  1. Looks great, I love seeing all the derivatives and creative solutions of everyone. Do you mind sharing it on YouMagine too so that most of the alternatives are centralized?
  2. Are you going to be part of this group who is going to design their own Multirotor Drayson? Sounds like you already have some experience.
  3. haha yes sounds like a challenge indeed, a very cool challenge :cool: I will see how Erick thinks about it.
  4. Well, in my opinion we did make a decision, however it was not the one everyone likes..
  5. Yes, great to hear! About the distance, everybody can contribute from home by submitting ideas and doing tests or development. So I don't see how that should be a problem Do you already have some ideas of for what kind of design you bought the parts for Jonny?
  6. Like Nallath says the price is for the entire print-head, instead of the tip. The nozzle + integrated heaterblock costs €39,50 Depending on what you buy and where you live (obviously) shipping can be relatively expensive compared to the item you buy. That is because we use professional couriers only like FedEx and DHL, instead of sending parts out through a postage service and hoping for the best that it will ever arrive because it has no tracking. For the veterans around here, we did offer this option in the past (remember PostNL?) but by now we have grown significantly and we can not afford to have discussions of parts never arriving and us not being in the opportunity to proof we actually send it. (because there is no T&T). So everything is being send out by the bigger couriers, who also guarantee a part to arrive. Fast and in good condition. If, for some reason this isn't the case we will sort it out with the courier and compensate you so you will not be left in the dark. Through the years the prices have dropped and I suppose they will continue to go down gradually as we are becoming a bigger customer for these couriers as time passes by.
  7. Hi James & TM, That is no problem, I think. That means you probably think out of the box (for an engineer) and we will come up with the best (or at the very least) original ideas! Erick has a lot of experience and besides that, don't overthink it too much and just do it & learning from practice can be beneficial. I hope we will gather a great team of enthusiasts around this project. I think it has a lot of potential!
  8. I don't know either, but it is fablab 013 that is selling them. Online you can find their phone number but I will also send it to you in a DM.
  9. Hij Manipil, could you send me tour ticketid in a om? Ill see what i can do for you! We are in the middle of expanding our support team again to so we can offer faster service
  10. You must be quite an athlete if you are able to hold your breath for so long
  11. Now the real question is.. did you first put on a bandage or did you clean / took care of your precious Ultimaker?
  12. Hi Didier, Have you already ever replaced the teflon part? You could see if by modifying your profile in Cura would solve your under extrusion, or you can visually check if your teflon part is still OK..
  13. That is what I thought too actually but I didn't look up the stats yet. ... impressive numbers btw :cool:
  14. Great to hear that you are willing to make an effort in setting this up. First I need to document the hack of our previous Ulti-evening and then we can look for the next edition. Perhaps that next edition won't be hosted at multiple locations, but maybe we can already create some outlines.
  15. ' I hope they got the delivery times and quality control issues right by now, I do not follow these things with any kind of regularity. I think its more interesting to see what people are doing with their machines. I like the idea of having "work groups" where people get together and design a multirotor copter or some other device. Perhaps we will see more of that. ' The leadtime on the Ultimaker 2 & The Ultimaker Original is now around 2 weeks. So a lot of progress on that regard. If you like the multirotor project be sure to join! If this proofs to be a success we will be sure to ignite more of these projects In regard of the feeder, as Bas said we are working on improving the current feeder but small changes are already made (maybe unnoticed) and the firmware has also updated and from my point of view the amount of users who are experiencing underextrusion have decreased (not disappeared). It is still a work in progress, but we have definitely not sat still
  16. I think that is the minimal cooling time you see in play, where the head moves away and gives the layer some time to cool down. Without that the heat of the nozzle will probably melt the previous layer again creating a rather rough surface finish..
  17. Every way you can! I don't know about your skills.. ? But if you can CAD-model you can contribute in the design both esthetically and functional. Or if you just want to contribute by building it and testing that is also great! If you want to just share your thoughts and ideas that is great too But the fact that you like the idea of this collaboration is already great news!
