Hi

I have three questions that need help with.

1 I downloaded the latest version of cura and along with it the latest Firware upgrade for um2. Do I need to re do the bed levelling procedure before I print. I have kept the old v of cura in another location.

2 the tweak at z there is 2 input fields where you can change the temp / speed one is with height which would be awkward for me or there is layer number? Now is this the slider on the right where you view layers is this the layer number.

3 and last I have read some post about the efficiency of the fans and in some cases people have printed there own cowlings

Do these represent a significant advantage especially when printing with overhangs

Thanks

Bob

    1. You shouldn't need to re-level.

    2. Yes, the slider shows the layer numbers

    3. Don't know as I haven't experimented with those on the UM2. I know it made quite a difference for me on the original though.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        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.
