Posted · Sharing about the use of ultimaker printer

As a designer, I have always been very interested in 3D printing technology. Recently, I was fortunate enough to use Ultimaker 3 (used in conjunction with a MIRACO 3D scanner), and I have some experience with its use and problems encountered. First of all, let me say that the experience of using the Ultramaker printer is great. The printing speed is fast and the accuracy is very high. I can print complex models of my designs in just a few hours without worrying about accuracy.

However, some problems were also encountered during use.

1. Material selection. Since the Ultimaker printer can use different kinds of materials, I tried several different materials to print different objects, but found that some materials were not suitable for printing complex models and were prone to clogging.

2. Print size restrictions. Since the object I need to print is relatively large, but the printing size of the ultimaker printer is limited, I need to divide the object into several segments for printing, and then splice them together. But the final effect doesn't seem to be very good.

3. Some minor problems, the printing base is not firm, the printing level is uneven, etc. These problems do not affect the overall printing effect, but it does take some time to debug.

The overall experience and effect of using ultimaker3 is quite satisfactory. Of course, some minor problems also require certain experience and skills to deal with. If you have any good suggestions or sharing, please feel free to discuss~

        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.
