    Great Bag of Ultimaker 2 Hotend Stuff

    in Buying or selling your UltiMaker

    Posted

    Hi guys.

    Im clearing out my workshop a little and have 3 bags full of great hotend stuff for ultimaker 2. All the parts are either never been used OR a tiny bit used... so no big wear..

    Have a look at the photo.

     

    Id be happy if I could get 40 euros plus 5 euros post with paypal for the lot

     

    Im selling this as a lot.. so no individual parts...

     

    Please shoot me a quick email if you want this.

    ian.spring@gmail.com

     

    Thanks and have a nice day.

    Ian :)

    Ultimaker 3 not responding to button press

    in Firmware

    Posted

    Thank you.

    At the monent my screen is totally blank.. a complete BRICKED ultimaker :)

    When I setup my SD card this evening with all the files.

    Will I just (insert SD card) then turn on the printer and it will automatically boot from the SD card and so allow me to reboot from the sd card.

    I hope so....

    Hi guys.

    I just took off the covers of the electronincs.

    The lights are glowing but nothing is coming up on the screen.

    I can also not connect using Cura. It does not see the printer.

    Is there a way to transfer a firmware flash using a us cable between my latopt and printer ?

    I really need my printer back running today for work....

    Thanks.

    Good morning guys.

    My ultimaker 3 extended is connected with the wifi in my office.

    This morning came the message I could update the firmware to the latest version.

    Took 10 minutes to download and then the printer restarted. With the ultimaker logo on the screen, the screen froze and I could not get any response...

    So I turned off the printer and turned it back on.

    Now the screen does not turn on.. no lights come one.

    It looks like my beautiful ultimaker 3 is dead....

    How can I do a hard reset of the system ?

    Maybe the firmware update with wifi was not 100% perfect and screwed up the printers mind.. ?

    can some one please help.

    Thank you.

    What is this material ?

    in Materials & profiles

    Posted

    Hi guys.

    I was looking at a foot socket that was printed with a FDM printer recently.

    The guys told me that the material was not ABS and PLA but was very sturdy and also a normal FDM printer material that is only available in black.

    Here is a photo.

    What do you guys think this could be ? Id like to know as Id like to try and print something similiar with my ultimaker 3.

    The material needs to be good with shock and also a little bit of flex.

    Any ideas what this stuff is ?

    Thanks guys.

    Ian :)

    Oh boy, a flooded apartment. Hopefully it didn't ruin any furniture that you were planning on moving in a month from now? Can you sort everything out with insurance?

    Within a different context, an indoor pool with that heat sounds like a plus ;)

    @Ian, sounds good! Has it been a difficult change from architecture or not that much?

    And possibly yes! Can you be a little bit more specific about what it is you do exactly? A colleague could reach out to you.

    Hi Sander.

    Im setting up a team of really talented people to create the best medical products suited for 3d printing technology.

    To start with we have created really really cool foot, hand and head orthesen using 3d scan and model systems. Delivering the end product in an array of different materials and using an array of 3d print processes.

    We already have our products in the field and are expanding and making our designs and systems even better for the end user :) (patient)

    Its a fantastic growing market to be involved in :)

    And its also great to see a real use of 3d print technology to help people in their every day lives.

    If your guys want to talk with me more about this: this is my email: i.spring@streifeneder.de

    Thanks and have a lovely day.

    Hi @Ian, thanks for sharing your presentation! I think I also saw some tweets about it. How have you been doing? Was it a good event?

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend! Any good stories?

    Holiday photos are welcome, but please be considerate about us poor souls who are still left in our office spaces.. don't make us cry ;)

     

    Hi Sander.

    Im good thank you.

    Working away making 3d printed medical products :)

    Its great making products that directly help people.

    We also are big fans of using our ultimaker 3 in our workshop for testing new designs and parts. Maybe it could be a cool case study for you guys at ultimaker ?

    Hope your also well.

    Best wishes.

    Ian :)

    how to convert a .STL to and STEP file ?

    in Improve your 3D prints

    Posted

    Thanks guys ! :)

    I tried FreeCad and it did work converting my STL to STEP.

    But Little Problem... all exported STEP files are between 2 and 3 times the size of the original STL.

    So STL files that were 30MB are coming out at almost 100MB STEPs.

    Im a Little surprised how tricky it is to move between STL and STEP..

    Ill Keep trying the few new ideas.

    Thanks guys.

    Have a great Weekend.

    Ian :)

    Morning guys.

    Little question ?

    The last 3 days I was getting professional training in special design software for medical products. At the end of the third day, I told the teacher guy that I was a big fan of ultimaker and I had years of great fun and experiences with them.

    He told me something weird... he said enjoy ultimaker now because... now ultimaker has been sold to 3dsystems they will gradually close up all the open source community driven things... eeekkk :(

    Is it true that ultimaker was sold to 3dsystems ?

    Recommendations for a good portable 3D scanner ?

    in UltiMaker 3D printers

    Posted

    Morning all !

    I hope this is the right section of the Forum.

    I wanted to ask you guys for your advice.

    Im using a portable Artec 3d scanner at the moment to scan body parts.

    Problem is...... when I scan, if I move too fast the scanner gets confused and looses Focus... if I move too slow, the software collects too much data and kills my Computer.

    I was wondering is there any new cool little 3d portable scanner that simply takes a clean accurate scan of a persons... leg for example without taking 20 minutes to make the scan and another 40 minutes for the computer to choke on the data...

    so accuaret.... smart... fast....

    Any ideas guys ?

    Thank You.

    Stainless steel nozzles?

    in Third party products & modifications

    Posted

    what would the best material be for a ultimaker 3 nozzle to Hand lots of carbon printing ?

    Also would the carbon Filament wear down things like the bowden tube and the PEEK for example ?

    I could see a lot of great function pieces being done with high Quality using an ultimaker 3 and carbon... I guess a few People have to burn their fingers first before we really know how to do it...

    Maybe an idea for ultimaker 4..... Ultimaker Hardcore.... built to print things like carbon and PEEK material... ?

    Thanks.

    Ian :)
