    You have to realize that there are many thousands of UM printers out there but only a handful of complaints on the forum.  Something like 0.1% of people with UM printers complaining on the forum is not convincing enough.  However if all 10 or so distributors each hear from 10 resellers each hear from 10 UM owners, (1000 complaints) that will get the attention of UM and hopefully they will disable this upgrade until a few more things are worked out.  New people are upgrading their firmware every day.

    You have to realise that after forking out over £6k for a 3D printer i would like the supplying company to value my custom and offer timely solutions to problems as they arise.

    Have you checked with your resellers? They are the ones that are supposed to be your main point of contact for service and warranty issues.

     

     Yes. they told me they are waiting on solutions from ultimaker themselves

    I have to say I too am disappointed with the lack of updates. One of the main reasons i chose Ultimaker over Raise or my 1st 3d printer was their support seems to be second to none.

     

    It appears my conclusion was misguided

    This hotfix will allow updates for printers by means of a USB stick.

     

    Regarding the network problems, can you dump the log files to a USB stick and email them to me? Send me a private message through the 'message'  button at the top of my profile page.

    done. thanks

    For my part I have already tried to reset my S5, but this has not worked anything ... the Wifi still does not work ...

    I have the same issue. But it started before the recent update. 

     

    I stared a thread to discuss it here

    Can you tell me the printer type and if this happens on the first update or the second and if you are updating from the internet or USB. 

    Cannot verify means there is a corruption in the downloaded files and it cannot verify it's signature, you can try to reboot and try again or try updating over USB as suggested in the first post. 

    Its an S5

    2nd update (first worked fine)

    i was using USB

     

    Thanks

    That does not seem to make sense to me as if getting moist made it brittle, it would do so when dissolving it. PVA by nature is going to soften and dissolve when moist or wet.

     

    Why would it get brittle?

     

     

    Yeah i was skeptical at first aswell. 

    But sticking it in the oven reverses the issue for me every time!

    This is definitely not a humidity issue as humidity would make it softer and not brittle.

     

    In my experience this is not the case.

     

    My filaments, especially PVA, have often become brittle, and drying them out in the oven for 6-8 hours has restored them in all cases.

     

    I've dried out my spool of PVA 3 times now and its still printing flawlessly.

    @ScanHD Can you please DM me the logs of your printer? I would like to see what is happening in your case and see where we can help. You can also email them to w.elfring@ultimaker.com 

    
Settings -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Save log files to USB

     

     

    i will do this when the current print finishes in about 28hours

    Post your latest print!

    This was a work project that I decided to print myself. It's a really great model!!

    The original was going to be investment cast for a Bentley owners club hood ornament in the USA.

    Printed at 0.1 in innofil white pla pro1 with ultimaker PVA support.

    Build time was just short of 2 days.

    Importing STL into Sketchup

    in Industries

    Hi everyone,

     

    I got a question regarding importing STL file, specifically into Sketchup.

     

    We want to print a 3 story house (every floor seperatly). I got all the floors as an STL file from the Architect.

    To print the floors we need to split them in segments as the scale will be 1:50. 

     

    Only the STL files show up as this:

     

    Its a real work to remove all the extra lines that are not needed (as STL creates triangles out of every surface).

     

    Is there another way to import an STL into sketchup without all the extra lines?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    They probably sent you STL as they knew you were going to print it?

     

    My advice would be to get the solid CAD files, STP etc. and do the modifications while solid. Then you can convert to STL yourself for printing.
