J'ai drop une nouvelle pièce dans CURA en gardant les mêmes paramètres pour voir, et je l'ai agrandie aux limites et ça marche... Pas de souci côté imprimante, elle l'accepte. J'ai tenté d'enlever le texte pour ne garder que la plaque, ça marche pas, et le texte sans la plaque, ça marche pas non plus plus. Donc pas spécialement un confli de buse double, ni le profil CURA, donc... Ouais, un truc avec les pièces à proprement parlé. Erf ! Frustrant que CURA ne détecte pas de problème et envoi un beau fichier, qui est lu avec succès sur la machine, mais qui ne peut être lancé !

Comment je check ça ? En tout cas j'ai vérifié dans les settings machine que le truc de repère centré était bien décoché.

Pas de raft, juste un brim. Me suis demandé pour un truc qui flotterait en dehors de la scène, on m'a filé une 3D pas vraiment exemplaire que j'ai du reprendre donc c'était possible, maaaais pas trouvé et surtout, CURA refuse de slicer si y'a un truc qui dépasse / qui est en dehors du volume d'impression. Là ça passe direct sans souci.

Yep, le texte en PLA Tough noir et la base en PLA Tough blanc. Les buses ont bien été changées en conséquence, sur CURA et sur machine bien sur. Et j'ai déjà fait de l'impression noir sur blancs avec succès ^^

Testé également, avec 3 tours puis zéro, et j'ai aussi scale down le tout à 75%, les marges sont alors énormes, et j'ai le même souci. Et y'avait que 10 tours ci-dessus, max, je respecte jamais les 18 par défauts et j'en ai rarement plus que 3-5 ^^

Hey there, I'm having an error I've never encountered before (there is still some haha !) : "this file does not match the fabrication volume". It appears when I click on the white exclamation dot on the red circle, next to the print job which trigger this issue. Actually, it even appear for my last 2 recent print job, which are using the same profile, and both of them are perfectly fine using CURA (Quality 0.15mm just a bit tuned) : I don't know what's wrong, it fits the volume with some good margin. I really need to print this 2 files ASAP 😕 By the way, the error is my own translation from french "Ce fichier ne correspond pas au volume de fabrication". I tried to check the exact english error but did not find it yet. Any idea ? I definitely can't share the 3mf unfortunately but as I said, just some basic Quality 0.15mm with 3-4 parameters tuned, the usual one i'm tuning for each print. Edit, just tried scaling down to 75% and recentering the text (which is using the 2nd extruder for bi-color) and... It does not work either while margins are huges.

Hello ! Je rencontre une erreur que je n'avais pas encore eu, sur UMS5 : "ce fichier ne correspond pas au volume fabrication". Alors que... ben si, avec de la marge : Cura parvient à le slicer sans aucun souci : Mais notre UMS5 détecte ce fichier (et un autre, très similaire, fait en même temps) avec un point d'exclamation blanc sur pastille rouge qui donne l'erreur précédemment citée (pas trouvé la traduction exacte de l'erreur en anglais...) et je ne peux donc pas les lancer. Une idée ? Pour info, Cura 5.3.0, et j'ai regardé cette histoire de zéro machine déclaré dans CURA, le truc de l'origine centrée est bien décoché. De toute facon j'ai jamais eu le problème avant, en occupant toute la zone jusqu'aux limites limites. Comme d'habitude, je ne peux catégoriquement pas partager le .3mf, désolé... Mais c'est juste le drop de la pièce, dans un profil "qualité 0.15" légèrement modifié, 3 fois rien. Edit : je viens de tenter de scale down à 75% et recentrer le texte (qui utilise la 2nd buse, au cas ou) et les marges sont vraiment énormes par rapport au plateau, et ça ne marche toujours pas.

Thanks to both of you ! I guess we'll have to try for ourselves as conditions might vary a lot. I hope a 1 year duration use of printed parts would reward us with enough knowledges without the need to wait even more haha ! Your answers are at least a good start that this is not instantly impossible. Now let's find out with more mechanical end-part 😄

The thing is, FFF will add a major modification to the state of the material. Layers construction will affect a lot the ability to withstand humidity, water / air sealing, structural resilience, etc. Material Data Sheet is not a big help here, and I can't find proper studies / experiences / feedback of people using FFF for End-Part able to will 5+ years in harsh environment (no under direct rain or sunlight, though, for most). Except some guys who used FFF basic material for garden decoration, which is a good start actually, while not very promising. I keep thinking that most components could really be printed with some well chosen filament, be they classic one (PETG, ASA, etc.) but I can't find use-case / paper about them being exposed for year in outdoor conditions. BTW, if SLA / SLS with proper cheap-ish (not metal haha) unlock this ability, that's interesting too, and I have a bit more insight since there is way more professional use about them than FFF. Thing is, it needs to be cheaper than conventional manufacturing for small (50-100) batches.

