I'll admit that I'm very new to all this (ten days) but I just downloaded a 'Nautilus Gears' file from Thingiverseand I'm getting a print time of 25 Days 11 Hours 58 minutes, with 1721.85m and 5136g...

 

It comes in as two separate files, gear and support bar, and I multiplied by 1 copy to get the two of each required.

 

I did try printing it but it started putting weird 'connecting lines' (to features that don't apparently exist) over the first layers.

 

What am I doing wrong???

    Which Cura version are you using?

    On what computer OS?

    Can you post a link to the thingiverse design?

     

    What settings did you change? It looks like you enabled the 'draft shield'?

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
