Hello,

Since a few days there is a strong smell coming from my printer when I get back home from a while away. Smell pretty similar to pot actually. I have been using my printer a lot lately but its the first time it smell that strong. I print only PLA coming from Ultimaker at the moment...

Anyone else got a similar situation? Any tricks?

Lol

    Are you sure it's not because you're coming home to a room that has been saturated in the smell and it seems stronger because it's fresh to your nose? I find that I notice the smell much more if I'm not home while printing.

    Crack a window :)

    I must admit I had to laugh when I realized the smell of weed was coming from the printer. As a by product smell it could be a lot worse.

    I'm yet to discover what the colorfabb pla/pha and Xt filaments smell like. I will have to play with those later on.

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released

        Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released

        ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,

        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