Hey there, So i'm wondering if it's actually possible to get 3d prints that would last for 5+ years with, let's say, 75% of its initial specs, when exposed to outdoor condition ? If so, which material ? Please do elaborate regarding humidity / UV / thermal condition if you have some knowledges / experiences about it. I can be expensive materials, using expensive 3d printers (up to 25k$ let's say) of any tech currently available, be it filament, powder, etc. But the priority would be for desktop FDM printers, i'm really struggling to find comprehensive information about it, apart from the very basic "PLA / PETG / blabla will degrade when exposed to UV and Humidity or excessive temperature". There is maybe some not so common filament that actually are pretty resilient. Maybe even for our UMS5 ? 😉 What about PEAK on a dedicated printer ? Does it better handle outdoor condition fairly well ? Do you have other material in mind ? The context is the following : being able to print parts and components to equip our products (I can't really say more, but exposed to outdoor condition 😛) just like we would do with plastic injection mold, on elements that are not really constrained mechanically speaking, simple ones (and other not that simple, geometry wise), they would just need to handle the environmental condition during years. Maybe it's something that won't exist yet but I can't find proper data about it. Thank you in advance !

Sooo... Still no answer to this request, @Link ?

Do you need dual extruder printer ? If so, well, there is not much available at "ok-price" as a desk printer. I have a UMS5 that I can hardly recommend, but I admit that I don't know much about other dual extruder desk printer. If you don't, then go check some Youtube video about recent printers, there is a bunch really really cool, and you'll probably end up with a BambuLab machine. Don't by a Ultimaker printer if you're not extensively using dual extruder. Precision won't really exceed 0.05mm and is not worth it either. 0.06-0.1mm is enough for me for most application, even when I need some visual. But it's not Resin-tier precision.

Amen to this comprehensive message.

Thank you ! I have not read a single review about RSPro, nothing comes on the internet except... Link to buy the filament on RSPro. It feels weird to have such a big brand selling filament without any findable feedback, so yep, thanks, we might try some ! Kimya seems to be a very good filament fabricant indeed, and we'll most certainly try some specific one as well. I'm still wondering which daily filament would be the best among the one RSPro is selling... I'd really love to read that Ultimaker PETG is among the best one haha, would be convenient ! PLA Tough already is good by is lacking a few degree celsius resistance unfortunately. I'm often dealing with 60°C air ambient and PLA won't last that much, i've tried.

Thanks for your feedback, I did not know about nGen filament, unfortunately it's not available on RSPro which is my specific demand, otherwise I already have a good set of material with my initial supplier. I've already asked on the French Forum but not as many answers as here and the question is quite generic 🙂

I don't get it... My god, It would mean they're not able to add it. How can you call that a "nerd screen" ? This is just a very very very basic information to be displayed, aaaaall other printers does it ! It allows to understand an issue or a potential improvement to be made in the slicer at a giver height, to re-print something from a layer and glue it to the other part that failed, to... Well, it's just so basic that it does not need explanation, there is possible drawback to have it on the screen ! Come on 😞

Mmh, same I'd say. Uninstalled Settings Guide, made sure SideBar was not installed, I've restarted CURA, but alas... It's seems to me that it reached the around 25-30% more rapidly, but now it's stuck at this step and idle at 8-9% CPU usage. I don't even know if it's moving very slowly or not. Yeah, nah, did not change anything unfortunately. I'm like stuck right now with an order, and I really need to work as intended. And of course I can't go back on my previous laptop. Why does it only use 8-10% of the CPU while there is nothing else running ?

SideBar GUI nope, Settings Guide yep, it's a must have 😛 Microsoft PowerToys, thought it was a joke at first to designate the Office suite, but it's some real products 😮 Nope, I don't think so, did not install anything like this and I don't think Admin / IT would have either. So, settings guide maybe ? It's worth a try then !

