Settings - starting from scratch with the UM3

Posted · Settings - starting from scratch with the UM3

The idea stems from a recent experience I had, where I spent hours calibrating, checking settings and such, only to have all my problems solved when I swapped my old AA with a new one... So many hours lost...  :'(

 

So, swap it, redo all the calibration as the printer will ask you to (X Y and also manual bed leveling, just to be on the safe side) and get a new test print started. And let's cross fingers and hope it solves at least some of your problems. :fingerscrossed:

     Have you tried contacting official Ultimaker support yet?

    No, do you think they are able to help? You mean the Admins of this forum?

     

    The Tolerance Test from Makers Muse was really bad. I was only able to unlock the 0.5mm and 0.4mm wheel using force to crack it.

    I think my first layer is to sticky, the bottom of the print was molten togetter completely.

    For the first layer I now reduced the temp from 205 to 200, raised the speed from 20 to 30 and set the fan to 50%.

    Maybe it is only the first layer holding everything together.... I hope...

    No I mean actual tech support from Ultimaker or the reseller that you bought the printer from:

    Did you ever manage to resolve this? I have the same issue with my Tolerance Test from Makers Muse, I could not even unlock the 0.5 one.
