I see in the advanced settings Heated Bed unchecked.
Check the "Bed Temperature" checkbox in Machine settings and set the value to 0 degrees in Advanced. It will not insert the M190 line into your .gcode that way.
Thank you!

New version has problems
Set to Ultimaker Original
I see in the advanced settings Heated Bed unchecked.
Load model, set my usual settings. Put SD Card in Ultimaker Original and sits at the "Heating Bed" prompt.
Not good.
-
Okay tried it out....despite the settings being Ultimaker Original and No Heated Bed, if you go to use this, the Ultimaker Original sits at "Heating bed".
Umm, you guys test this stuff, right?
-
I see it mentions "Ultimaker Original users who use the 'Configuration Wizard' and 'Bed Leveling Wizard' are essentially directed to stick with 15.04. Why? Is the UM Original being abandoned?
I am guessing that those of us with UM Originals can use this new CURA for slicing and printing?

I've had a few emails from USA support so hoping that's fruitful.
I do have a spare Bowden tube and collet from the dual extruder upgrade kit...so I have some parts available if I need to use them
Just hate to use the time to do that and still have the same issue
Pictures of...? Where the Bowden is gripped by the collet? I can do that

I'm really following out of love with Ultimaker. I just posted a large update to this thread, hit Post Comment and its gone.
Anyways....
Took print nozzle off using the steps mentioned in the video.
Indeed a very clogged print head.
Probed around the opening of the heater block, more plastic all the way up to the coupler. Removed all of that as best i could.
I had a spare nozzle since I had the dual extruder upgrade I never used. Installed that.
Removed the cursed Ultimaker Silver Grey PLA and installed some new PLA Pro Black
Started with get black PLA oozing
Thought it best to do a small test print, using the Ultimaker robot.
Bowden tube is sliding off the coupler 45 seconds into printing.
I have no idea why this picture is insisting on displaying sideways. Another Ultimaker item that wont work right for me
I'm beyond frustrated with this printer, its been this way for two years. Constant troubles with the Bowden tube popping off on any prints over an hour and now its down to less than a minute.
-
Regarding the Bowden tube popping out....I see the Thingiverse item and I recall some had more troubles using that. I wonder...and this may require a support request, is there a better solution?
As to the clogged tip, once off...and if it is indeed clogged, asides heating it up on the stove...I'm hesitant to poke and jab at the insides. Would that do more damage than good? Not sure how rugged these nozzles are.
On the other hand...I bought the dual extruder option, so if I search through my parts, may have a spare nozzle after all
-
I'll check those videos, thank you!
-
So I tried to do a large print and left my printer un attended Came back 4 hours later and I was greeted to a large pile of PLA dangling off the front of the machine, Bowden tube popped off and a very incomplete print.
(*Deep breath* Bowden tube popping off has been a consistent problem with my Ultimaker, which has given me great pause about buying any other Ultimaker product. Outside of small parts, I have yet to get a large print accomplished.)
Since the forum changed, I found a few threads on cleaning and suggested ways to prevent clogs between material changes on the Ultimaker 2. But none for the Ultimaker Original
I heated the nozzled to 225C and it was streaming out some brown (burnt) Ultimaker Silver Grey PLA. It has since stopped doing so and now nothing is coming out. Help
I am hoping I do not have to do surgery to this thing and dismantle it too much to get it working again.
And I would love to hear some tips on getting this thing to print reliably
-
Well, why not innovate and improve, even if the leveling is "so easy"?
I know I dislike the need to calibrate the bed before every print...its a necessary evil for good prints tho.
But, again, just an idea on something that can improve the ease of printing for people like me
-
Just curious is this is on the To Do list for Ultimaker at some point?
With all the sensors available to measure distance (ultrasonic,IR, laser, etc), such a feature might help make printing that much easier for so many (like me!)
Thanks!

Hello Everyone!
It's great to have such an amazing response for our dual extruder
These a little bad news in this update: the company who was supposed to make hopefully the final prototype before production had some issues and didn't managhe to make the new parts. They said it will be ready next week - so that's some good news!Keep checking this forum thread as we'll be releasing a video of our dual extruder in action very soon.
Sam
We're all waiting to see those promised pictures and videos....

I bought my Ultimaker kit (original) and the second extruder option. I've been excited to see dual extruders in action, like other 3D printers have. But in the year or so i have had my kit, I decided to wait on installing it until I saw how it worked for others. Well, I haven't seen anyone post any impressive dual extruder prints. They have all had some issues with "marbling" and other complications.
So I am not terribly surprised the Ultimaker 2 ran into problems making it work with the existing hardware.
And as others have posted, the company does have a problem with being honest. i got burned early on, buying my Ultimaker kit only to discover the Ultimaker 2 was released 8 days later...which is what I would have really preferred to have. But since I bought a "kit", no refunds. Just a smug "Sorry" and told that's how Apple does things (in how they don't announce when new models come out).
While I like my Ultimaker for the prints it can do....I don't think I will be making any future purchases. I enjoy the community support. But the company puzzles me.
-
I appreciate your thoughtful and open news update.
I know the lack of dual extruding isn't going to be popular news item...but glad you addressed it. Even the person who claimed they had dual extrusion working on their Ultimaker 2 has failed to provide pictures or video to back up their claim. So clearly, its very hard to do.

I've tried a few times and Cura just sits there and doesn't build the print time on it
I don't know if its a lousy model (perhaps) or there's something wrong in Cura
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:275096
There are two files, one says "repaired" but I can't get that one to do a print time/slice either
Thanks!
So say we all! =)

Anyone else have problems with this? I have Windows 8.1, installed the latest, let it use the un-install option for the older version...didn't work.
When I tried to load the old version, I have a Pearl error.
Did the install again and it worked the second time
-
Check this one out
-
I'm impressed how well the Form 1+ printer did as well. I asked them to send me a sample print and its amazing! I still prefer my Ultimaker since the build size is so small and the cost of resin is up there.
-
Well they do want to "protect" their intellectual property...so showing it, might reveal it. And based on our replies, we've demonstrated that Open Source is the way things should be/stay.
-
You're printing ABS from a stock Ultimaker original? Those ducts look good, asides printing those, what else is needed?
PLA90...I'll have to research that
-
:mrgreen:
Without kidding, I like the idea of Ultimaker looking at designs and saying: This is good stuff! Like Blecheimers fans, or Robberts feeder.
Exactly ^^
I've only been in 3D printing for 2 years, I see a lot of things out there for the UM/UM2 and wonder if I should try those. Perhaps a more experienced member of the community or a staff member...it would be nice to know what items are beneficial or harmful to the operation of these printers.
I understand that experimentation is highly encouraged here, so many will print the item, try it, and decide for themselves I guess what I am hoping for is something similar in effort as the printing guide some members put together, to help debug common printing issues.
I see a lot of fan shroud modifications yet know how essential it is for that to work as designed by UM. However...if there is one UM thinks is BETTER than theirs, that I would like to know. And the list goes on
-
Don't go the path of MakerBot. Born open source, then closed it...and there went the innovation. You couldn't give me a Makerbot device. Its land fill.
-
I'd really like to see how this works in action ....video? Photos of prints in 2 colors?
How precise are the two colors? I do not want the "marbling" you seem to see in other printers with dual extruders mixing colors instead of being separate colors in the print.
You've enticed us! Let's see it in action
Thoughts about the new Cura

As usual....you nailed it. Rush it out the door by THIS date instead of releasing when the product in shambles. Not the sort of attention you want to garner (rushed work versus quality).
