Delta printer feeding problems with newest Cura

Hello!

I not sure if i writing to the correct thread, and if i make a mistake, please forgive me ?

I am new at the 3d printing, i have a budget Delta T1 printer (EZT3D, chinese copy), and i just started to learn the basics. My printer's manufacturer is suggested me to use the old Cura 14, and it is working, i have a few small print. But the old Cura is very buggy on my laptop, i tried the newest one, and works great, but my printer not working with the new version of Cura gcode. I have feeding problems, the feeding motor can't press the material in, but moving a little bit (1-2 degrees) forward, and then moving in same angle backwards. I think this is a known issue, and i tried to figure out if anybody solved the problem somehow, but no luck, i found nothing.

I know this is not the best printer, but i have this budget, i wanted to start somehow, and i found this solution. And as i said i can use the old Cura, it is buggy but usable. BTW if anybody can show me a solution i appreciate it ?

Thanks!

I've the same troubles.

Last version seems not support.
At first attempt with Cura 4.5 I configured my EZT 3D (Mod.1) as "Deltabot", customizing data following instructions I get with printer.

With 5.1.1 it seems to be not possible: I cannot find Deltabot printer type to configure.

Please help us

    Hey all,

     

    Ultimaker Cura is open source, which means that all non-Ultimaker 3D printers are contributed by volunteers in the Cura Community. That means that you or anyone else is more than welcome to work create a pull request to add the printer to Cura. 

     

    Here is an overview of the printers that are currently available in Cura.

    https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/tree/main/resources/definitions

    If your printer is not in the list, here are the instructions to add a new printer:

    If you are stuck, you can give a shout out and I'm happy to help out.

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
