  1. Not always. But one in a while the firmware of the ultimaker (in this case the ultimaker 2) is upgraded and you should do it. Since the release the Ultimaker had 2 firmware upgrade. This is the second... and i don't know why i can't do it! My computer (3 computers) does not recognise anymore the ultimaker 2.

    So i still have the former firmware.

     

  2. It was a great month of prints.. and everything was perfect (almost) as i wanted.

    And now it's suddenly clogged again.

    The problem now is that the filament is blocked in the head and as far as i can pull it can't go away.

    I think that is formed a block under the white teflon in the nozzle that do not allow the filament to go away. This is something that happened other times and probably a wrong way to project the nozzle.

    The spring that push down the teflon in the nozzle maybe is not a great system and sometimes it happen that a little block expand under the teflon and create a blockage.

    So you need to unmount the head and start again.

    Since is not a really big deal to unmount everything and try to repair the situation, it's however frustrating and i'm wondering if a better constructed nozzle could prevent that. Just to give you an idea, could be a great deal to have a teflon that screw in the nozzle perfectly.

    By the way there should be a faster way to remove the filament from the nozzle or the filamens that sometimes remains in the bowden tube when you change the filaments. Maybe some kind of a middle aperture of the bowden tube for purging.

     

  3. Hi!!!

  4. wow!

    cool stuff!

    do you think that the upgrade may have gone wrong and re-updating could cure the machine?

    I'm still waiting the new plate and it's a month i'm not able to do anything..

    i'm climbing a flat wall to understand why is like that.

    And now i would like to try with the firmware..
