Posted in UM2 - Problem with Z-Axis

Hi,

I have received my UM2 couple of weeks ago and I have started doing some experiments to better understand this "3d printing" stuff.

Today I have printed a calibration object (https://www.youmagine.com/designs/5mm-calibration-steps) using default Cura (14.06.1) parameters. All the resulting cubes have perfect X- and Y- dimensions, but they are all 5.5mm tall.

What should I adjust to get rid of this distortion ?

Thanks and sorry for the lame question.

      Ultimaker Cura | a new interface

      SandervG posted a topic in Cura + plugins,

      We're not only trying to always make Ultimaker Cura better with the usual new features and improvements we build, but we're also trying to make it more pleasant to operate. The interface was the focus for the upcoming release, from which we would already like to present you the first glance.

      "Back To The Future" using Generative Design & Investment Casting

      SteveCox3D posted a topic in Engineering,

      Designing for light-weight parts is becoming more important, and I’m a firm believer in the need to produce lighter weight, less over-engineered parts for the future. This is for sustainability reasons because we need to be using less raw materials and, in things like transportation, it impacts the energy usage of the product during it’s service life.
