The print was 18.6 Hr by estimation and I could swear it shaved an hour off...or the daylight savings change messed me up. Gonna be cold and tired for a few days until the blizzard is done and I adjust to the time change...grooooaaaaannnnnn.......
I have not tried without the prime tower. The stringies are from where it was building the overhangs. And amazingly, few if any. Most of the 'rougher surface' was on the most bottom part of the fractal. A snip and sanding a bit did the job for me.
The thing I am most amazed at is that it has gazillions of overhangs and still came out this clean. The 'petals' of the fractal are smooth as can be. I'll probably try without the prime tower and use the ooze shield.
I will be remaking/revising it to make an LED Lamp some time in the future. When I am not experimenting with materials and such. Had it for two months and all I've done is print a bunch of cubes, some old files and interlocking ball and socket test pieces.
Been also painting and testing finishes. For instance, I have decided I am not a fan of ABS for a variety of reasons. For my goals, just too brittle. But I do love the PLA and nylons. NinjaTek's products (Semi-flex, flex, cheetah) are giving me no issues other than finding the sweet spot in temps.
Gonna be trying armadillo soon to see how it compares to ABS in strength and hopefully not as brittle.
This machine is the perfect learning tool. Compensates enough for this clumsy noob and STILL allows for playing around.

Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
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.
