I belive it is #9472, Feeder UM2+UM2xtd+ Assembly (just checked the UM2+ photobook)

It should be attached to the machine for the full duration of the print and not be removed.

What TPU are you using? The Ultimaker TPU95A works pretty well to print, you just have to take it a bit slower.

Ah, you still have a _very old_ UMO with the 8mm rods (it was changed a long time ago, long before the UMO+)... Instead of retrofitting those bearings to a UM2 head i would suggest to get a pair of the newer 6mm rods and using the bearings from the UM2 print head instead, it makes the whole gantry lighter and nicer.

@neotko, totally did not see your question the other day, do you still want that step file? I can of course send it to you :-)

Yep, it is that expensive...

about 20min

I believe this is incorrect, the printers we have received does only have one AA installed and a AA and a BB in the Accessory box, and it asks you to insert the BB during the initial start up guide.

They will be available, at least for distributors, in november from 3DVerkstan.

Yes @daid, but that part would not be advisable to remove to save weight

I have not measured the spacing, but that kind of connector is usually named "battery connector", and if the spacing between the pads are 2.3mm this one should fit: http://uk.farnell.com/avx-interconnect/9155005003016/connector-battery-5-pos-2-3mm/dp/9728449

It is a M3 screw, so 0.5mm/turn

Next time, ask your reseller to buy the TFM and the rigid spacer of the UM2+, and you could easily change that replacement cycle to 1000h or more.

The only way to get around that... is to snipe yourself *hint* http://www.bidnip.com/ *hint* ^_^

@nerdwarrior: It would really not make a huge difference, the "probe" you possibly could remove is just a small PCB which probably weighs 1 gram or so.

SLA is great if you need detail or/and a very nice surface finish i would say, it is very messy tough... i had a Form1+ before but almost never used it since it was too much work to be worth it for the stuff i do. I like SLS printed parts for not having to dissolve a support material, their greater isotropy and the surface finish that makes layer lines pretty invisible and looks professional :-)

So, what kind of camera port is used @nallath? :-)

SLS would be even more interesting than SLA, i agree, but it is also even more complicated.

1600 x 1200px with better color rendition and better optics, or the sensor from the smartphone in my pocket, 4:3 with 4032 x 3024px resolution would be nice (the last one would probably increase the price quite a bit tough...) Something like this would be nice:

Well, i don't think it is going to happen, but if i could get a Ultimaker Open Source SLA that were at least as good as a Form2, i would get it instantly ^_^

Why would you use 14.09? It is a pretty old version... Better upgrade to a later version? But if you really want that specific version, you can find it here: http://software.ultimaker.com/old/

The power supply for the printer is rated 220W, the spec sheet (http://www.meanwell.com/productPdf.aspx?i=538) says that the max typical AC current is about 2A, so i would suggest you look at a unit that can take 500VA or more.

It they did a upgrade kit from UM2 to UM3 it would most certainly not be 500$-1000$... (the UM2+ upgrade kit is 500$, and this upgrade would be substantially more), it would be more along the lines of 2500$ i would guess since so many parts have changed, and it would be a very time consuming install. I would suggest that you sell your UM2 and get a UM3 instead if you want good dual extrusion.

You can not. the construction of the print core makes it pretty hard to do without damaging the print core and getting it assembled right, also it does not use E3D-style nozzles like the Olsson block, but a longer nozzle with finer threads that go all the way trough the block and ends in a stainless heatbreak.

@rasputin: Honestly the bullshit comment might have been over the top, sorry about that everyone, but i was just so tired after reading so many comments about Ultimaker promising dual extrusion (mostly on facebook), that when @CCA1 kept insisting on that there were lots of information that said the UM2+ would get dual extrusion when he bought it, while in reality there were only some threads here on the forum with people talking about dual extrusion and a official statement more than a year before the release of the UM2+ clearly stating there would be none, i got quite a bit annoyed. I can see why people are annoyed since Ultimaker has been great at releasing upgrades and giving people upgrade paths before, and the fact that it was communicated that the UM2 would get dual extrusion in the future between its release 09/2013 and 01/2015, but the many comments here (and even more on Social Media) are just crazy... I can absolutely agree with you about the timeframe, i honestly was very surprised that they started just over a week before the launch, 3-4 weeks would have been much better in many ways.
