Printing ABS and Breakaway... 245C and 220C...40mm/sec
The Breakaway head is in standby at 100C. Prior to switching it heats up, switches and prints. Too soon. I watched later, after I removed and replaced the clogged printhead, it starts printing the Breakaway at 196C and the ABS at 203 (on this particular print and model orientation). Moving a model as far to the left as I can on the glass gives the head temp time to heat up during the switching travel, but I am still trying to figure out my machine and was clueless at this point. My extruders are not working right so I thought it wasn't feeding and I gave it the panic technique of manually pushing the filament into the head....oops. The Breakaway was still cold in the nozzle and I pushed the soft material into a coil between the top of the print head and the lift switch....yeah, the machine didn't do that...Fbrc8 is doing a free refurb on the head for me... out of pity, most likely.
Anyway...the extruder ground the filament to shreds...no where to go because the nozzle was too cold...and Fbrc8 helped me extract the print head. Got it all up and running and found that timing issue with the nozzle temps. I don't want to start printing before the nozzle heats up completely. I saw the Cura settings for the temp differential, but didn't understand it completely so here I am hoping to understand this problem a bit better.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.

Hello all!
