Anyone try using breakaway as the main material and not for supports? I have 2 spools of it that I rarely if ever use so I wanted to try. Obviously wont be good for anything structural but it seems to work okay for anything that you just need the geometry with very small forces.

    @Jman15x: that is indeed not the intended use for Breakaway.

    Breakaway is mixture of PLA and TPU (it's in the SDS for Breakaway), which gives it an ideal combination of sufficient stiffness to supports parts (unlike TPU) and allowing you to properly tear it off (unlike PLA - which would be too brittle).
    So I guess it should give you some interesting properties somewhere between PLA and TPU.

      • 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.
