Cura 4.11, Ultimaker S3, Ulitimaker TPU95

 

Whenever I use TPU95 I get an extra circle added to the project,

Which when printed comes out like so,

The TPU ring on the artifact is prinited on top of the PLA disc. Anyone know what's going on here?

    I'm not sure, because I don't have a dual extruder printer and have never looked at the related settings, but to me that looks like a prime tower. Not sure why it would make one if your print is entirely TPU (no supports etc. in PLA) but you could check any settings related to "prime tower" and hopefully that's what it is and you can turn it off!

    @43915 is totally right.

    The prime tower is automatically generated when extruder 2 is involved, no matter if extruder 1 is used or not.

    If you want to get rid of the prime tower, just disable it in the "dual extrusion"-settings.

      • 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.
