14.09 is beautiful gang! Great job. Cura for the win.

I’m testing this out now with a TAZ 4, but after 10 minutes, it still won’t start a print. I’m printing in ABS, and so it’s setting the heat bed to 100 degrees, but the bed will only get up to 99 degrees and then hang.
Is there a solution for this?
In Cura, set the temperatures to zero to disable this function. Cura will leave the temperature commands out of the gcode so you don’t have that problem.
jebcom, that’s one way to do it, but would still require me to preheat, then try to remember to go back to the printer to actually start the print. Doable, but not ideal (ie: I’m lazy and forgetful )
I ended up retuning the PID for the heatbed following Iamk’s instructions in this post: https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/heated-bed-always-registers-1c-below-set-temp/723/1
It worked beautifully, and now the heatbed gets up to temperature right away!
I’m under the impression that the quick print settings should be the same as the profiles on the website but they seem to be totally different. Most notably when I’m quick printing ABS it keeps turning the fan on O.o. I’m using version 14.09-1.18.7
The quick print profiles are the same as what’s in Github and on LulzBot.com at the time of that versions application compilation. The quick print profiles are more of a known good version. The slicing configurations available on LulzBot.com are able to be updated and further refined. The profiles in Github are more recent, and can be even better, or a work in progress.
Question I am fairly new to Cura Software and its settings regarding the fan. I have been printing HIPS on my new mini and it is doing just fine setting the temp at 220 and 108 for the bed. When is the fan used? Is this for PLA and other materials?
Thank you
We find that the fan works best with PLA and during overhangs. The profiles built into Cura have the fan settings balanced for each filament type, so in general you don’t need to worry about when to turn it on/off and at what speed.
Thanks for the info Orias pleasure meeting you here on the forum. I have another few questions here on Curta if you could assist me with. I am fairly new to Cura and had a few questions. I have been using quick print and wanted to start using expert settings because I like to change the settings in the support structure, spacing etc of the supports… I am somewhat familiar with most of the settings but do not understand why when I went to use the expert settings it does not start with cleaning the nozzle, bed leveling etc. It just starts to lay down the filament and it is not sticking to the bed, seems like the nozzle is not close enough to the bed for the filament to adhere correctly. Any suggestions on how to have the expert settings start like the quick settings. thanks all looking for some good advise.

Check your earlier post.

Hi,
Anyone knows if Cura has ‘extra length on restart’ option?
I am talking about retraction
cheers
No, and that’s a good one. If you need extra length on restart, that’s a sign of something going wrong and no solution…
Hey that’s actually the opposite of what I need. I was hoping that there are built in settings for extra length on restart, because I would have liked to turn them off 
I seem to be having some kind of build up of material when the tool head travels between parts of print.
And it seems that retraction is doing it’s work fine (have tried several speed/length/travel variations). There is no problem while traveling, but when it reaches the designated area, it spews some excess material.
What’s your current retract setting? It could be that you are retracting a little bit too fast, resulting in lost steps and therefore a blob during prime. Or you are priming to fast, then it squirts out the molten filament inside the nozzle (like a spray flacon).
It’s
3mm length
35mm/sec speed
travel speed 190mm/sec
You might try setting the extruder acceleration down from 3000 to 2400mm/s². I had missing steps with the stock number. For further diagnistic, pictures would be helpful.
Maybe a bit off topic, but his name is David Braam, without the ‘h’. I noticed the same typo in the splash screen of Cura 2. His name is mentioned twice there. First time written correctly (Braam), second time as Brahm. So credit where credit is due
