Plastic not sticking to surface, just strings everywhere

Yes no plasrtic came out :(

We did the "home" routing with a piece of paper....so test print away ...? Finger on the OFF button just in case!

Well we can't get beyond that....really wanted to try a test print!

Thank you...we nailed that down. (Screws we way in, blocking...all set now) See other thread...getting problems in Cura with limit switches now

We even swapped out the Right and Left (blue) wires to see if it was the switch. Same error after trying that. Suggestions? Anything we can test or do we need to replace the limit switch?

We press the FRONT RIGHT limit switch as it asks and it doesnt go any further

Well if you look at the pictures in the Wiki, step 6 http://wiki.ultimaker.com/Ultimaker_rev.4_assembly:_Z-stage The picture shows it having two holes on each side for a cap to be screw/nut in

Ok, the Wiki references a completed threaded rod. Mine has a flange (about an inch) narrow of now thread...which makes sense to thread into the coupling However the top...the wiki shows that it is capped off like the two shafts for the z to glide up and down. My kit, there is no such thing So the top of the z screw looks like it sits a mm or two beneth the wood top piece This sound right?

I got it installed....made sure the left side was on really snug....but nothing mechanically holds that in...is there anything I can/should do to make sure this does wiggle out in the future? Or will the rods be plenty of force to keep things in line?

Now I know the left side just slides into the side...but it seems when we slide the rods down and thru the Z platform, one rod won't line up with the hole a bit. If we apply some force, the left side of the platform is popping out. Any tips?

Thank you for your reply So the short belts ,which would mean the shorter rods...the ones that are on the back and front (as viewed from the front of the machine)....should have some spacing away from the caps. So, about the same as what the coupler on the z-motor has?

Tonight we are reviewing the info here http://wiki.ultimaker.com/Calibrate How "flush" should the pulleys be to the sides/caps? Or should they? As we read through this, that's the one question we still have

Thank you, Sander Mastory I am not going to reply to the insulting private message you sent. I have notified Ultimaker Staff.

Thank you!

Mastory, please stop replying Nothing you say is helpful :roll: You didn't know the answer until GR5 posted, then you comment I need to follow directions, its very clear.

If anything needs a hack! I love that logo, as my printer comes together day by day, I am looking forward to adding some paint to make it stand out more... ...then I assembled my Ulticontroller and noticed it will cover it up! What mods have others done to keep our little friend visible?

You're 200 miles away...so don't be surprised if we get frustrated and offer to meet at Fenway LOL Our belts sound fine...I guess we're being over cautious. We are also finding that the comments at the bottom of the Wiki are very helpful too. Other builders have observed directions that were in reverse, etc. Hopefully the Ultimaker guys will review those spots for clarity The platform went together pretty well for me..asides having oily hands from the bearing packaging...then trying to work those wood pieces around...but, it seems to be OK. We shall see

Okay, that makes sense...hopefully one of the Ultimaker guys will reply as well to confirm that!

You say use either cable....but make sure you use the right one....that's a contradiction Let me sum it up ... 2 connections, 3 connertors on the cable...I was thinking perhaps it is this way if you go to dual extruders (which I have the option kit...but not using it right off)

We made really good progress tonight, my co-worker took over on the mounting of the print head to the XY axes We have them in but we watched the video over and over again on the wiki and not sure what's "tight" or not We also haven't tightened the pulleys into place yet (set screws) as we aren't entirely sure how far they should be from the caps So, we are at this point (step 9 ) http://wiki.ultimaker.com/Ultimaker_rev.4_assembly:_Extrusion_head Any tips you can share? Thank you!

Right, when I looked at my cable, then the wiki, I have.... Female Blue Purple Male Red/Yellow/Black Male Green/Orange/Brown On the print head, I have that three-prong female plug, then the male red/black fan plug What's #3? And what should go where?

So ...at some point this cpu fan will plug into something....working on the feeder now

Is that where the CPU fan plugs into? The CPU fan plug has two prongs... Been going thru the Wiki thinking we missed a step...but haven't figured this out?
