Ok i have done the flow test and had allready problems with 4mm³/sec.... guess i have to check some things...

Hmmm from your results i would take both feeder and spool need to be repositioned to improve quality and quantity. Maybe on the side?

what temp did you print on?

I partly agree.... but Loctite can make a maybe needed disassembly of parts much harder..... i have seen quite some screwheads beeing ruined because of that. Maybe if the would use the weakest version it could be helpfull but not harmfull...

When you want to use the move material option try to move the printhead by hand first. If not easily moveable turn the printer off and on again. Now you should be able to move the printhead easily and use the move material option properly. Problem is the Ultimaker thinks the last command is not done yet and blocks every movement. The Red Lights are probably nothing to worry about as illuminarti said. For the filament grinding issue.... if you try to force it through the Feeder by hand it will naturally be grinded. If done through motor movements try to play with the force the wheel is pressing against the filament. I would say try reducing it first.

Made a refined version of the Original. Now has a hole for the screw ist not that pointy anymore and you can move it more easily. Can be found here: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ultimaker-2-bed-leveling-screw-cap-v1-1

I know this type of behavior from metal..... you can bend metal if you heat just 1 side..... other side stays hard as befor but the heated sid will shrink when cooling down. how to fix: Way 1: Enclosed Printer with atleast 40-50°C Air temp (Could be problematic with larger builds) Way 2: Decrease Heat insertion into the product (lower layer height, lower print temp. ) Edit: What i forgot... it could also be that the cohesion force is pulling it into a more stable shape....which is normally a sphere.... how to fix: lower layer height (less overhang that curls up)

With PLA they need to be Printed at a scaling of 0.97 in Y and X.

last problem seemingly solved. i can finally print at 100% feed rate. Problem was the Lead screw on the grinding Wheel in the Feeder had loosened a bit.... thx to all of you guys for the help again.

Could you pls post the stl file? thx in advance for the great idea ^^

50mm 0,1mm/layer 215°C Temp The Spacer thing was my fault..... got it wrong since i was about a day awake at that point.

Ok the print turned out to be fine and waws very good quality... but i needed to use 124% Material Flow. Otherwise everything is good now.

Sadly i read your post to late gr5.... luckily i thought of it myself ^^ btw i think it was one of your posts i read which enlightend me with the knowledge of the third fan ^^ one of the crimps on the fan adapter was bad and was out of the adapter..... i fixed it but that is just a temporary solution....i am currently doing a test print to find out if it was the reason.... though i think it was not..... as i looked into the printhead after i removed the bowden tube i just saw clear yellow filament and it came out pretty nicely with change of filament.... Regarding the Rod Issue..... no Spacer much issue.... though i am thinking of a homeprinted solution for that.... i dont want to take the whole thing apart because of 1 Spacer which is just causing me minor problems... I will report back with the results of the testprint. thx guys

Hi my problems started with the second print after i did an initial Test Print with the Ultirobot which turned out to be very good. After that i was experiencing underextrusion which ruined all other prints. I am still in the search for the final reason why.... I now have found the fan in the back of the head is not working and as far as i have read here there could now be a partial clog...... i found a disconnected adaper near the arduino board but i dont know where it belongs..... sadly it is very short and i dont want to damage my ultimaker further than i got it delivered yesterday.... btw i print in 0.1 layers and 50mm/s so i should be below the optimal 8mm³/s right? list of problems i have/had: X rod in the back always moves to the left side (Solved) Underextrusion (solved) Fan in back of Printhead not working (solved) i hope you guys can help me out thx in advance Takei

Current lead time is about 9 weeks so you can excpect your Ultimaker in late February or in the beginning March. The Voucher is AFAIK given to people that needed to wait for a long time and were taking several delays for their shipping date (i would have gotten mine in mid December in the original schedule) . Mod pls clarify if i got something wrong. Takei

Hi Toma i ordered on November 3rd (so practically on the 4th) my order has seemingly just been gven to DHL which means we are at a current lead time of a bit over 9 weeks, which means yours will be shipped around the 7th or 10th in February. Delivery Time depends on DHL.... nothing they can do about that ^^ Takei
