Build Summary; Build time: 5 hours 15 minutes; Filament length: 52921.5 mm (52.92 m); Plastic volume: 121538.54 mm^3 (121.54 cc); Plastic weight: 151.92 g (0.33 lb); Material cost: 6.99 Thanks in advance, y'all.
