Hi,

 

Using the latest cura (3.5.1), I've noticed an odd problem.

 

I'm printing using Tough PLA with Breakaway.  I'm printing with a raft.

 

What I'm seeing is that the Breakaway filament is primed (good), first layer of raft laid down (good), and then the PLA is primed (still has a couple of layers to go before it would need it) then drags a thread of PLA across the build plate (Tough PLA seems more stringy) so it can go swap back to the Breakaway and complete the raft.  I'm left with a thread of PLA embedded in my raft.   

 

I've even turned on a prime tower and when it primes the Tough PLA it doesn't go near the prime tower to wipe or anything.  So it is priming just for the sake of priming.

 

In this particular case it doesn't really cause a major problem because the raft is, of course, throwaway.  But it is odd behaviour and is not consistent with previous behaviour where it would prime the filament only when it first starts to print with it.

 

Cheers!

      • 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.
