Hi All, After 5 days of tinkering, I've finally got my Ultimaker in one piece, thanks to the Ultimaker team who have done a great job of building a kit that its relatively easy to put together. Now trying to get communication with one of my PC's up and running. I tried RepG on both Ubuntu 12.04 and Win7 without any luck and moved onto Cura. Although Linux still didn't work, Windows 7 works fine. Cura happily updated my Ultimakers firmware and began the test process. Unfortunately it came unstuck again and gave a message "Your temperature sensor or heater is not working". The heater is definitely working because I can feel the head on the block, so I'm assuming its something to do with the temperature sensor, but have no idea how to solve it. Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated. Here's the console log: Connecting to: COM3 250000 Serial(port=u'COM3', baudrate=250000, bytesize=8, parit y='N', stopbits=1, timeout=2, xonxoff=False, rtscts=False, dsrdtr=False) start echo: External Reset Marlin: 1.0.0 RC2 echo: Last Updated: Marlin-Thu, 12 Apr 2012 14:01:30 +0200 - 414408b2d0fed428b55 445f48b01d00932a7a92c | Author: Build-Me-Marlin echo: Free Memory: 4498 PlannerBufferBytes: 1232 echo:Using Default settings: echo:Steps per unit: echo: M92 X78.74 Y78.74 Z533.33 E865.89 echo:Maximum feedrates (mm/s): echo: M203 X250.00 Y250.00 Z5.00 E45.00 echo:Maximum Acceleration (mm/s2): echo: M201 X9000 Y9000 Z100 E10000 echo:Acceleration: S=acceleration, T=retract acceleration echo: M204 S3000.00 T3000.00 echo:Advanced variables: S=Min feedrate (mm/s), T=Min travel feedrate (mm/s), B= minimum segment time (ms), X=maximum xY jerk (mm/s), Z=maximum Z jerk (mm/s) echo: M205 S0.00 T0.00 B20000 X20.00 Z0.40 E5.00 echo:PID settings: echo: M301 P22.20 I1.08 D114.00 Error: : Extruder switched off.

Got my tracking number today (24/5) ... Time to start clearing a space to build and operate it. :-) Arrived today (29/5), pretty good since it spent 2.5 days stuck in customs (landed in Australia Friday night). Frame is together and 3 axis motors mounted so far, a full photo log will follow...

Hi Graeme & Owen, I also just orderd my Ultimaker last night, and live up north (Brisbane). WIll be checking out the forum for the next few weeks and starting to get the software side of things in order before the hardware arrives. -Daniel
