Hi, I live in the U.S. and would like to purchase an Ultimaker 2, but have a few questions and concerns first.
1. Will the lead time for the printer arriving really be 6-8weeks if I order from Ultimaker?
2. Is there any distributor (affiliated or not afflilated with Ultimaker) in the U.S. that I could buy from or order parts in the future from?
3. If my printer breaks, it it feasible to get parts locally and fix it myself, or must I ship the printer back to Europe to be repaired?
I'd really like to buy an Ultimaker 2, I'm just a little worried that if it breaks, I won't be able to fix it and there will be no repair shop in the country to help me.
Some background: I am an engineering student and have had some experience with fixing mechanical and electrical things, but never 3D printers.
Thanks so much!
Missing End Stop
in UltiMaker 3D printers
Posted
Every time the head on my Ultimaker 2 returns to the home position in the back corner, it grinds as the belts stutter to try and push it farther. This has occurred ever since I received my Ultimaker 2. From reading threads of others with this problem, I thought it may be that the end stops that trigger the head to stop may be malfunctioning. After examining my Ultimaker 2, I found that the metal switch on the end stop in the x direction is not even there. I have included a picture to show this.
Can I send away for this part from Ultimaker since it was never included in the printer I received? How would I do this? Is it easy to install it myself?
Thanks
