Since the printcore cc is an unusual size of .6, how do you modify Cura to allow for this?
-
Great to know that overriding is an option. What abrasive materials do you print?
-
Thanks. That does not seem hard.
-
This is really a two part question.
1. Does it make sense to give my UM3 Extended printer abrasive material capability?
2. Will Cura recognize the new PrintCore CC with my UM3 Extended printer? I already have a Bondtech extruder.
Thank you.
-
Thank you. If I ever get the CC Printcore, this will be very useful.

The calibration worked after my factory restart.
-
I am using the latest firmware. I will factory restart my machine to see if that helps.
-
I have a UM3. I just switched my printcores, so my machine asked me to calibrate. When the calibration grid finished, I see that only the number 2 printcore worked. I reloaded pla into the first printcore and tried again. The same thing happened. What could I be doing wrong? The load process worked fine.

The prime tower still fell. My print messed up close to the end. Is it possible in cura to start the print at a specific height with all the same settings, except for deactivating the prime tower? I carefully figured out my z height.
-
I assumed that I needed a prime tower when switching between printcores. I am using a UM3E printer.
-
I am making a tall print using pla and breakaway white. The prime tower keeps falling over, even though I made the diameter wider from 20mm to 50mm. What do other people do to combat this problem? I am currently pausing the print and attempting to support the prime tower by using painters tape.
-
I assume changing the settings in the UM3 for the new extruders is straightforward. Will I have to change those setting every time there is a new software upgrade in my UM3?
-
I am also tempted to get a CC core. Maybe a Black Friday deal would get me to buy one.
-
It looks like Bondtech has two models of extruders for the Ultimakers. What are the differences between the QR and the DDG ones? I assume QR stands for quick release.
-
That really helps. Thank you. I just wanted some opinions. I have experienced some extruder/feeder slipping, so Bondtech might be a good choice.
-
Is there a benefit to printing more abrasive materials than the standard materials?
What extruders do people like? I see lots of discussions on Bondtech. I am a bit concerned that printing will be more complicated with the necessary speed changes in my printer.
Is there any benefit to using a CC ruby printcore?
-
The fan is working, so the problem is probably the fan. Where can I mail order a new fan?
-
How hard would it be to splice in new wires? Do you think shrink tubing on the wires might solve the problem?
-
There is definately a problem with the middle fan. Automatic leveling works when I unplug the fan. From my search, I see it is called an axiel fan 2133. I am still confused why a working fan can mess up the leveling sensor. I assume it would be best to replace the fan. Unfortunately the fan seems to be discontinued. Any suggestions or comments?
-
14mm seemed too tight for the springs.
-
Thank you. I will check that measurement later.
-
I found that the wires going to the sensor for active leveling were broken. I resoldered them. Then I still had a problem with active leveling until I uncompressed all three springs on the build plate. After that, I did a manual leveling. Then I was able to do active leveling. Now printing seems to work again.

The feeder is working when I load filament.
I am not sure about the middle fan. Is that the fan on the printcore door?
Since I can load filament, I don’t think there is a clog.
I have the problem on both printcores. I tried my .4 and .8 in both positions.
-
My printer is not printing at all. All of a sudden today the filament stopped coming out. I am able to load filament properly in either printcore 1 or 2, but nothing comes out during printing. I don’t even think the feeder is feeding filament during printing. Any ideas?

Thank you. I’m glad it is so simple.
