[z axis won't go up - SOLVED]

hi - it's an original. I forgot to say i can rotate the z axis freely and easily by hand when it's off.

thanks!

 

[z axis won't go up - SOLVED]

hi all, ran into a problem this morning - my z axis (build plate) won't go up, only down - it just makes a ticking noise when try Prepare->Move Axis->Z or Auto Home

any ideas?

thanks!

[Post assembly 3d printing guide for new users]

I'm using frogtape at the moment and it seems to be working ok on the 1st print.

 

[noisy]

wow. the quiet retraction by maxy is truely awesome! much happier with my ultimaker now - don't feel like I'm going to drive the neighbours mad

 

[noisy]

hi - thanks everyone. am going to try the quiet retraction parts solution from thingiverse : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:53690

I agree, it might just have been a very noisy print show with all the other printers running

saw the ultimaker 2 there - very impressed!

thanks for your help.

[noisy]

I went to the ultimaker stand at the london 3d printing show yesterday and saw a few of their ultimakers and discovered that my own ultimaker seemed to be a *lot* more noisy than the ones there.

Here's a video - does your ultimaker make this much noise?

if not, do you have any idea what could be up with mine?

[Fan Noise]

thanks everyone - will try the oil first.

 

[Fan Noise]

when I start up my fairly new Ultimaker a lot of the time the fan underneath goes crazy, like really loud.

do I need to replace the fan?

here's a video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/40sqpcjwg5g4to4/Video%2005-06-2013%2010%2044%2024.mov

[Mintemp triggered]

hi - I kept having this issue - check if the blue light on top of the ultimaker is going off just before MIXTEMP - what;s happening is the connectors are being pulled out of the top of the printing block.

there;s a clip which holds them in place but I've removed the wires from that clip and it works fine. see image

 

[rattle]

At high speeds my ultiamaker can make quite a rattle.is that normal?

[MINTEMP and MAXTEMP errors]

hi - looks like it was a loose connection - wiggled the wires around a bit and checked the connections and it works fine now. Will do some more tests today on longer prints and see if it comes back.

thanks for your help!

[MINTEMP and MAXTEMP errors]

hi - recently recieved a pressembled ultimaker and just getting into it (loving it btw).

Worked ok for the first 5 prints or so but since doing the Marlin upgrade (or possibly a new PLA batch) have been getting both MINTEMP and MAXTEMP errors - am thinking it must be a sensor because the temperature ranges from between 10 and 400+ degress in a matter of seconds.

uploaded a video of it failing here:

any ideas?

thanks in advance for help!
