A good practice is also to use the section analysis in F360 to cut through the model and check how if looks like from the inside.

You are welcome. I think you can do a quick fix in Fusion 360. Just press Q in F360 and select the bottom of the base to do a push pull and extrude it over the existing extrusion. Just make sure you select in the property window JOIN and not CUT.

Den Z-Sprung macht er nur wenn ein Retract passiert, d.h. bei Travelmoves ohne Retract wird auch kein Z-Hop gemacht. Aber einen Z-Sprung empfehle ich nicht, die Funktion ist praktisch für Delta Drucker, aber bei einer Z Spindel ist das Ergebnis meist schlechter als ohne.

The base of your pen holder is not solid, therefore the top of the base is printed in the air. You have to design a solid model, to get an infill there.

Ich muss mir meinen UM2Go nochmals genauer anschauen, der hat ähnliche Ansätze, vielleicht habe ich das gleiche Problem. Weil Coupler habe ich getauscht, aber ich wäre nie auf die Idee gekommen, dass die auch etwas haben könnten. Habe meine glaube ich von 3DJake und das waren glaube ich die 3DSolex, bin mir aber nicht mehr sicher, ist schon länger her.

You are probably right, timing is very important.

Thanks Geert for the effort and the pictures. It works, but as you said not as good as Aceton and ABS, but maybe when you vaporize it, it gets smoother.

Stimmt, du hast recht, das sollte funktionieren. Hab mir gerade die Beispielvideos angesehen.

Cool, waren das jetzt die TFM von iGo?

In the past it was exactly like that, so the core was accepted, Cura shows the yellow warning sign, but it was possible to use it. I don't think that has changed, so it should still work. I can test it later, but have currently no printer available because I rearrange everything in my workshop and have currently only chaos 🙂

When you don't see the layer preview, check if you have enabled the "Force layer view compatibility mode" in the Cura preferences. I just have double checked it on my system for Big Sur and it is as before, layer preview is working and also the zoom function is not different than before. So I don't think it is a general problem with Big Sur and 4.8.

Wir drücken die Daumen, haben im Lockdown eh nicht viel zu tun 🙂

Das wird hier aber nicht funktionieren, da es keine sichtbaren Spagetti gibt, die sind alle im Druckkopf drinnen.

Very cool, I was always looking for such a solution because it gives a nice surface finish.

I depends on your needs, if you really need parts filled with glass fibre or carbon. Such materials can be really good for specific needs, but for "normal" usage I would say it is not worth the effort. Keep also in mind that printing with such materials is more complicated than with other ones. (bed adhesion, layer bonding, warping) You have to buy two extruders, because you have to adjust the steps for the new extruder and the UM3 has only one step value, valid for both extruders. Then you need the CC core, which if officially not supported on the UM3 or you buy the 3DSolex hard core with a ruby nozzle. So the investment is big. Printing with the normal AA core will wear out the nozzle very quickly. So its up to you, but I would not do it.

Have you already tried to disable the developer mode and enabled it again?

Also wenn du nicht vor hast mit einer 1mm Düse mit 0.6 Layerhöhe und rasender Geschwindigkeit zu drucken, bringt dir der 50W Heizer wahrscheinlich mehr Probleme als er bringt. Die paar Sekunden schnellere Aufheizzeit sind zum vernachlässigen und wenn die Düse dann auf Temperatur ist, dann ist es völlig egal ob 35W oder 50W. Die Schwankungen werden aber sicher mehr werden.

An upgrade kit only makes sense if it is attractively priced and can be converted with reasonable effort. This is not the case with the UM2C because a lot has changed, and an upgrade kit would be much too expensive. Maybe it is just confusing that the printer is called UM2+ Connect. If it had a different name, then perhaps the displeasure would not be so great. Because nobody would think of upgrading a UM2+ to an S5 with an upgrade kit. And I think you won't be able to upgrade endlessly with other manufacturers either. At some point, the point has come where it just doesn't make sense anymore.

Ich mache eigentlich alles in Fusion360, aber es sollte auch mit jedem anderen gehen. Blender oder Meshlab, etc. Eventuell suche auf YouTube nach cut mesh body denn die Lernkurven sind in den Programmen am Anfang schon recht hoch.

Du müsstest dein Objekt auf dieser Höhe teilen, dann kannst du unterschiedliche Extruder zuordnen.

Das musst bei dir schon wie beim Bundesheer sein, STG-77 zerlegen und zusammenbauen. Das geht sicher schon mit verbundenen Augen 🙂

Ich vermute weil z.B. beim Breakaway gerne ein paar Überbleibsel am Bauteil bleiben, die dann händisch bearbeitet werden müssen und teilweise gar nicht mehr weg gehen.

I would say, fans, Bowden tube and sliding blocks.

I really don't know but I'm pretty sure that the S3 will also get an Air Manager in the foreseeable future. It simply makes sense to have it on the S-Line printers, because the S-Line printers are mainly used to print materials that require a stable environment.

Tried some things, like gave Cura more permission in the security settings of MacOS, but not successful. Mark wrote on Github, that we should try to deinstall the 3DConnexion driver to see if it helps, but haven't tried it yet. There is also an issue on Github already, so maybe @BPerry2020 can also share the infos there: https://github.com/smartavionics/RawMouse/issues/9
