    There are some pre-designed straps on Reddit that would either meet or be close enough to modify to get you 90% there. Alternatively, if you are up for designing, you can use FreeCAD and draw what you want in 2D and then use "Extrude" or convert (depending on term used by viewer) and you will have something to experiment with settings until right result. This might sound complex - but its not; I am new to 3D printing too. I had my laptop and Ender 3 Pro filled with sticky notes for 2 weeks while trying to outline steps to print/troubleshoot based on materials. Also had same issue with SIM card - depending on the Firmware installed can be confusing when changes are saved or overwritten based on if card is in or out. at startup and what point you clicked Store Settings.

     

    @john3M please let me know if you can point to any good forums for sharing settings base on materials, speed, and complexity or have some cheat sheets you wouldn't mind sharing.

    Sorry about the delayed response. I have to admit i’m am too new to printing to make any suggestions but that aside if i do find anything as per your questions i will let you know. Thanks for the above suggestion regarding the glasses I'm looking into it.

    Hello all,

     

    First post so happy to be here!
     

    I was just wondering if someone could tell me whether it is possible to track usage time (hours/days etc.) of an Ultimaker easily- within settings or another menu perhaps?

     

    I have a small fleet of different Ultimakers and I’m often asked for usage stats- in the same way we track prints on a plotter. I’m currently having to manually track each job which is very difficult. It would be so much easier if I could go into any given Ultimaker, enter a menu and see usage time.
     

    In the Marketplace upper right there is an addon called Material cost tool I'm not sure if it will help

    Question…i measured the heat from the board after heating it up. I used a digital gun to measure the heat at different areas. I used two guns. The heat on the screen said it was 60c but the gun’s even within a 1/2 inch above the board  only got up to 53-54 c is this normal. Should i trust the screen or the guns? Meaning if the readouts come up to 53 c should i bump up the heat? I couldn't get a reading from the nozzle it was a bit small and hard to steady up on.

    right now im waiting for a UPS pickup i could be home all day. Amazon is shipping a new machine

    Ok time out this machine continues to try and print something even after a reset without a chip in or filament…weird

    i like the machine but it gotta work im getting a replacement Amazon agrees and is replacing at no cost.  I spent half a day trying various things watched several great YouTube videos followed all great tips 🤪nothing works when i tried the auto level it couldn’t complete it…and i call myself an engineer…

    new problem...I go to print it makes a test line on the side ok but nothing sticks now on the center.

    I have leveled it manually and automatically. I cleaned the board with alchoal but still not sticking. I had great success at first. I reset the memory several times and re leveled but still it is not sticking it makes a swuarrely mess in the middle.

    OK the slicer produces a gcode BUT 

    it won't see it without an additional file? the sd card has these files I sliced the DragonKnight as you can see however it appears like the cat that was supplied by the vendor has one added file? When I insert the SD card it does not recognize my Knight. When I click the blue icon, it brings up their slicer. It's a simple fix but I don't see it. I tried your slicer it's a bit over my head at this time, but I'll keep learning. Below is a screen shot of the contents of the SD card supplied by Ender. I printed the cat and rabbit and their logo with no problemimage.thumb.png.a586c4836a72992fc0e7de06b366d171.png

    I am a geek for certain. At 74 years I'm still actively engaged in tech and other activities. I recently acquired a Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro 3D. I'm enjoying it. My first question over the next few days is when using Cura and then slicing the object I save to the SD card but can't get the printer to see the file when insert it in the card and hit print.
