    You can just go to the download page and download the last version then install that one. That's what I did and it's back to normal. Each version installs to a different folder so they can run independently.

    Thanks! Found it. Though, it did not have the default profiles. Just ones that I previously created.

  2. Help! I just changed my printcores and back (AA0.4-AA0.8) to AA0.4-BB0.4) and back to the previous combo. 

    The default print profile settings are now gone. 

    Can someone please share a screenshot of their print profile settings (Fast to Fine) so I can add it manually?

    Also, do you have a recommended profile for 0.8 printcore and 0.25 printcores? 

     

    Thanks! 

  3. The fan/hinge of my printer keeps on dropping sometimes dislodging the prints and creating a fine blob of a mess. Today, I left it to print and came back with a blob and a disconnected wire. I got my printer in May 2018 from 3dgbire.com

    How do I fix this? 

    Thank you.

    BTW, What glue are you using? Im having trouble finding a glue I can wash off easily after. Will need to look into water soluble glues....

    I've gone waaaaaaaaay to detailed and bits are falling off here and there. each colour needs tweaking to print fine and its well annoying, not to mention the sheer amount of objects to slice in cura and two layer colour separation.😢 loads of fails but I can see potential. I've done loads of these now and have a few methods of doing them, im using regular non pourous fabrics now, and printing one side only. but the problem is no reflective top layer!!

     

    ...was going to do fish scales as well! haha great minds think alike!

     I didn't use glue. I just gaffer taped my fabric. I am testing out thicker fabrics since that's what I use a lot for my crafts. As for shiny top layers, I print them front side down.

    Hi Ghene

    I haven't tried it myself, but it should be no problem. For PETG and rPET you can use the CPE material profile. CPE is PETG just another name and maybe a different mixture. 

     

    Start with the CPE profile and maybe adjust the recommended print temperature from the vendor. That should be all. I disable usually also combing which gives me a better result (combing = off)

    Thanks!

  6. Fixed it, machine is now working with backup printcore. I do not have the luxury of sending my machine up to be fixed when the problem is just the printcore specially with my fundraising for ZSL in full swing.

    The filament oozed up and into there and hardened like a rock...Since Printcore is already non-responsive (tried the atomic method shown in the support pages first), I had to use my heat gun to slowly melt and pull the filament off bit by painful little bit. Last bit was that part that's blocking the printcore into the printhead. I tried prying the filament off gently, but instead, the bottom bit of the printcore came off.  To not cause damage, I had to open up the print head to reach it, put it back together (less a screw since one escaped)  😞 I need a replacement printcore and short bolt pretty please (for the printhead) 😛


     

  7. The regular rPLA filaments prints well just like the others.

    The cosmic filaments have small particles in it sometime causing the printcore to clog up, need a fine needle to clear it up. So beware. Prints well though and it hardened nicely. Sorry, test piece is the varse for their #cosmicchallenge. I wanted to try winning some freebies 😛

    So my UM3e decided to play up again. The print failed and became a blob around Printcore 1 again. Print core 1 stopped responding, I tried turning up the temperature to melt some of the filament but alas, it stays cold and gives me that printcore error. 

    Managed to take Printcore 2 off by increasing the temperature until the filament that's blocking it is melted.
    Not so perfect timing... Christmas shopping period is here 😕 I need to replenish my stock.
