Hi @marcosbombi,

 

I cannot see how an Ultimaker 2+ print faster using Octoprint, -are you using it with a camera from a different place and saving time this way?

 

Have you printed successfully with this printer before?

The print bed is important cause it could be a flexible mat or glass surface..

 

You did not mention what version of Cura you're using, -well?

 

I'll make some Guessing then, are you printing with light weight PLA?

Based on this assumption, what temperature do you use for the first layers?

 

We need some more information about your printer, as nozzle size used, type of filament -there is a lot of them with different properties etc. 

 

You tell us, if not, we cannot help much.

Yes, I save time by doing that, I use Ultimaker Cura 5.3.0, and I have printed successfully with this printer, the print bed is a buildtak flexplate, I use lightweight PLA, and i use 200 degrees.

Hi @marcosbombi,

 

We can see that the filament does not stick to the bed.

This bed seems not to be the original that's used for this printer, the original has a clear glass with a light gray aluminium heat mat under.

Another issue is the Octoprint, in my opinion this make 3D printing much harder for a beginner as there is too much can go wrong.  (And yes, I have a Raspberry pi 4 with Octoprint.)  So, it's better to use the printers SD card, if possible?

Why not use the firmware directly from the UM2?

The bed adjustment is a very good way to know an important part of your printer.

What version of Cura are you using?  (I saw that you're going to print a glider wing.)

Then; are you using Windows or Linux?

 

Thanks

Torgeir

 

 

 

I use mac and Windows for ultimaker cura, how can I fix the filament not sticking, I use octoprint because sometimes I have to make a print for friends that can't wait long due to vacation so I use it to print fast, also the printer was gifted to me

We really can’t help you if you can’t be more specific than “messing up”. We have no idea what is going on.

the printer won't make the base it brings the piece of filament with it

[Octoprint]

Hey i re calibratd my printbed, but the octoprint is messing up alot now, any help

[Octoprint]

Im trying to print a glider but now its messing up again, i changed the sd on the raspberry pi as it was my gopros sd card

[Octoprint]

oh k

[Octoprint]

also when i try to print directly from the octoprint dashboard it will not extrude the material even when its doing the printing job.

[Octoprint]

okay so i feel like keeping it now, but how do i prevent it from bringing the priming blob to the center, also when i try to print directly from the octoprint dashboard it will not extrude the material even when its doing the printing job.

And in machine settings there should be a tab for "start gcode" and "end gcode".  You want the first one.  If you have printed fewer than 100 prints you might want to leave things at default.  You can read about the gcodes if you google "reprap gcodes" that takes you to a good reference.

 

Regarding ultimaker2 versus marlin flavors - I prefer the ultimaker2 flavor when printing through SD card.  You get a few nice features.

 

But if you have octoprint working that is even better.

Im saying how do i make it so it stops making the blob

 

[Octoprint]

ok

Yes. Unless you set it back to "Ultimaker 2" in Machine Settings before exporting gcode. But then you have to set it back to "Marlin" to print succesfully with OctoPrint again. My advice: choose whether you want to print via SD or via OctoPrint.

 

You could edit the start gcode to not do that prime.

The gcode, how do i do that?

[Octoprint]

One more thing, when it makes the blob or thing in the corner before it starts printing, it will bring it to the print place any help?

[Octoprint]

Btw when i print normally using the sd, will it also use marlin

If you don't see the "Set G-code flavor to 'Marlin'" option, then the gcode flavor is already set correctly.

ok, im just doing my first octoprint using the gcode, its working but it has messed up in some places

[Octoprint]

I'm taking a look at the plugin and it's not letting me make it auto-select the gcode

To produce gcode compatible with OctoPrint, the gcode flavor for your Ultimaker 2+ should be set to "Marlin".

 

Cura 5.3 currently has a bug that stops the Machine Settings dialog from registering the change of gcode flavors.

 

Are you using the OctoPrint Connection plugin from the Marketplace? It has an option to set the correct gcode flavor for you.

 

 

yes, i have the octoprint plugin

[Octoprint]

Also what gcode should i use for the octoprint

Next time please include a photo but it sounds like you weren't squishing the bottom layer enough.  This is done usually through hardware changes (turning a screw to move the bed closer to the nozzle).  Unless you have auto leveling.

I did re level it, also i have an issue due to when i print using octoprint it will move the extruder to a place it can not go and when i get it working it will mess up, like cutting corners and bringing the filament it should print in the corner with it, i have not tested the octoprint after the reset

[Octoprint]

Also, can the printer use the stander ultimaker gcode?

[Octoprint]

Yea in new to 3D printing as i just got my first one, i did another print last night and the were no errors, im just having issues with octoprint.

[Octoprint]

Hello, when I was setting up octoprint on my ultimaker2+ and when I switched the gcode to reprap it started messing up and cutting corners, I reset it and calibrated again, now when I was making a cube the base got stuck on the extruder, can someone help me?
