Thanks, after further investigations, it seems I had a chain of problems: oxidation on the plug of the PSU explained the bad readings, but it is working in fact. Then I had a bad contact in one of the plugs of the cable going from the small card (on which you plug the PSU ) to the main ultimaker board. If I use another PSU plugged directly to the ultimaker board, everything is working. So I just need to replace this cable. Thanks

Thank you for the answer, I didn't know it was the same PSU and didn't want to make a mistake. But the price of this PSU is very high ! 145€, the price of a cheap 3d printer. I have a 24v 15A PSU lying on a shelve, I think I will use it as a replacement for the moment, except if somebody tells me I should not (Not sure how sensitive the ultimaker is to the quality of the PSU).

Hello everybody, after several years and thousands of hours of 3d printing mys ultimaker original+ stopped working. I think it's the PSU. But it is the PSU of the heated bed upgrade, it has four pins inside a metalic circle. It is said to deliver 24v. With a voltmetre I get a reading like 10v that drops instantaneously. I don't find it in any reseller in France (only original PSU can be found). Does anybody know what voltage I should put in each pin and how many watts it should provide for each pin ? Or if somebody knows where to buy it ? Thanks

Nice that the light comes through. Did you print it with a shell thickness of 1? I noticed with some tests that the light passing through is not proportional to the thickness. More or less, up to 1.2mm (with the white blueish colorfabb) the light passes, with more thickness it's almost stopped. So the parts letting the light passing are here 0.8mm thick, the other ones 2mm thick.

I forgot to post a lot of prints lately, but I like this one so here is a lamp shade: More details here: https://ultimaker.com/en/community/prints/5051-wireframe-lamp-shade

Hello all, I don't have so much time to publish my prints anymore, and here is the reason why: I founded Chantier Libre a non-profit fablab 3 years ago, which promotes the use of libre softwares and open hardware. Of course the first tool we used was my trusty old Ultimaker Original. We launched a crowdfunding campaign to allow us to build more machines (SLA and ceramic 3D printer, big size 3D printer, thermoforming machine...) and mainly to build the first prototype for our openhardware big CNC machine Fraizilla. This CNC is designed to cut 2.5x1.25m panels for projects like Opendesk or Wikihouse. The estimated cost is under 6500€. The design is easily extendable. The steel frame can be build in a workshop with lasercutter and metalsheet folding machines. All the other components are standard an easy to find online. Here is a video introducing Fraizilla: You can support us so that we publish all the design files (freecad files and building instructions): And in case you wonder, the name Fraizilla is because in french fraise means strawberry and cutter, and the machine is big and powerfull ;-)
