  1. Hi, There was no good end (both failed, but one much more than the other), in any case the not failed sections look nice. Thanks for the tips, very useful I'm still puzzled with the support; it always builds around the walls, even if there is nothing on the top. Here attached some pictures of a glass, the PVA goes all the way up cheers
  2. So, I tried to print the siphon again. I wanted to try the finest layer height, 0.06mm; it turned out to be a failure, not because of the supports but because of the attachment to the bed. Attached some pictures. There was no brim, was that the problem? I didn't follow the print out, and at the end I saw the failure: I guess the nozzles were going over the lifted (not attached to the bed) parts; could they get damaged? thanks
  3. It's not removing model (nothing was printed yet, it only started warming up and levelling), but there is like an "error screen" one has to touch/click. Next time I get it I'll send a picture thanks regards,
  4. Hi, My printer and computer are far away. I like very much the fact that I can just send a job and it will start printing (as a side note: in the case of the Form2 I need to go to push a button, which is annoying, and they will not change this). Some times I send a job to the printer, I realize I want to modify something so I cancel it with the "queue manager". The problem I have, is that when I want to submit it again (with the modifications) it won't start; I have to go to the printer. Is there a way I can send a new job from the computer after canceling? thanks regards,
  5. Or triangular; as long as it has a closed cross section would work. I asked partly to learn more about supports. I'll try the round shape (for demonstration purposes it looks nicer, we have students from schools visiting some times) with a small layer height cheers,
  6. Ok, I will try these retraction options. I'm using pretty much the defaults from Cura, I understand they are optimized for the S5. Honestly I'm a bit surprised about this, because it makes the printouts look ugly with the standard settings cheers
  7. Good idea How can I set both origins to the same place?
  8. In the description of Thingiverse they suggest not using support, but I was worried about the very top of the tube. I also took this as an exercise to understand supports better thanks
  9. Hi I printed this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2249711 I put too much support (PVA) and it is impossible to remove. The idea now would be putting very little so water can flow and clean the PVA easily. I think the best scenario would be two vertical walls following the axis to help to close the pipe. How can I build the support like this? I created a 10% infill with line pattern, with the result of the attached pictures, but: - the walls on the right side are cutting the flow of water - it creates a base (like a brim) PVA, why so big? - it creates support on the inner bottom and top walls, why? the bottom one doesn't help; the top will be not be supported to help with the upper PLA wall - the crossing walls on the right side go out of the pipe, why? thanks regards,
  10. Hi, I'm still learning with the S5 printer. Here two pictures of two parts (PCBs mockups); as one can see there are some dash lines on the top, even some smaller solid lines. Where do they come from? I am using old PLA from a Prusa printer. The nozzle is 0.4AA, layer height 0.2 and I use the default speeds, temperature that Cura 3.6 proposes Thanks regards,
  11. Hi, I have a Form2 and I am very happy with the options in the touchscreen. It would be nice to have similar things such: - Reprint (choose something which was already printed and print it again). My computer is far away from the printer so I find it convenient - See the number of layer printing out of the total number of layer - Also when it is preparing to print, read exactly what is doing (heating up, leveling...) - See parameters like the temperature of the nozzle, bed, the nozzle in use... some parameters. We had a prusa 3 with a very rudimentary screen but it gave nice information. cheers,
  12. Thanks I'll try on Monday The first steps are always the most difficult
  13. Hi, We just got an Ultimaker S5, I've been setting it up and when feeding the PVA I didn't push properly so the filament didn't reach the hotend. During the setup I was asked to wait until it arrives but it wasn't moving (then with the second filament I saw at the end it moved very slowly, maybe it was moving but it was half way). How can I get it moved? I tried to remove the tube to be able to cut it and start again, but I can't remove it. thanks PS: I must say that the first setup wasn't easy: from removing the box clamps to feeding, wifi..
