  1. I may be the one to blame: I ripped the wire of the board cooling fan while converting the printer. So presently the board has no forced cooling. Initially I did not think of this but from other discussions it became clear that the controller overheats. So I think and hope I can solve this by replacing my fan. Otherwise the HBK kit is a model in completeness and well thought out.
  2. That gave me the hint to solving my problem: For testing I used an extra household fan to blow against the electronic board and that solved the problem. The z-axis controller must have overheated. Probably I damaged the board cooling fan when converting my Ultimaker. Have now ordered a new fan and will see then. Maybe I try to reduce the current when I find out how. Thanks for giving me the right clue.
  3. I think I am on to a solution: Cooling the electronic board with an extra fan cured the problem. So it seems to be the z-axis controller that overheats.
  4. Hi Solidprint, have you solved your issue? I have the very same thing and not solved at all. I have upgraded my Ultimaker with the official new heated bed upgrade. Everything goes well - only the z axes goes crazy. 10mm drop, sometime once, sometimes twice and then this terrible clicking noise and the rhythm in the screw. Now, after I read your statements I remember that my cooling fan came off and I run the main board without forced cooling. Could this be the cause? I would be grateful if you have a solution or if we find one combining our knowledge. Kind regards Gunther
  5. I am relieved to read I am not alone! I have installed the new heated bed upgrade on my dual extrusion Ultimaker original. Bed leveling I had the same thing, z axis dropped in about 10mm steps, I think after 25 seconds. Eventually I worked around that. But on printing I have the same thing: after about 30 seconds the the bed drops about 10mm and then it either drops further by the same amount or stps - but in any case the z axis/ z motor starts to give a ticking noise. When I touch the spindle I can feel attempted or true movement forth and back. It is so small it is not visible but clearly detectable by hand and ear. I tried to support the bed by hand while printing but that has no influence. I have written to Ultimaker support but so far no answer. Are you all having a good advice for me? My case is same but different, the printer continues to "print" in mid air after the bed dropped. Thanks for any comments. ga
  6. Dear new-bee + expert, I have an Ultimaker original and want to build a Kossel Mini. I want to use Cura on the Kossel. I do not know if I need to use a particular board in the Kossel to do this. Which electronic board have you used? Thanks Gunther
  7. Yes, I have no arduino, and in fact I miss more parts. Only I was unable to understand and see this. But now I was on to sales of Ultimaker and they are of course very helpful and parts are coming. Waiting is painful....Thanks guys!
  8. Thanks illuminarti, i just did that and now wait..
  9. thanks, this gives me some hope. Unfortunately I have the third hole near the switch but nothing behind it, just a hole in the side wall. I took the pcb board out but there is nothing on the back side of it. But if I just want to use the Ulticontroller, I switch the power on and only hear the cooling fan, no reaction, the display remains dark. How to go about it? The square end of the USB cable plugs into the bottom of the right side of the printer, near the power connector and switch. The other end goes into your computer.
  10. Hi experts, I have just finished my Ultimaker assembly, with Ulticontroller. Now I want to start, but no reaction. Basic settings need to be done via USB cable (??!), which was part of the kit. But where do I connect the cable to the Ultimaker?Thanks for any help.
