  1. Hi, it might be off topic, but your feeder is assembled wrong. the head of the set screw for the feeder tension must be inside the feeder housing, your's seem to be outside. That for the feeder tension is incorrect, the indicator normally is placed mid-scale. Regards
  2. Oh, and as addendum after reading the question properly: the "14mm-procedure" comes first and lays the basis for succesful active leveling. After that, just do a manual leveling via printer menu. The screw at the back should stay in position, while leveling is done by the coder wheel, the two front screws will do the fine adjustment, so there won't be much offset from the 14mm. Regards
  3. Hi, I assume it's an UM3. If so, you've two possibilities: just measuring the distance between the top of the platform and the bottom of the heat bed with a ruler or similar, using one of these: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/um3-buildplate-distance-tool If it's not an UM3, method 2 doesn't work because of the different shape of the platform. Regards
  4. Hi, here's the thread @CarloK mentioned: And I can confirm first hand: it works great. Regards
  5. Hi walkerj, as an addendum to Ulrich's post, your feeder seems to be assembled wrong. I think I see the head of the tension set screw on your foto being outside on top of the feeder housing. But this screw head must be locates INSIDE the feeder housing, otherwise it's impossible to set the feeder tension (the marker will never go down to the middle position, which is the correct tension). Regards
  6. I guess the most elegant way would be using a dedicaded "USB port blocker" (physical lock with key).
  7. Hallo Gosman, in Cura unter "Konfiguration" -> "Cura konfigurieren..." -> "Allgemein" nach unten rollen, Auswahlmenü unter "Standardverhalten beim Öffnen einer Projektdatei" öffnen und "stets nachfragen" auswählen. Grüße nach Regensburg
  8. Hi walkerj, thank you for the feedback. I'm happy we could help. Regards
  9. Hi, as @IRobertI mentioned and you described, it's a configuration mismatch with print core 2. As your problem and solution both happen in Cura, I assume that you didn't tell Cura that print core 2 has been changed to "BB". Is your UM3 connected to Cura by LAN or WIFI? If yes, you easily can syncronize the actual setting of the printer to Cura. If not, you must select the print core manually, the same way you told Cura which material is used. If you have inserted a "BB"-core into the printer, but it tells it's "AA", you should refer to the following thread: Regards
  10. Hi SimonCrusoe, I just copied my answer in a similar thread: it seems your printcore is programmed wrong. There's a hopefully useful thread in this forum where some reprogramming procedures are shown: I hope it helps. Regards
  11. Da gab es für Cura (glaube Version 2?) mal 'ne schöne Anleitung dazu: Cura print guide - Printing with two colors.pdf Die Screenshots mögen veraltet sein, das Prinzip und die einzelnen Schritte sind aber nach wie vor die selben. Grüße
  12. @zerspaner_gerd, ich hab' mich da wohl etwas mißverständlich ausgedrückt, oder Deine Frage nicht richtig verstanden. Sorry. im Feeder für den S5 bzw. S3 verbaut ist ein Durchflußsensor, der von Ultimaker auch offiziell so bezeichnet wird. Da der Sensor erkennt, wenn mit dem Filamentfluß "irgendwas" nicht stimmt, ist er quasi ein "intelligenter" Runout Sensor. Ich hab' zum beispiel getestet, ob der Sensor auch anspricht, indem ich im laufenden Druck den kleinen Hebel am Feeder umgelegt (und damit die Federspannung weggenommen) habe. Die Warnmeldung im Drucker, daß das Filament leer zu sein scheint, kam ziemlich prompt, zusammen mit Druckpause und dem ganzen Rest, der dazugehört. Daß in dem Beitrag, den @UlrichC-DE oben verlinkt hat, nur von Runout Sensor gesprochen wird, ist wahrscheinlich reines understatement, oder der Autor wußte es nicht besser. Grüße
  13. Im Ergebnis ja. Runout Sensor ist nur ein einfacher "Filament da? ja/nein"-Sensor, während der UM Flow Sensor aktiv den Filamentfluß mißt und (soweit ich das aus den verstreuten Quellen richtig rausgelesen habe) bei einem Wert von unter 80% Alarm schlägt. also nicht nur, wenn das Filament ausgeht, sondern auch, wenn der Filamentfluß aufgrund einer (teil-)verstopften Düse oder anderen Gründen auf unter 80% des Sollwerts sinkt.
  14. Hallo zusammen, hier der richtige Thread: (einfach zum Anfang hochscrollen, irgendwie funktioniert die Zitierfunktion nicht richtig). In der im Anfangsbeitrag verlinkten Anleitung wird sehr gut beschrieben, wie die S5 Feeder (Version 1, die, die's bei igo3d gibt) auf den UM3 angepaßt werden können und in der FW freigeschaltet werden. Ich kann nur sagen: bei mir funktioniert es super! Grü´ße
  15. Hi bigdawg, the culprit is a wrong entry in the registry (but don't ask me what's it exactly). The quick and dirty solution that worked for me is installing a cleanup tool (I used piriform's ccleaner) and run a registry checkup/cleaning process. After that, the cura-related icons reappeared. Regards
  16. Hi Maarten, it seems your printcore is programmed wrong. There's a hopefully useful thread in this forum where some reprogramming procedures are shown: I hope it helps. Regards
  17. Hi, the maintenance shedule provided by Ultimaker: https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013135039-Maintenance-schedule-for-S-line-printers is helpful and strongly recommended. Regards
  18. Thank you, @polygonfuture, for this great instructions 😃.
  19. Hi Max, you're searching for the stone of wisdom, as the main problems in 3D-printing are: build plate adhesion while printing is insufficient build plate adhesion after printing is to strong Any advice strongly depends from the build plate material and the printing material. Best point to begin with is using the print bed temparature and adhesion method labeled on your filament. On glassbeds, use glue stick or adhesion sheets. And: it's a stony way of trial and error. Regards
  20. For USA, check www.fbrc8.com which is the official Ultimaker reseller for USA. @fbrc8-erin is also an active member of this forum 😉. Regards
  21. Yes, just the sensor board is not enough. That's why I thought of using the whole S5 feeder assembly (which would also update the abrasion-resistant feeder wheel).
  22. Hi 3dprntz, there was an interesting post by @CarloK two weeks ago, regarding to using the flow sensor on an UM3: " @Enigma_M4 Yes, it's possible and works great on my UM3 but not officially and requires a small change to the printer's software configuration. You could even experiment with 1 feeder first before spending the money on the 2nd feeder. When desired I can create a new topic explaining this in more detail. " Unfortunately, the explanation of the required software changes has not yet been made; perhaps he's to busy at the moment? Regards
  23. Hi, Nylon is a tricky material that tends to warp. I had best results using the Ultimaker adhesion sheets and a closed build chamber (the UM3(E) advanced printing kit is the best choice for both). But sometimes it can't prevent warping at all. Regards
  24. Smithy was just a tick faster. The video, provided by @fbrc8-erin, is the best advice for your issue. Regards
