Hi, can anyone advice me on where on getting a UM2 main board for replacement. Ultimaker point me to this web shop http://inted.sg/accessories/ which sell non. If I need to order from this shop and wait for the shop to order from Ultimaker, imagine how much time I need to wait for replacement to happen. Can anyone please advice? Thank you.

HI
Does cura 2.1.3 still able to use the pause at height Plugins. If yes, where do I find it? Thanks.
-
Yes, thank you gr5. you been great help. I am using it now till the regular Marlin rectify on this issue update is out. I did find some inconsistent on the display of the selection on material. But its still works well, And can set the temperature to higher then 100C. But will still hope the regular Marlin for Ultimaker on this issue will be rectify soon and more user like me can buy and use Ultimaker out of the box. Thanks again@printedman - I confirmed that the tinker marlin lets you go up well above 100C. 115C at least. It's much better than regular Marlin. It has all the same look and feel and features but shows you more of what is happening during a print and has lots of great new features like continuing a failed print. Hundreds of people use it. So no reason to wait:

Thank you. Hope we don't have to wait too long.I did some asking around and I understand this was changed due to some safety regulations for the US. It should be changed again in a later firmware update where we have found a different way to pass the test. Hopefully this helps.

Ultimaker ABS white. I have been using hairspray all along with Ultimaker 2 . I try glue today but it did not work. I don't like ABS slurry as the smell is too strong for me and messy. I do not understand why the limit of 100C for the new firmware. It work so well at 105-110C. If Ultimaker expect user to hunt around for firmware to work with the machine. How can Ultimaker say its machine is ready for use out of the box. Now after upgrading with the kits to Ultimaker 2+, I have a machine hanging and work stop. Please assist. Thank you.Ultimaker continuous to support ABS of course. Did you use Ultimaker ABS or from a different brand? As an alternative to a higher temperature, have you ever tried an ABS slurry or a different type of adhesive?

From all my previous use on Ultimaker 2, ABS need bed temperature of 105-110C . Now firmware from Cura come with maximum bed temperature of 100C. So can I say Ultimaker and Cura will no longer support ABS printing?
-
Its still not sticking after all setting and glue or hairspray. The only issue now is I can't set the bed above 100C, its the max I can set. Before upgrade to UM2+, I was able to set to more then 100C. Please advice. Thank you.

It work, I level it till the nozzle is touching on the bed. When I pull out the card I can hear the nozzle hit the bed. But the print is still not sticking well on the bed. I upload a video here. Thanks
Yea, leveling guide and all that, it doesn't matter. It's a pay
sical problem. Ofc there must be something different since um2 calculates a 0.1mm gap (the same as the calibration card). So, just turn the wheels until the filament sticks to the bed. Turn the 3 onthefly and try to turn them the same amount. I bet it's just 1/3 turn on each one.
Or do the oposite, use the calibration assistant but don't use the card, just make it so the nozzle almost touch the bed.
The point it's, you need the bed closer to the nozzle, by firmware recalibration or physically turning the wheels.
-
That was done at the levelling stage, which I did before the print. If you are referring to the gap at the start of printing. I do not understand why its that big gap too.
That looks like the 3 wheels under the bed need some some counterclockwise/clockwise (I always forget the direction to pull up or down XD) turns so the bed it's closer to the nozzle. Print a flat area, also, pick up the drill with a tweezers so it isn't just dragged away and you can keep an eye to what sticks or doesn't.

Well there are only 3 possibilities that I can think of:
1) When you levelled somehow it didn't save the new z home position.
I did level a few time.
Reinstall Cura 15.04.5 and update the firmware on UM2+
Level plate after reinstall.
2) Something is wrong with your gcode (this happens to me all the time - more later)
I test a few file, check layer view and slice for Ultimaker 2+ with the reinstall Cura 15.04.5
(3) z endstop problems or other hardware issues
Image show the Z switch position and reading after I did a home from Pronterface.
Video showing the last testing.
Please advice. Thanks
-
The file you are trying to print, is that also sliced for an Ultimaker 2+ or for an Ultimaker 2?
Just did a new slice file with the cura 15.04.6 that install the UM2+. Result same. Please assist. Thanks.

Have you changed the type of printer in CURA and reflash the printer with the correct firmware ?
Yes, if not then the filament feeder will not run correctly. Please advice, thanks.

After doing bed levelling. Test print but the head is not touching the bed. Its stay about a few mm off the bed. Please advice, anyone. Thank you.
-
Thanks for the reply. I have upgrade the firmware to 15.04.06. Well the problem is my mistake, I did not choose to "Add new machine" and select Ultimaker 2+. So now the loading is normal again. But now a new issue is up. After doing bed levelling. Test print and the head is now not touching the bed. Its stay abt a few mm off the bed. What have I done wrong this time? Please advice, anyone. Thank you.

Good work Team Ultimaker. Hope the Extrusion upgrade can be available asap. What about the geared feeder and glass clip? Upgrade able? Available for upgrade too? Thanks Team Ultimaker for your hardwork.

Work with 2 same kind of materials, possible. But 2 different kind of materials may not work.

You need a CAD program to do it. Or Photoshop CC can too. :mrgreen:

I face that problem before too. :mrgreen:
