Is there a button on the forum that alerts me to replies and  PM’s?

Hi,

that's what the notifications bell (upper right, besides your avatar and the PM-envelope) is meant for. In the notification settings (press the bell) you also can set which type of event is shown by the bell and/or by E-Mail.

Regards

    There are some pre-designed straps on Reddit that would either meet or be close enough to modify to get you 90% there. Alternatively, if you are up for designing, you can use FreeCAD and draw what you want in 2D and then use "Extrude" or convert (depending on term used by viewer) and you will have something to experiment with settings until right result. This might sound complex - but its not; I am new to 3D printing too. I had my laptop and Ender 3 Pro filled with sticky notes for 2 weeks while trying to outline steps to print/troubleshoot based on materials. Also had same issue with SIM card - depending on the Firmware installed can be confusing when changes are saved or overwritten based on if card is in or out. at startup and what point you clicked Store Settings.

     

    @john3M please let me know if you can point to any good forums for sharing settings base on materials, speed, and complexity or have some cheat sheets you wouldn't mind sharing.

      • 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.
