    Print raft and skirt together

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted

    I dont want to add it in CAD, the CAD file should only contain the required design. I face an issue once in a while where because of raft not being printed properly the surface of the print over that portion of the raft gets a bit distorted.  To combat this properly I increased the raft margin which I had decreased earlier. Also added a priming step in start G code, sometimes though the primed filament gets in the way of the print.

     

    In simplify 3d we can add a skirt and raft together, and I usually do that. Wanted to know if it was possible in CURA too

    The reduced area on my Ender-3 on Y axis is a bit of an annoyance.

    Hey droxon, 

     

    One work around is that you can go to definition file for ender3 located at c:/>program files>ultimaker cura 4.5 > resources >definitions

     

    open the creality_ender3.def.json file in notepad ++ and remove the following line.

     

    "platform": "creality_ender3.stl"

     

    You can also change the size of your build plate if needed in the definition file.

     

    Restart Cura and check out the build plate.

     

    This will only work on your local computer where you are slicing.

     

    Super thick raft layer

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted

    I use 2 slicers regularly for work, Simplify 3D and Cura...

     

    In S3d the raft layers are extremely thick , and help ABS bed adhesion, the cura raft tends to be a lot thinner.

     

    I tried going into the raft settings and increasing the thickness of the base raft layers, but I am not getting it as thick as S3d.

     

    Has anyone else noticed this? would like to replicate this setting into cura.

     

    Thanks !

    Ultimaker 2 extended nozzle clog

    in UltiMaker 3D printers

    Posted

    My nozzle in UM2E+ keeps clogging after few hours of printing,

     

    I checked the nozzle and it seems fine , I also checked and cleaned the extruder mechanism. 

    The cooling fan to cool the heat break runs very slowly. Also there seems to be a leak of filament above the nozzle.

     

    Could someone point me in the right direction about what needs to be done, I have attached a picture for reference.

    Ultimaker ACP sheet assembly

    in Third party products & modifications

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    The ultimaker frame has inspired me to use ACP sheets for the frame of my design.

     

    I went through the files of ultimaker 3 available to git hub.

     

    The joints of one frame and the next are intersecting into each other. Is that part of the design ?

    Has anyone used the drawings provided by ultimaker to make a product in ACP.

     

    I have attached a picture of a joint where there is an intersection. Would like to know if that is how ultimaker intended it to be or is it an error somewhere

     

    Thanks

    Solution for being unable to buy un-warped garolite to print nylon on

    in Improve your 3D prints

    Posted

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions 

     

    @malcolmthemole I live in chennai as well !! Relative humidity reaches as high as 70% at times.

    Will try drying my filament and starting another print.

     

    I also noticed another thing that my sheet of tufnol was not flat , I had clipped it to the edges and it kind of had an unusual bend in few places, I plan to cut it into a smaller piece and use double side adhesive tape and stick it to a glass plate. 

     

    Does adding PVA glue stick to the tufnol help in adhesion ?

     

    Also lastly, I read a few forums that mentioned printing a raft with PETG and then printing nylon over it. I also read a comment on youtube or somewhere that mentions the usage of teraoka tape that nylon sticks to with no problem.

     

    I hope in the future printing nylon becomes as easy as PLA, 

     

    Regards,

    Hussain

    Hi,

     

    I managed to get my hands on Tufnol and tried printing nylon on it,

     

    It managed to print the first layer before getting completely warped and dislocate from the bed surface.

    Would like to ask you if there is any other method of getting nylon to attach.

     

    The nylon I used had absorbed quite a lot of moisture and kept making a fizzing sound while being extruded, does this reduce the adhesive ability of Tufnol ?? 

     

    Regards,

    Hussain.

    Hi,

     

    I am from India,

     

    We do not have the brand garolite here and hence would like to know if there are any alternate materials that can be used.

     

    I am trying to use Fr-4 glass epoxy sheets. These are layers of glass fibers compressed with resin.

     

    any suggestions would be useful

     

    Edit 1:

     

    The nylon simple peels of the glass epoxy sheet within a few minutes, it simply is unable to stick to the epoxy sheet.

    Ultimaker Firmware 5.2 stable

    in Firmware

    Posted · Edited by hussainsail2002

    I Have recently purchased 3 Ultimaker 3 machines.

     

    I have updated the firmware on all three machines on installation.

     

    The X Y calibration has issues. The filament from extruder 2 will not extrude filament. This happens on all the machines.

     

    When I print with the second extruder alone it prints fine. But when I use dual printing it becomes a mess as the X and Y are not calibrated. 

     

    Few others have faced this issue but unable to find a solution.

     

    Is there any way to go back to an oldfirmware from 5.2.8..... ??? I want to do this without opening the complete machine. 

     

    EDIT 1:

     

    I planned on doing the firmware recovery method by opening up the machine .

     

    The site for downloading the image is not available   http://software.ultimaker.com/jedi/releases/recovery.img.

     

    it gives an error 404 page not found

    Nozzle offset probe failed

    Recently Bought 3 Ultimaker 3 3D printers....

     

    Having the same issue on all of them.

     

    I am unable to calibrate the X Y offset as it gives me the following error

     

    Nozzle offset probe failed. Please check the nozzles and bed and try again.

     

    The bed seems fine as single extruders are working fine and sticking correctly. I have changed the print cores , and tried.

     

    Also the extruder 2 does not extrude any material during the X Y calibration, but prints fine by itself. when the print core is changed , the extruder 1 does not extrude.

     

    I have the latest firmware installed.

     

    I am having the issue on all 3 machines.