Hey there, I'm working with CURA on a new work laptop, more powerful and recent than the previous one, and I got really really slow slicing, or even impossible one, like, nothing happen, the progressing bar won't go further than 20-40% for 20-30 minutes. It's taxing 100% of the CPU during a few minutes, then goes down about 8-15%, and nothing from the dedicated GPU. Same 3mf were used on the previous laptop (3-4 min sometimes !), it was quite long but ended up working. I can't share theses specific 3mf, it's confidential, and other light 3mf are doing OK but still quite longer I'd say. The new laptop : a Dell with i7 12850HX, NVidia RTX A1000, 32Go ram Is this an issue with CURA 5.3.0 ? I'm not sure i've used it on my previous laptop. Or this is some kind of bad optimization with newer CPUs ?

I really don't understand why this is still not implemented... This is such basic feature 😕 This is really easy to benchmark what other 3d printers show on their screen and UMS5 almost dispend nothing useful. Please... Add some layer count on the screen, at the very very very least. It's like driving your car without having the speedometer 😞

Yes, PVA is notoriously difficult to print. But UM PVA is perhaps the most terrible of them, and need to be changed. UMS5 is sold a reliable 2 head printers that will work "plug an play" with theses specifications and... It's not. I'm also talking of Ultimaker PLA and other UM material but let's stick to PLA as it's the most common and easy filament to print : i've already have had about 5-8 clogged printcore, with dedicated one (and shared material ones), regular hot / cold pull. It's not a bad batch, it's using the original delivered printcore as well as new one(s) a year after. It's while using Cura (multiple versions, stable ones as well as some rare betas ones) with UM profile, I don't change a thing regarding temperature, flow, speed, etc. Obviously, I play with other parameters that might have an impact, but I've never been able to clog ANY printer head on ANY other machine I've worked on, for the past 6 years. Like, not a single one. Edit : must precise here that these PLA fail occurred during multi-material print, using the 2 heads. I guess 100% of those fail were PLA/PVA, PVA would struggle as usual but PLA did sometimes, as well. So there is something wrong. My local reseller made a anual check, and was quite amazed of the state of the machine, almost brand new since we maintain it correctly, even if it already print for about 1000+h. So nope, can't agree and I will keeping saying this to balance "all the people that are glad using it" : it gives a wrong idea of ultimaker machine and ecosystem or at least not a complete overview : it's also quite common that people here complain about very bad design flaws about the machine itself, unreliability, etc. I've bought UM because of its very good press, brand being deployed on big names company, etc, and it's by far the machine that totalize the most amount of failed prints and headaches. Fair enough, I ask it a bit more thanks to its 2 printcores configuration that has an logic and legit impact but it should never be marketed as a realiable machine. Oh, and the local reseller here actually say that, indeed, there is quite a lot of customer service to help company with their failing / bugged down / not working properly UMS5.

Same question as above : I've numerous thing to complain about, when it comes to UM printers, but the glass plate never NEVER failed to me, everything stick to it so well, even complex material that would require additional glue, just printed perfectly naked and without a single warp in more than 1000h of printing.

I quite like the approach gr5 shown with the elephant video : by slicing the whole statue in parts, you would be able to print it in large 3d printer (depending on how much slice you're willing to do, it might even fit in a UMS5 even if I would not recommend that printer at all for that). Then you would be able to mount theses slices onto a rigid metal (or anything sturdy enough for your showcase conditions) with anchor parts designed from scratch and allowing for some adjustments. This way you would have a light and cheap metal internal skeleton and easy-to-print and cheap PLA parts to assemble with as much details as you want. A final touch would be to coat everything alltogether to fill in the small gaps between parts, sand it to make it really nice if you need to and then add a protective finish to whistand the wether, UV, any conditions that the statue might meet. I'm not sure to see the advantage of concrete and multi-layer things.

I've had multiple issues recently using PLA/TPU and PETG/TPU : TPU in the second AA printcore will trigger the flow sensor. Not sure if it's relevant, I've not seen particular under-extrusion before error. Oh, btw, it's using the new CURA 5.3 interlocking function, maybe it's important to mention.

Yup, I practice Hot et Cold Pull quite often since, as you said, PVA is quite a pain. I'll switch to BVOH, it has better feedback, did you try it yourself ? I've posted some questions and asked for advices here, if you have a pair of minutes : Regarding the photos, i'm really having difficulties to find them back right now, changed my phone, my PC, haha. They're normally somewhere in my mails IIRC, I had to take photos for my local customer services and I don't have the printcore itself anymore as they accepted to change it for free since they also consider it to be defective. But they also mention that it could be because of a material overpressure that might lead to this consequence : I don't see how but they're the experts ^^
