  1. Hi Torgier

     

    Thanks.  I was assuming I would have to order the whole part 😞

     

    This is one of the first UM2s. I bought it not long after release date.

     

    I haven't tried removing the PT100 yet. 

     

    The fans were fine.  Intact, until I had a major blockage which caused this damage, this printer has been brilliant for years! 

     

    thanks for your help 

  2. Yeah the main tech guy there was ready to throw the machine away in frustration lol... he hadn't really heard of the Atomics...so I said "do you mind me having a go at getting it running again".  Few atomics later and a replaced bowden tube and all running fine.  His settings were pretty bad,  running some PLA`s at 220-240 degrees with a 80 degree bed etc!! :p

    Our main use is prototyping hardware for the building industry, window locks etc. Boring stuff but the UM2 is perfect for this kind of fast development.

  3. Yeah they looked pretty decent!  The program showed two um2s running full time :p

    Oh edit: I must say too.... I started a new job recently and in the main office sits an unused UM2...clogged up and not printing too well.... so, after a few days I get stuck in... now they have a fully working UM2 again :)

  4. I know what you mean cloakfiend.  I think if I was skilled at Zbrush or something similar...I would be creating awesome characters and creatures.  But...I`m rubbish at zbrush as all my creations are of the mechanical/technically minded :)

    Oh edit: cloakfiend I forgot to ask, where abouts in the UK are you?

  5. I have been doing some contract design work recently for a hardware company, they design and develop products for the window and door industry (locks, handles, letterboxes etc ).

    Today I went to a large exhibition to see a few people and visited one stand in particular....What did they have on their stand?....Only a flippin UM2 up and running printing samples :)

  6. Lol cloakfiend, so far I have resisted the temptation to just print anything. My printer lies dormant quite a bit, and only comes to life when I have something purposeful to print. Trying to resist the urge to print some pretty cool things though...which even though cool.. i know will just end up lying around collecting dust!

    Nice work peggyb!

    The amount of 3d printed JUNK in the world now, the oceans will soon be filled with decomposing Yoda`s and Star wars crap lol

     

    And Low Poly Pokemon! Those are the worst!

     

    Haha yes they are! Every day I see crap like that being printed on my facebook feed. There must be many thousands of tonnes of 3D printed junk out there now.
