I am new to the whole 3D printer game and I have a Ulitmaker S3 to play with.... Company not mine...

 

However I wanted to print out a tolerance key from another site and they are all stuck together except the 0.5 size....

 

How and where do I change the Clearance between each key.

    So I Import the stl file from another site and then open in Ulitimaker Cura.... there are a whole load of options in the right hand settings.☺..... however I have been looking for ideas on what to change or focus on that will allow the objects to move....

    The tweeks and options in the "custom" section are overwhelming. Sometimes it's easier to start with the "Recommended" section and -if the "intent profiles" are available, as for the S-series, choose the spot that matches the desired result.

    Thank you so far for the support, but that is exactly what I did accept the default settings.

     

    I have attached the file I am using. Paid for and downloaded of a youtube site..... using a Ultimaker S3....

     

    It is a brillant machine but when I slice and print everything is fused together except .5mm

     

    The rest is solid...

      • 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.
