I created this tutorial to show how to use Cura 2.6 to have different infill types or densities in the same model.
With a bowden 3d printer like the Ultimaker 2, printing flexible filaments can be difficult, but it can be done if you follow some tips and tricks that will be detailed in this tutorial. Maintaining an optimal extrusion rate, and making sure that the filament will follow it’s path are the main difficulties you will […]
Under-extrusion: What is it? When the printer isn’t able to extrude the requested amount of plastic, it means it is under-extruding. When it happens, the print will have some holes, missing layers or thin layers. The infill can also have these holes or lack of material, the layers aren’t well bonded together. After a while, the […]
This is an issue that every maker will run into, no matter what, at least once during his 3D printing life. It can happen for multiple reasons, PLA can burn if it stays too long in a heated nozzle. If you switch from ABS to PLA for example, it can also happen that some ABS […]
The original feeder of the Ultimaker 2 is very good, but you can make it even better. There’s a version that you can print that will ease the change of filament and which is very usefull for the maintenance of your machine. Personnaly i also think it works better because of the more accurate pressure […]
