  1. Wow! Thank you. I honestly didn't even know of all those in depth settings. Now I feel the need to do a deep dive through the documentation to get a feeling for it all. I adjusted the recommended settings and i will post the results when completed.
  2. thanks slashee, I have a ultimaker s5 with material station, should be dry from the material station. the majority of it is printing perfect, just the starts. but maybe thats as good as it gets with TPU? I am using a .4 nozzle, which would be better? i do have a .6 CC If you see the picture i attached.. you can see the far left edge is perfect and the cura file has no starts on that edge. and the clumping does appear to only be where starts are located. cura file.3mf
  3. Im printing in TPU and there are parts that are clumping, that are exactly where the white "starts" (line type) are. Are the "starts" where the nozzle physically starts for each layer? and is there any way to minimize that clumping and stringyness. if you see in the photos some edges of the model without white parts printed perfectly so its not a mesh issue. printed in ultimaker TPU95 @ 20mm/s speed, .100mm layer height Thank you
  4. That looks a lot better! I don't see any through holes from the slicer. You were correct about the sharp point on the edges, I flattened them out slightly...seems to have fixed the problem. thanks 🤝
  5. It is going to be printed in TPU. It actually printed really good, just a bit of sloppiness in those problem areas the model in blender looks good as far as topology and no duplicate edges or vertices. I will try to flatten the points out at the ends and see if the slicer likes that better.
  6. here is an stl looks like the walls have enough thickness? i could be wrong though Model.stl
  7. thanks for the reply, yea i had it in slot 2 for the longest time, i ended up having to replace the bowden tube as it was causing issues with pva. so i have just kept it in 1 since. ok that makes sense about the timeout , But why only Printcore 2 ? in the picture the PLA was fully retracted , the PVA you see never retracts further than that. its not really causing problems as it works fine, But just curious as to why one and not the other.
  8. Im not sure if this is normal or not, it does seem strange that at the end of a print a Printcore 1 only pulls the filament out like an inch. While Printcore 2 retracts all the way back to the material station? would this have to do with printcore 1 being loaded with pva? maybe that type of filament dosent retract due to its brittleness? Thanks,' Ryan
  9. Any Idea why the model 3/4 up has choppy & missing sections? also trying to find information on the "starts" linetype, as that seems to be where the issue is. Thanks, Ryan
  10. You were right Geert_2! the left stepper motor bolts became sightly lose. The belt was loose and the speed was causing the teeth to skip and causing the print to shift... tightened it up and all good thanks again
  11. what could be causing this shifting in the layers? ive never had this happen before... is this a slicer / code malfunction ? trying to find a solution, not too sure where to start though. Everything looks fine in cura preview with the print layers I’ll try to re-export the model as obj and see if anything changes
  12. is there a way to know what time in the print time a specific layer will be at? I am embedding a magnet at a certain layer, it is a large print and it would be nice to know the exact time i would have to be there for the pause. thanks, Ryan
  13. Does the power switch on the s5 have to be turned on for the dehumidifying feature to be active on the material station? or is enough to have the power plugged in and s5 power switch off?n Thanks, ryan
  14. Yea the more I look into this, I think the printer has to be a high-temp printer that prints PEI filament, or resin printer with high temp resin. It does seem to work for micro injection Molding machines though...under 100 part run per 3d printed Mold. It was mainly the cycle time of 60 secs per part that attracted me , and without the added cnc cost. Im Curious if ultimaker has plans of a printcore that could Handle PEI filament in the future?
  15. I did find that Proto-Pasta makes metal filled HTPLA. On their site it says that when heat treated will be stable to 175c. Thought Id post that in case anyone else was wondering this. hopefully ill be able to test this in the next couple months
  16. Anyone have experience with 3d printing Molds for desktop injection Molding machines? the machine I was looking at recommended at least 160c HDT and I’m wondering if the xstrand filament would be able to handle that? Or is there any other filament that the Ultimaker s5 could print that has a high enough HDT? Thanks, ryan
  17. Hello, The cost specification does not seem to be working. I have Cura 3.5.1 I have entered the filament cost in material preferences, and selected the specific material for the extruders. But when i mouse-over on the main screen it shows the proper material "m" &"g" but $0 for the cost what am i missing? Thanks Ryan
  18. That sounds right. I think maybe I was worried the print core wasn’t “clicked in” properly. So I must have pulled it back out. It seems pretty straight forward the menu and the instructions, I was just having a dull moment. ?‍♂️?
  19. Ha perfect! Was too busy looking through the menu, didn’t see the obvious. thanks, Ryan
  20. Hello, I accidentally hit confirm on the s5 when the changed core wasn’t installed yet. The material extruded back down and I’m not to sure how to get it to go back up so the print core can click in. Just bought this machine so I am quite new with it. ive attached a picture to show what I mean. Thanks, Ryan
  21. leave cura open on PC install "remote desktop" extension for chrome install "chrome remote desktop" app for phone connect to pc from phone with chrome remote desktop
  22. I have just left cura open on my laptop and connected to the laptop through chrome remote desktop. pretty simple, can monitor , pause, abort .. whatever... from anywhere
