[Cura 4.3.0 Measuring Tool Extension]

I second scott's request.  depending on what you are printed the bounding box is not enough.

[We have big news...]

Mine does too.. has dimples on the font panel that the printers in the photos dont heh🤣 🙄

[Storing PVA and hydroscopic materials]

Would this be acceptable? And the put it in a wate tight tool box (pelican case type)

 

[We have big news...]

So the company is changing their logo?  Im confussed.

[nylon absorbes water? PVA?]

Hi guys, trying to learn from others here a bit. So nylon will take in moinsture after being printed, but that will not impact its strength and mechanical properties?

The prime tower is sometimes useful. I do not usually use it with PLA. Sometimes will with nylon.

 

That the prime tower broke may indicate that your layer bonding is low...possibly printing too cold.

 

try some with and without and see if you find enough difference.

I am not sure. I used the default UM profiles for temp. I have to see how the PVA or if it dissolved from the last print I posted.

 

[New dual nozzle user - stringing while printing]

Does it make sense to build woth a prime tower ? Maybe I can make it larger in diameter so that it doesnt break. Im wondering if the "wasted" material is worth it in terms of print results.

[New dual nozzle user - stringing while printing]

I have done two print so far with my new UM S5. I noticed that both time that printer seem to drag the PVA and regular filament and create stringing.

I am wondering if there is a setting that will help me keep the prints clean. 

 

first time I tired to use a prime tower and it was horrible, the tower broke and I ended up with a print that looked like it had hairs coming from it. see below

second time, you can see the PVA is sort of stringed over the black pla.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

[How to raise model from print bed in Cura]

Thanks, the reminds me of the days I had to model a skirts on my models so that they would stick in a CUBE PRO from 3dsystems. Lol

[PLA or PLA Though, white? (will use PVA)]

Great, I printer a small test model yesterday.

I did it at 0.1 layer height with the 0.4 core. Worked well enough I dont think I will used the 0.2 core I ordered. 

 

I used a brim and 5 hr later it come out. Everything good so far. Loving this printer, it is a little slow though (5hrs) compared to my other abs printer. 

 

Cant wait until I get the white PLA on Monday to reprint it "full size"

 

[PLA or PLA Though, white? (will use PVA)]

@Stefania Dinea , a skirt doesnt seem to do anything other then draw a separate outline. Is that really better than a brim?

Thank you very much. I will look into the VPN.

[PLA or PLA Though, white? (will use PVA)]

thank you fellow architect.

[PLA or PLA Though, white? (will use PVA)]

Thanks, in ordering regular white PLA and 0.2 print head.

[PLA or PLA Though, white? (will use PVA)]

Thanks,  so lets say I want to use UM materials this time. Pla or tough pla?

Have you tried any of those?

[Remove viewing outside of LAN]

Hi guys, I am at work and have left my printer printing at home.

I was hoping to use the ultimaker app to keep and eye on my printer. Is this not possible while being away?

would it work if I assign an IP to my printer that I can access remotely (like you would with a NAS) ? I was hoping there was some easy p2p connection.

[PLA or PLA Though, white? (will use PVA)]

Hi guys, I need to print an Arch project in my S5. I am wondering that will give me the best result.

planning to print a .06mm layer height with 0.4 nozzle using PVA. Maybe I'ill try "Normal" if the time get absurd.

 

I want the final model to be white and not necessarily too shiny - essentially what I have seen in the marketing material for Ultmaker arch models.

Thank you

[How slow is too slow?]

^great answer thank you.

[How slow is too slow?]

Thank you, I noticed that you can manually override it. So I was thinking that depending of the detail and featured on the part (curves and holes) you could slow it down a little to bet better resolution or fidelity?

[How to raise model from print bed in Cura]

Found it, thank you guys.

And thank you for the raft recommendation.

[How slow is too slow?]

I noticed the feed-rate setting for the extrudes. What is "normal" and would be considered too slow? I am gusseting that just like in CNC this has to do with the filament being printed?

Thank you

[How to raise model from print bed in Cura]

Hi there, then I type 1mm in the Z input to raise my model from the build plate, Cura drops it back down.

Is there a checkbox of toggle I need to enable?  I want to print my parts suspended by PVA 100% like I do on my other printer.

 

Thank you

[What is the smallest thing you have made?]

Does ultimaker that thin of a nozzle?

[Info about S5]

Wow those are really ugly prints...

[S5 - Top rods telegraphing on front panel]

I received this printed as a second replacement from my local reseller. First printer has scratches and scuffs. Now this second printer is showing imprint and dents (I can see and feel them) on the front panel from the bearing seats behind it. This is not what I would expect of a 5K+ product. 

 

I really want to give this brand a try, so please Ultimaker offer a solution.
