Thanks for the tip. I found the HT PLA from proto pasta (CDP12805) but it is not clear to me the working temperature. I sent them an email I think we'll go for the CPE+ or PC since it is easier to order for us cheers,

Hi, Yes, I saw the material page and narrowed down the choices to the CPE+ and PC (we need it black, it has some LEDs inside) Let's say it has a prism shape with 10x10x5 cm3 (4x4x2 inches3) and we will need supports (new design to be made). According to the Ultimaker Nylon properties, it has a glass transition temperature of 50ºC. And yes, it seems CPE and PETG is the same thing (different brand names) thanks

Hi, Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately PETG is not available in any of the vendors I can choose from. CPE+ and PC seem promising but apparently difficult to print CPE+ seems easier to support. Which one is easier to print? thanks

Hi there, We have a S5 we use mainly to print PLA, tough PLA, PVA. 0.4mm nozzles, everything very "standard" We have designed a part which will be exposed to a temperature (working conditions) of 80ºC. It's a case hosting some electronics and LEDs. Could you recommend a filament able to resist high temperature and easy to print? I found a table and the candidates would be: abs, hips, nylon, asa, polycarbonate, polypropylene I see different information about ABS regarding the maximum working temperature. I'd have to check each manufacturer value. Nylons also seems easy to print, but I saw it is flexible. Is it very flexible? All the others are more difficult to print. What would you recommend? thanks regards,

good point actually it is thanks

I spoke too soon In one of the sides there is still the outer wall. Small, but there:

perfect! it works thanks

Hi, When I slice I get a lot of support around the part. I want to remove it. I've tried with the support blocker unsuccessfully. Is it possible to get rid of it? thanks regards,

ok

Hi, I made a comment about a feature on Facebook and I was sent here. My proposal was having a panning, zooming and rotating system like the one of Preform. When selecting a part it would be great to have a sphere or the rotating rings, as well as the bars for panning and zooming. Here a picture from Preform. Also, click and drag to create a selecting rectangle in order to select different parts at the same time thanks

great! i think we will go for the drybox thanks

ok, I will do the overnight drying. and study the drybox purchasing option. Should PLA also be put into the box? then the Ultimaker won't recognize the materials with the NFC chip. One can just introduce manually and that's it, right? thanks

Hi there, I left something printing on the weekend, and when I arrived today the printer was stopped in an early stage with an error saying there is no material. Both of them are there. One can see that the support material, PVA, is not printed. I "changed" it (unload, load, same spool, not event taking it out) and just a bit came out. The material came a bit out, but not much. I tired to resume the print but again an error. Is it possible the PVA is too old? cheers,

Hi, A colleague brought me a sliced file to print out. He doesn't have the printer installed in his computer. I have taken the file, use the parts and sliced them again. When I send the to the printer, via network, they go to a queue "Waiting for first available" and never printing The printer is connected and online Why is this happening? Is it related to creating the files in another computer? thanks regards,

great thanks for all the comments

Ahá, now I saw what a Polybox is (I was thinking something different). 70 euros, something to think about. I'll put the PVA in an oven at 50ºC for two hours thanks

I was afraid about it getting too much water. The PVA spool has been mounted since we have the printer (ca. 6 months). We use the printer often so it doesn't make sense to put it in and out I guess there is no solution for us thanks regards,

Hi, I have changed the hotends to the 0.8 to try; the PVA didn't print correctly, then I changed back to 0.4 and after many problems for the XY calibration now the PVA is not working well. Attached two pictures; in one we can see how the support broke and fell of and in the other, during printing a strange layer. Why is this happening? thanks regards,

I agree any news on that?

will do so thanks

Hi there, Yesterday the printed prompted me about the firmware update. I started it and today it is still "updating". It got stuck. Attached a picture showing it. What can I do? thanks regards,

Shouldn't it be cleaner? or if it doesn't retract it is faster? Here another picture, there are many of these "loose threads" making a very bad looking result. Why is that?

I got some traces on the infill (picture attached); I didn't change the Combing option; is this from combing or maybe the nozzle is not well aligned? it seems to make a noise when traveling some times thanks

that was a fast answer! It will be some work to redo the letters (with Catia is very annoying); with the thin walls option it makes something a bit weird, but now it is readable; I'll print and see what happens thanks

Hi, I'm building a plate to put nuts on it of with screws to have on my desk. Designed in Catia, exported to STL, imported in Cura 3.6. When I see the part with the solid view, I can see the letters (picture attached); one can see clearly the M, but when slicing it, in the layer view the M becomes 2 sticks and 1 point (no diagonal bars). It is very strange, can't the Ultimaker make this small detail? thanks regards,
