Thank you for answer!

Cura processes it in seconds, I've already printed this model with another printer from Cura file, but I'm not sure if I can start it from Pulse XE.

I've saved .stl as from part, despite that it is already a solid form, also as simplified form from assembly, which makes it solid if there is some intersections or anything else, but it is same behavior in both case, impossible to get file for print, to SD card, to PC drive or from application with USB

Hello

I've tried to slice model to PC hard drive directory, then copy it manually to SD card, seems like it is not only SD card problem, it freezes whole OS 95% of CPU and does not completes process, I am forced to end task, also with difficulties because everything hangs

Then I've connected printer to PC, to print directly from MatterControl which is .exe MatterControlSetup-2.19.2.10169 I guess, but result is same, everything hangs and process of slicing stops on number shown in image below after half hour of slow progress with OS freezing, finally without result, it seems impossible, not to mention that if after slice should start exporting, which does not shows even 1% of progress with SD card, and not reached completion of slicing with saving to hard drive or start print from matterControl, and all the same with Layer Thickness 0.2 except first time it passes slicing process relatively quickly, and then begins it again with same behavior as described above instead starting export

Now, I'm trying to figure out, how to set the model from Cura to print Nylon X with Pulse XE correctly, because I'm not able to do anything with MatterControl:

Hello,

I'm trying to Export imported 3D Object .stl 130x105x88mm model, size 3,04 MB with 0.1 Layer Thickness, Fill density 25% and supports added in MatterControl application version 2.0 to USB Drive SD card 16 GB, File system FAT32 on Windows 10 Pro OS is a Intel(R) Core (TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHz RAM: 12,0 GB 64-bit Operating System, x64 based processor.

To export less size models it requires about 3-4 minutes for Slice and Export, but with this model it seems impossible. I've waiting for half hour to end slicing and then for half hour finally just to end task, because during export OS was slowed till freezing, including web browser and zero Export progress. Task manager shows 97% of memory using and 9814,2 and 0,6 MB/s RAM for MatterControl. I've ended task without result

Any advice, guide or example would be helpful

Thank you for your answer

I've tried to find Print Recovery for further, but I can't see Options for Enable Recovery in MatterControl 2.0. Anyway, I'm not sure, how such way works, if power shut down will affect connected computer with MatterControl

By the way, exporting of data to SD card takes about 4 minutes, it seems different from Cura process, which makes this in second. Maybe in this case would be better to write to SD Card from Cura. But I'm not sure, how to set Cura properly for Pulse XE and Nylon X, except temperatures, some guide on this would be also very useful

Hello,

I use garolite and Elmer's tick with Nylon X, but I've added quite wide stand plates to parts, to adhere material with surface, which then must be cut off, because In a few cases even square centimeter field were peeled off during printing just with starting, but this is most likely my small experience with printing

What about unexpected power shut down, it must be not too difficult task, to make printer be able find out with such situation programmatically, but I'm not sure if Pulse XE includes this, this actually should be "Resume printing" function:

1. Store in real-time values to some inbuilt storage, which must be X Y Z actual layer position and actual position in given model measurement
2. With turning on, just choose or even detect unexpected power shot down, if printer was shut down without normal turning off condition (which can be found logically or at least with using of some accumulated device etc. )
3. Keep actual stopped position in place
4. Make automatic preheat to avoid sticking of nozzle with material (if it is impossible immediately after power shot down from some inbuilt accumulated source) with careful lift up of nozzle from printed surface to avoid more melting in stop point during heating of nozzle and bed, to reach given temperatures
5. Back to the end point and continue printing from model actual position

Hello,

I've received Pulse XE few days ago. I've already printed number of small models successfully with exception of some small difficulties with gluing of nylon to bad, because have quite small experience in printing process by myself

Yesterday I've started a quite big mechanical part, which was required about 12 hours, but unlike small models, which was printed from MatterControl application and USB connection, I've start this big model from SD card

Unfortunately when 80% was already printed, electricity turned off for few minutes, UPS also did not work, because the battery was discharged.

I've turned off the printer cord from the outlet. Now I'm trying to figure out, what can I do, to not lost time and material. Manual way I can imagine:

1. Мeasure the size of the printed part, then cut printed from 3D model, print and glue. I did this once, and it is not the best way, considering I am printing mechanical parts

2. Somehow find actual layer position where nozzle stopped and start print from this point, but I don't know if it is possible in my case with printing from SD card

If the Pulse XE stores the current value of the layer, position and measurement of done and remaining work to continue printing model after a power outage, or if I'm able to find all this values manually, for example with help of application or any other way, please give me a steps guide, what can I do to get best result in this situation

I'm not sure, maybe when I will turn on the printer, it will suggest printing from a current point just by default or by proper actions required from me, but before you turn it on, I would like to get advice from experience users

Any advice, guide or example would useful