  18. If you want to send a ticket to our sales team viahttp://support.ultimaker.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit they will be able to help you out
  19. In the first issue of http://multirotorpilotmag.com/ Erick Royer designed and 3D printed an FPV quadcopter using an Ultimaker 2 3D printer. Erick Royer made all of the files available for free to readers of the magazine and corresponded with many people who have printed and flown as well as modified the design to their liking. Erick was flattered by all of the positive emails I got not only praising the design but also making suggestions as to how it can be improved. Unfortunately with his workload at the magazine, he has not been able to design a new machine in time for this issue, but Erick spoke with the people at Ultimaker and we came up with an idea to collaboratively design a multirotor with our readers. Ultimaker manages a http://www.youmagine.com where users share designs of all kinds of 3D printed parts called YouMagine.com and ultimately we will make the final design available on their website as well as on our magazine’s website. To make this happen we are going to host a forum which you can visit http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/forum/81-collaborations/ and share your ideas as to what you think would make the ultimate multirotor machine that anyone can print on a 3D printer. Are you already experienced in building a multirotor? Have you ever flew around with one? Do you have a source of inspiration? More importantly, do you want to contribute in this project? - All help is welcome; from testing to CAD-modeling and even to an awesome custom paintjob! There is a lot to consider with a project like this from what type of machine (quad, hex, octo) to how large it should be. We need to understand the limits of most hobby 3D printers on the market and keep the largest parts within their capabilities. We also have to consider the motors, speed controls and props that this machine will require. Erick envisions that this will be a machine that can use inexpensive components. He obtained the components from my FPV Quad from HobbyKing as they offer a ton of motors, ESCs, props and controllers. It would be great to have a machine that not only performs well but is inexpensive to build and co-designed by the Ultimaker-community! If you would like to be involved in this project, please visit http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/forum/81-collaborations/and post your ideas. We will close the thread in the forum on September 15th and begin to compile all of the comments to come up with the design at which point we will be looking for help from anyone who wants to help, for example has CAD experience that would like to assist in the parts designs. If you have any questions or comments on this project, you can contact Erick directly at http://mailto:erickr@maplegatemedia.com or Sander via http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/user/423-sandervg/ We look forward to working as a team to create the Ulti-Multirotor! Everything is possible!
  20. really don't wanna be an annoying customer. Just thinking a Mail took over 2 Weeks to get answered, makes me not wanna deal with your sales team anymore. And my Mails to your Support for Troubleshooting took the same time to proceed. So let's just leave it like that, guess at the moment I'm not to positive when it comes to Ultimaker Support. You answering my Posts is the first good news from Ultimaker Support=) Not an easy job you have =) If the response time is too slow, you have the right to complain or at least mention it to me. Only a few months ago we doubled our team but it is already showing that we need to grow more. We will need to start looking for a bigger team again! The Teflon Part is the white Thing in between right ? With Brim you mean the black stuff right ? Shell I try to get rid of it ? Yes & no. The white part is the teflon part indeed. But inside is a brim, like a damaged wall/edge? It should be clean. In it should rest the bowden tube, but the brim is preventing it to go fully in. And maybe even create more friction for the passing filament. Looking at the pictures it doesn't seem you have a lot of underextrusion, but you are experiencing stringing? Have you tried increasing speed to 40 or 50mm/s? (fill density can be set lower, to like 10 and your print is still very strong).
  21. Hi Sebizzle, Thank you for your post. I am sorry to hear you were not happy with the offer of a voucher. It gives you the chance to buy the correct part with the same money, why is that not satisfying? I see a big brim in the teflon part on your first picture. That can lead to under extrusion. Have you tried increasing the temperature a little bit? Can you tell me a little bit more about the profile you are printing with now a days? (temperature / speed / layer height) btw: http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/4525-how-to-upload-an-image-to-the-forum/ you can see how to upload pictures to the forum.
  22. And do you use your cad-modeling-powers more for like.. aesthetic designs or functional?
