  1. To be honest, I have no idea what you're talking about... could be me, sorry (on the other hand: what's the current temperature in Madrid...? :p )

    I assume the labelled part is supposed to be the bed, correct? That top endswitch doesn't exist on an UM2, just one at the bottom...

    Anyway, an endswitch has a proper direction to be pushed which should noch be changed as the switch itself could block before switching.

  2.  

    It's true that Ultimaker products are more expensive than other 3D printers.

     

    That seemed to be true last year, but several comparable new machines are priced at or slightly above the UM2+: Raise3D N2, BCN3D Sigma, 3DGence One, and Lulzbot TAZ6 are a few

     

    ...than other printers... not: than all other printers... ;)

  3. Well I don't consider it normal... but mine looks the same already for a long time so it's probably no problem...

     

    Well, white plastic gets brown with heat. That's normal. But of course one would not see it if the plastic would have a different color. That's maybe one reason why in the past all pcbs were green or brown... ;)

  4. Curse you guys....everytime this thread gets a post, I'm all excited an Ultimaker 3 has been announced.   Doh!

     

    If Ultimaker stays with their habits concerning announcements of new or upgraded products, the website would be on maintenance for about 8-9h before an announcement (see UM2, UMO+, UM2+). So if you see that there is a new post in this thread you will always be disappointed... ;)

    But: There have also been such maintenance times after which not a new product but new bugs of the forum were introduced (oops - did I just write this?).

    Just wondering (I might be absolutely wrong about this)

    - What's the room temperature?

    - How does the filament looks when this happens (does it has a big bite?)

    - What color are you using?

    - Its a um2extended plus or non plus?

    - Print hours since last time coupler was installed?

    - Photos of the failed prints helps BIG time to see what might be happening.

     

    in addition:

    - all three fans of the printhead are operational?

    Printing times of 30 hours and more are not uncommon, the machine can handle long prints without problems (if it is in a good condition...)

     

    In addition:

    - What's the temperature of the feeder motor after 4 hours? Can you still touch it? You may have to remove the white cover in the back left corner; two screws from outside...
