Problem with "one at a time" mode


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited) · Problem with "one at a time" mode

So, I've been printing large batches of models for a friend, and I've been printing them in one at a time mode.  And, well, this has been happening:

As you can see, first model comes out fine, but after that, it's like its retracting when it finishes one and not advancing before it starts the next.  Now, these guys are printed with a brim, so it hasn't caused a problem, but I do have some pieces coming up soon that won't have the brim.  Any ideas?  

Using an Ultimaker 2+ and Cura 15.04.4

    I think there is a bug in one-at-a-time mode where it retracts then resets everything and forgets that it retracts and then retracts again and then unretracts. Maybe see if the bug is in cura 2.1.2?

    The simplest solution is probably to use skirt. If you don't use brim then it will instead use skirt be default. Make sure the skirt is a minimum length (maybe 200mm?) to get the extruder flowing again.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
