Not my design, but an awesome print nonetheless: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5lhjrtbejxq593e/2013-12-23%2020.27.11.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/7hckd30duh87h0k/2013-12-24%2018.54.10.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/qq5h5ekwjgknqti/2013-12-24%2018.54.27.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/nlqk1x2tq0p6kq5/2013-12-24%2018.54.41.jpg Hope the pictures come through, they are from my dropbox. ( Edit: pictures didn't came through. Is there any way i can show the pictures directly from dropbox instead of linking to dropbox? I did about 3 hours to remove the support and remove almost all of the retraction caused stuff. Tank print after this one failed horribly though. Meshmixer didn't do it for the 70mb file someone wanted me printed :( Now printing another tank: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:178292/#files Cheers, Lennart

The official maker did it though https://www.dropbox.com/s/jmlfoxoabn5793g/DSC09947.JPG https://www.dropbox.com/s/3u0um5m2eo9hdyn/DSC09948.JPG

Hey Athiandr, how did your print work out in the end? I'm also curious to how you finished the print, as I myself also have a print which needs some touch ups. Great design by the way, was that Zbrush? Cheers, Lennart

Hi! I have some questions: Ok, When more issues arrise I will check back in. Again thanks, Gr5

Hey Gr5 ( George?) Yeah "The coffin's cube" . it was on the disk when UM2 shipped so i wanted to print it Cool that you know him, it's like a small world afterall! ( STILL haven't solved it btw) Anyway, check out my new 8 hour print ( with 3 hours of support and retraction problem cleaning)! https://www.dropbox.com/s/wf0rvxyvfqwvjnb/2013-12-23%2020.26.59.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/5lhjrtbejxq593e/2013-12-23%2020.27.11.jpg and after cleaning https://www.dropbox.com/s/3mt7ycrwieiqjem/2013-12-24%2000.03.09.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/1al1acnkbf0omzb/2013-12-24%2000.03.31.jpg ( retraction settings: only the onboard retraction was set to 5.5 instead of 4.5) Actually the support generated was a pain to remove together with the stringing, thus I think next time I will generate it with Meshmixer. Also the overhangs are a problem, but the print came out really nice for one of the first prints. Cheers! Lennart

Maybe it is not as bad to make a dremel attachment for sandblasting. In my unbiased view, there should be a fitter to put onto the dremel, a rotary fan which converts the rotating speed of the dremel to air speed an inlet to a sand holder container which the container is airtight, an outlet from that container ( preferably tangential entrance? to keep the particles suspended in air when coming out) preferably an open point between the inlet and outlet of the container, to force air to go to the container, but to also have more carrying air, and a nozzle perhaps the dremel isn't really needed, i heard there is a fan/ compressor design on youmagine.com. Just my 2 cents as a process engineer. Paint skills! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ihfo64p4er80cgu/Naamloos.png

I Got it! yay! Edit: had to fix some issues though: http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/3775-very-large-vibration-when-starting-print/ But it works! https://www.dropbox.com/s/omuheji1xnvnnd4/2013-12-23%2017.51.58.jpg

So now with the glue stick and the retraction settings to 5.5 some better prints have been made. Coffins cube (still havent solved it): https://www.dropbox.com/s/f0ze4spoce26qzy/2013-12-22%2019.15.54.jpg Ultimaker brobot printing in action: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hjdmfznseh24apx/2013-12-22%2017.14.34.jpg all in all, Looks good! some minor overhang improvement is needed. I'm going to print something more intricate first and see how Cura handles it. Cheers!

Cool, I will try the retraction settings tomorrow! ( it's bedtime here) I need to configure Cura as well, but that is something for tomorrow/ later date. Fun times, and thanks Gr5!

Done! It seems to have solved the problem for hitting the clips too, as i am now printing a cal test: https://www.dropbox.com/s/afpehlr9na2fch2/2013-12-21%2021.43.12.3gp (see the video for the first calibration print, and second in action) Some issues with the edges remain, however. I am now grinding the forums to look for how to improve this. Any tips, as usual, are welcome. Sidenote: I did use the glue stick that came with the UM2, but it wasn't helping so I scratched the glue off again. This gave more grip. The crooked fan shroud indeed remains, but luckily now is not yet a limiting factor anymore. I was already thinking of loosening the fan. Also fresh from the press: (dutch saying translated in english) https://www.dropbox.com/s/kl4wk9saq5vcghx/2013-12-21%2022.12.27.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/acbpat3ze30v67x/2013-12-21%2022.12.21.jpg Cheers! Lennart

OK i have done some adjustments, and it works! My conclusion: the metal is really weak from the home "clipper" and in a relaxed state it missed the header home. This is my improvised version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/de9ox1plq61zohf/2013-12-21%2014.17.31.jpg ( some tape and pads for furniture ( thanks to Ikea)) and a video on how it homes properly now: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8pnyeejde7ze1dj/2013-12-21%2014.24.33.3gp This evening i will make a calibration test print again: still some issues remain! https://www.dropbox.com/s/8pnyeejde7ze1dj/2013-12-21%2014.24.33.3gp Cheers, Lennart

I Really like that you clarified this, as i was in shock the first time it happened

Hi guys, My Ultimaker 2 has arrived yesterday, but it seems to need some tinkering as well to get it running (excitement was bit tempered though). So let's fix it! The problem described above is one that I also seem have. A lot of noise when homing in. My first question on this, Should I tighten the bolts in the axis from the drive belt from the step motor? Loose, calibration print is not square ( actually i have no idea what it should look like), Tightened, Motor grinding as in the video from the first post. when I only loosen the one connected to the motor, it is not always "gripping" in properly when moving the extruder left to right. (see video for what I mean) https://www.dropbox.com/s/357xmnbkygv0jio/2013-12-20%2017.07.41.3gp Any tips? For more info and my second problem: calibration print:(Minicaltest: believe it or not) https://www.dropbox.com/s/kl7s1gr0znway03/2013-12-20%2016.40.50.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/7qv2bz6wahok6x8/2013-12-20%2016.41.26.3gp I think its related to the above question. So that one goes first. another issue om having regarding to leveling and the fan cover hitting the clip: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mw3keqmavz9uyoo/2013-12-20%2015.18.53.jpg Any advice on that? Allright, Thanks in advance!

Yeah Receved my tracking number!( cant seem to track it though) Can't wait!

Hello Robin, Perhaps i can advise you to see if there are local 3D hubs meeting( organized for example @ meetup.com). In Eindhoven it is often in the Fablab, however it is not always over there. Regards, Lennart

if the Filastruder soudns too ominous, at the London 3D print show there was a company called FilaFab. the rates are rather high, as off 600~700 pounds. I advised them to get funded by the plastic manufacturers, which can give them credit because of teh manufacturers "ownership of end- life plastic". If anyone in the netherlands wants to set - up an extruder project, I'm interested in hearing what the ideas are! Cheers, Lennart

Dear All, In preparing my upcoming delivery of the Ultimaker 2, I want to build an addon from 4mm acryllic plate. Because I have a cat, and I know cats can be lethal around 3D printers. Therefore i'd like to know the exact dimensions/drawings of the front screen/plate and top plate, to set up a laser cutter. My question; where can i find these drawings, and perhaps someone has already done some tinkering and advise me in making hinges. Regards, Lennart

Hey Sander, Thanks for making a list for the UM2 delivery dates. Mine will arrive somewhere between 2/12 to 8/12 so I hope it'll be enough to play with before the 3D hubs christmas event. As for ideas, can you post something about how fast a printer is produced from base parts up to boxing? I'd be interested to know. Anyway, it was good seeing you in London! Cheers, Lennart
