  1. i report the photo here to create a more understandable topic.

    ok so the screw just hold the cables and the magic is with the solder! Why ultimaker didn't choose a screw connector to make the connection just with the screw? When yesterday i unmounted the plate i thought the contact was made by the screw and not by the solder. Now it's clear.

    Ok tomorrow i will check mine.

     

  2. Several people had a cold solder joint there which can have invisible cracks where electricity can't flow. This would cause intermittent problems and it can also cause bad temp readings without causing the firmware to declare a total failure.

     

    But this could happen at a random time even if previously was working?

     

  3. you should now reheat the solder.

    I recommend you take the bed apart again and heat up the two connectors to the sensor with a soldering iron (and add a tiny bit of solder to assure that you heated it hot enough). Melt the solder and then continue to heat it an extra 5 to 10 seconds to be sure it's very hot.

     

    Do you have images?

    I did not understand where i need to reheat.

    Ok this is frustrating.

    Every week a new problem appear and i really do not enjoying my new 3d printer.

    The print bed do not heat up.

    As consequence of that i have warp as i say and show in this post:

    http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/4228-detachment-from-the-plate/&do=findComment&comment=34933

    Now i undestood that the problem is the bed that do not heat up.

    Before it did works, now it does not.

    Before what? (maybe the firmware upgrade).

    As i say in another topic an error showed up:

    http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/4227-is-leaving-the-ultimaker2-alone-safe/&do=findComment&comment=35061

    Today it showed up again and this time i made a photo.

    As suggested in the former topic, i checked if the connection of the cable was ok (the temp sensor cable under the plate) and the cables are not loosy and well tight. But i thighten them just tobe sure.

    I opened a ticket..... But nothing or none answered yet.

    What i have to do with my new ultimaker2?

     

  5. Ok i'm making a print right now and i noticed that the plate is not so hot...

    in the buildplate temp tune says 102C/70C and the left is going down to reach the right temperature...

    but if i touch the plate with my hand..it's almost cold..

    i think that i would feel something like 70°C!

    Maybe the problem i describe here:

    http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/4227-is-leaving-the-ultimaker2-alone-safe/&do=findComment&comment=35061

    is the problem...

    maybe the temp sensor of the buildplate is gone!

     

  6. I think simmon is talking about a fire that will burn down his work place or cause serious damage. I don't think this is a worry. The worst thing likely to happen is that something will get knocked off the bed and you will print a big mess and waste some filament. The worst thing possible is that the thermostat falls out and the head heats to 300C and wrecks itself (the nylon parts will melt and be destroyed). But no serious fire damage to the UM or your building.

     

    Yes, this is exactly what i fear.

    About thermostat, two days ago i started a print and in the time the nozzle need to warm up i went in front of the computer. After some minutes, everything was silent so i checked and the display showed me an error due to the thermostat or the temperature sensor of the plate. Something like "thermostat problem please contact ultimaker" then i turn off the ultimaker and turn on and everything was ok.

    Is something that i need to take care or it's a bug?

     

  7. thank you.

    Happen sometimes like that or for the support column that cura creates. But that seems more a mechanical issue: the print head to print the next level of the support slightly touch it and not the first, not the second, not the third but the maybe after a while it detach the column... and clearly it damage the print.

    By the way i'm finding the support created from cura really hard to remove without damaging the print.
