  1. I am sorry, that's beyond my knowledge. This is where I think a Mod/Support has to step in.
  2. Around 30°C is great. But 25°C is also still working fine. My experience is that it should be at least 20°C. Anything lower is working very slow. You can pour it down the drain if your sewage is connected to a sewage treatment plant. I also make sure to never have solid or even gummy like bits in what I pour down the drain to make sure there is nothing in there that could cause constipation.
  3. Dissolving almost daily PVA prints. I use a heated magnet stirrer for all my PVA prints with a 2 liter bucket. Into the bucket comes already warm water to speed up the process. The bigger the bucket is, the more time it takes till the water is saturated, which slows the process down by a lot. So I change the water after the first 2 hours. After that I let the water do its thing. Most of my parts are in water for like 16-24 hours. Smaller parts for like 8 hours. The time could be less with some manual removal but I rather give the parts 1 full day for dissolving and drying so I have time for other things than rushing some individual parts.
  4. I did a printer reset as well recently. Since I had other materials loaded, then for the welcome setup required, I skipped this whole welcome setup with the close "X" in the top right corner. Worked fine for me so that I was done with the whole "new" setup in about 5 mins.
  5. Hello there.So I installed a new cura version on my second PC which is supposed to become my Printer-PC.But I noticed that the Layer view looks pretty awkward. I don't get a good look of the layer preview which hinders me to print from that PC.The layer lines are rendered extremely thin, which results in a bad quality of the preview. It's pretty hard to see what exactly gets printed and how the support interact with the object.Also the simulation bar/play-button for the nozzle simulation is completely missing. Besides that, I can't change to preview mode to other view settings like "speed" or "layer height". It only tells me "compatibility mode".I checked the cura general settings and the option to force a compatibility mode is off. On my first PC the layers view looks normal and what I'm used to.
  6. This clip looks really great and might be just what I currently need. I took all my printers in the basement where the humidity already killed some spools...I got some filament boxes now, but need a solution for the tube-to-the-feeder problem. It would be really great if you could share your clip design. I thought putting tube couplers into them, might be a good idea as well...
  7. You need to activate the setting "Build Plate Adhesion type". This opens a little pull down menu. there you can switch between raft, brim and skirt.
  8. Just had the first test run with a buildtak print surface. I had the exact same problem, so I searched for a solution here in the forum. The nozzle making holes into the buildtak additional surface is not really ideal. what I would love to see is an option within the menu (using an ultimaker s3) to choose between different print-surfaces. this way you could choose maybe a glass (standard), buildtak, others... after that the printer knows on which surface he prints on, so that the starting routine could be the right one depending on the surface material.
  9. Hello everyone. I recently bought an Ultimaker S3 for my little Start-Up. I have already worked with an Ultimaker 3 at my old company. Because of that and the huge Marketplace with lots of Materialprofiles for many industrial components i decided to invest into a new Ultimaker S3. The printer works awesome so far. I really like the new Touch display. I also believe the start routine before each print got improved a bit. Now the big update for me and why I bought the UM3S and not one or even two UM3 where the updated feeders. I wanted the ability to print really strong parts with high standards and those hassles-free Profiles from the Marketplace. And here is my current problem which makes the whole package not getting the 100% : All the materials I was testing in the market place were not supported for the UMS3... yet. I read that every company which provides filament for the Marketplace also does the Materialprofile. My problem is not that it seems like those companies hadn't enough time yet to look after the profiles.But these profiles get promoted as if they were done. At least that was what I read in a datasheet about the UMS3. If i had known that i needed to wait for those profiles to get released it would have been possible to plan with that. But to see it now is a bit of an unhappy event. Although we don't have a needed application yet for what we would like to use Materials from the Marketplace, we would like to have some parts ready for the next fair at which we participate. All i currently know is that i have to wait. Fair enough. But how long? The overall Ultimaker experience is really a good one. But for this one I feel a little bit left behind. At least for communication...
