Posted · Hello from Arizona!

Hey everyone! I made an account on here a few weeks ago and haven't been active at all. So here's a quick intro to me.

I'm from Arizona, and am currently looking into 3D Printing. I am hoping to get a printer this Christmas, if not sooner, and start creating all kinds of different items. I am just starting to use ZBrush to create 3D models and am loving it. Hopefully I won't make too many things to overload the printer when I get it. :)

So that is just a little bit about me. I will be more active here in the forum and on the chatroom. I hope to get to know you all well, and be able to learn many new things. If you have any questions just shoot me a PM and I will get back to you as soon as I can. :) Keep at it! So stoked to get into this!

    Hi Memory.

    Welcome to the group. I have just purchased my first UM2 and am enjoying learning how to get some good prints out of it. I did a lot of looking around before getting it and recon I have made the right choice. This technology is far from at the plug and play stage. I think this makes it more challenging and fun though. The people on this site really know there stuff and are just great at answering the most basic questions really quickly. It has been an invaluable resource and made the whole learning process so much better.

    Don't wait 'till Christmas, get an early gift now!

    Trust me. If I had the money right now to purchase one, I would. all the research and reading that I am doing about Ultimaker and 3D printing in general just makes me want to start ASAP! :)

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released

        UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released

        ArunC posted a topic in Ultimaker Cura,

        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7

        Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7

        MariMakes posted a topic in Official news,

        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄

        Cura Alpha With New Tree Support 🎄

        MariMakes posted a topic in Ultimaker Cura,

        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
