Actually, I tried searching this forum and couldn’t find anything specific to clogging on an Ultimaker 2. There must be a procedure in changing from ABS to PLA without having to take apart the nossle afterwards.
Whouldn’t it be a good opportunity to sum up the 10 best ways to de-clog an Ultimaker 2?

Hi!
I believe my Ultimaker 2 is clogged. I’m usually printing PLA. I have one roll of black ABS. Now I tried it and it worked perfect. After having printed my ABS parts I wanted to switch back to white PLA. I removed the material in ABS-settings and inserted PLA in ABS-settings because I believed the higher temperature in the nossle would remove the rest of the ABS. First some black ABS came out of the nossle, than some white PLA came out and I was happy, but then all of a sudden no material came out any more. I changed to PLA settings and tried again to change material (removed the white PLA and inserted it again) without luck.
Do you have an idea? What to do next? Is it impossible to change from ABS to PLA?
:sad:

In use already! It will let me sleep well tonight. Thank you NachoKaoS! :-)

It's not my last but my first print... :-)
If you should be interested, there is a video of unboxing my Ultimaker 2 as well:

You are right, the left ear is better than the right. Sharp eyed! The left ear is round and smooth, The right is missing some material at the bottom. It looks like it is bended up a little bit.
@WoofysPlace & Nicolinux:
You are wellcome! Thanks for your tribute. :smile:

Hey!
My Ultimaker 2 was shipped last Friday and I got it today. (Switzerland) I went home in my lunch break to take care of the DHL delivery. I can tell, 90 Minutes later I had my first printed shiny blue Ultimaker Robot in my hand. Amazing! ...and I am totally new to 3D printing.
I shot a small video; maybe it is interesting for you guys. I love this piece! It was worth waiting for it!
I hope the video isn’t boring for you. It might be a little long...

Please look at page 22 and read the first sentence of step 21 at the bottom of the page. Here it says "Make sure you have the SD-card inserted that came with your Ultimaker 2" and "Your SD-card comes with the file [ultimaker Robot] click the button if you would like to print this file.".
In step 5 on page 29 it says "After you inserted the included SD-card in your computer"
I believe they just missed to add the SD-card on page 10.

DHL is not available on Saturday, so nobody to ask. I'll wait and see if I will be surprised on Monday...

Did you get a tracking number? I have none...

Yeah!

I ordered on the 20th of September at around 14:00 (CEST). They must have a real long order list and I belief many of us tried to be the first in the row.
It was hard waiting that long but now I'm more than happy to be able to print very soon. :grin:

Hey gr5,
great scale models! This might be a Cura question: How do you scale down your models to 1/87? Cura has the option to scale but only shows two decimal places. You can type up to four but afterwards it shows only two. How accurate is Cura in scaling?
If you want to be precise 1/87 is around 0.0114942528735632

Hi Daniel
Could you tell me where to find 1.0 Ultimaker 2 User Manual? I didn't find it in the Wiki. Isn't that the place to put it?
Greetings,

Dear Sander,
reading your post tells me, you are not shipping today and will not ship tomorrow. Is that right?
Then I have to decompress and forget all about my weekend planning. :cry:
I ordered on the 20th of September around 2pm (CEST).
It really feels like Christmas for a small child. Since you announced your shipping date I am champing at the bit and planning my life beyond being an Ultimaker² owner. As I believed to be one of the first who ordered this incredible piece of craftsmanship, I was hoping to get my hands on mine this weekend. I hope you can feel a little bit how impatient I am.
It is a good feeling though it feels as it could kill me from inside.

Hi Erik,
great suggestions! Let's go for it! To have a design team with different roles is a very good idea. Also to have a confirmation procedure seems reasonable to me. As our vacuuming idea might get a complex project I believe structuring will become essential. Maybe it might be necessary also to implement sub-task-forces; small project teams who efficiently can work and communicate on a certain subject. I think efficient and structured communication will be one of the success factors.

Hey Ultimaker-Team,
you wrote in the Maker Faire Rome Blog entry of your news section "We also have some surprises in store for you."
Which surprises did you release at the Maker Faire Rome? :smile:

Hi Daid
Is it possible in the upcoming versions fo Cura again to implement different infill types, even if they are slower?
I didn’t get an reply on my second question. I am really wondering about the effects of air pressure on hollow and air tight structures. Is there experience on that? Even though water pressure might be the better example. I have seen some GoPro Scuba Mask Mounts on Thingiverse. I’m wondering, if they might break based on their hollow infill.
Greetings,

Hey Daid
I am new to this forum and waiting for my Ultimaker². Could you explain the joke about the pink unicorn?
* An invisible pink unicorn (it improves printing quality. Really!)
I didn't get it! :-)

Hi,
I’m one of the exited Ultimaker² buyers. I am following the development of Ultimaker for quite a while and always thought, once I would by a 3D printer it should be an Ultimaker. I really love their philosophy.
I have two questions related to infill:
- Wouldn’t it be good to use a kind of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitruncated_cubic_honeycomb as infill? Structurewise it should be one of the strongest solutions in relation to the material used.
- Did anybody realised cracks in there hollow structures based on barometric pressure changes during air travel, in the mountains or on their model aircraft build out of 3D printed components?
I’m looking forward to become a part of your amazing community.

Release notes for Cura
in UltiMaker Cura

Hi!
In the past I had not the opportunity to follow the forum as frequent as I wished. Now I would like to know what has changed in Cura version since 14.03 but couldn’t find a release note.
In the news section this 14.03 is the last entry: https://www.ultimaker.com/blogs/news/categories/cura-release-notes
GitHub shows 13.12 as last update: https://github.com/daid/Cura/blob/SteamEngine/changelog
Are you able to assist to get my knowledge up to date or even update the posted links?
Mercy buckets!
