It is becoming difficult to get hold of 2.85mm filaments in a lot of cases now. Surprising that there isn't a conversion kit available from Ultimaker by now.

Sounds like the machine is cold. Without running a print, try setting the bed temp to 60 degrees and leaving it to warm up for 20min or so then try again.

I had this happen, tried everything you have. What fixed it in the end was to go back a firmware version from 8.2.1 to 8.2.0.

The feature should be made available again, waiting for everything to cool down only to wait for everything to heat up again is a frustrating waste of time and energy especially in the case of an aborted print.

where did the skip cooldown option go??

no longer available

Generally materials aren't compatible i.e. they all (pla, abs, pets, pa) require different settings. Or are you meaning material brand compatibility?

Unless there is a plugin for automatically scaling available somewhere you are stuck with manually scaling each time. As far as I'm aware Cura only works in mm.

Only because I have done it myself a few times, but have you got PLA running on PETG settings? Looks like could be running too hot and curling where the shallow overhang starts.

Yes the cold pulls work well at that temp for both. I assume it is more about keeping the nozzle heat expanded enough to not grip the filament solid!?

About 90 degrees Celsius I think, don't think GR5 was trying to be condescending:)

Useful Cura related information in the Cura forum, don't see a problem with this.

It is a significant ongoing cost for fairly basic quite often essential functionality.

The subscription version of Cura supports STEP files amongst others.

Wood filament does wear away brass nozzles surprisingly quickly, need a hardened steel nozzle really.

Printing from project files helps with this, as you slice and produce a new print file with the material you have in the selected machine, if they don't tally up then you get a warning. Alternatively digital factory keeps track of material selection too. Human error can still conquer all obviously.

Diamond has amazingly good thermal conductivity, vastly better than ruby and much better than brass too. So you would be better off with diamond on this basis rather than seeing much benefit from the increased hardness.

Interesting update, after switching from wifi to ethernet networking I have not had this happen again.

Agreed, no worries apology accepted:)

Hygroscopic materials are not going to feel damp precisely because there are hygroscopic.

Doesn't look like wet filament is the issue at all in your prints, looks like wall settings or retract.

Think you are going off on a tangent here, PA is as chemically inert as PLA and doesn't chemically react with water. Both are hygroscopic, PA more so than PLA. Processing either with a significant water content will have issues.

Disagree, some PLA seems to miraculously avoid moisture uptake or at least seem not to suffer from it, but generally it needs to be kept dry. Poor bed adhesion, extrusion blobs, stringing and inconsistencies all things being equal are usually down to water in the PLA.

I'm finding that which ever z seam option choice is picked the result in the slicer turns out as sharpest corner! UPDATE: works fine with some existing project files not in others.

Bambu Lab machines don't have ethernet which is annoying and I think the wifi is 2.4ghz only like Ultimaker. I am sure the wifi setup is much more straight forward on Bambu lab though!
