Heat bed support for netfabb - how?

Posted · Heat bed support for netfabb - how?

I can't get netfabb to support the heatbed that I've added. I've even tried to add the M140/M190 commands to the header/footer of the gcode, but netfabb keeps adding M104 S0 commands to turn off the heatbed all over the gcode.

Is there some way to force netfabb to work with my heatbed?

thanks,

reza

    Did you add the heat bed temperature to your Material settings? You need to put the temp for the heatbed into the profiles along with the nozzle temperature. I find Netfabb doesn't pre-heat the bed though, it puts the M140 command at the start of layer one instead of at the beginning of the code so I usually move it myself to the top before printing.

    Cheers,

    Troy.

    I've improved my Ultimaker with a heated bed too. After modifying the firmware, the Ulticontroller supports the heated bed. But I dont find a way to activate the heated bed in netfabb. I've set the teperatures for the bed in all material definitions. But there is displayed still only the selection "No heated bed"

    Thanks for help

    I can print with the heated bed using the M140 / M190 codes putted to the GCode Header. But I belive that there should be a better solution because netfabb seems to support a heated bed in the "machine" tab form. There is a selection for "Heater bed" But the only selection is "No heated bed" I think that it should be possible to configure the heated bed in the Ultimakerconfig.xml file.

    Again, did you try this part of codemaven's instructions?

    I have never used netfabb. It just seems like codemaven gave you an answer but you didn't respond to his question.

    I think maybe you *did* respond but it's not clear to me. Maybe codemaven understands.

    Yes. I've defined the temperatures in the material settings. This will work. At start of printing, the bed temperature will change to the value defined in the material settings.

    But my goal is to configure netfabb for the heat bed option: There is a print screen of the prepared selection for the heated bed:

    Hi ePower,

    I've not changed that option in NetFabb. I leave it as "No Heated Bed". I believe that only affects the manual control options. Which, I suppose could be an issue if you don't have an ultracontroller... but I do not connect my UM to my computer anymore, I do all of my printing through the ultracontroller.

    Regards,

    Troy.

    Hi Troy and gr5

    Thanks a lot for your responses. I own a UltiController an I've added there a menu item to "cooldown nozzle" and "cooldown bed" as separate selections :-) But I'm still looking for a solution to activate the heated bed in netfabb. I'm sure this must be just a setting in the configuration file. I've seen the heated bed option working with the fabbster engine. I've called now the support of netfabb for a solution.

    Regards - Norbert

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
