UM2 makes rattling sound when moving on X axis
gothampixel replied to martin-van-wezel's topic in Ultimaker 3D printers
I'm having a very similar issue but the creaking sound appears to be coming from the stepper on the left side which controls movement on the Y axis. Over all my U2 is printing well but considerably much louder than it has ever been and It sounds like a creaking floorboard in an old house. I'm concerned this will lead to serious problem later. someone recently posted a topic about what kind of general maintenance is needed on these machines. The response given was that oil on the rods and grease on the z screw was all that is really ever needed but for those of us with older machines can an -
how long has search been down? I just started having some issues and need to search on a few more things. I hate posting new topics when the answers are already in here somewhere.

Nylon gear slipping along the shaft of new UM2+ feeder.
gothampixel replied to MajorKoos's topic in Ultimaker 3D printers
Is there an official part replacement for this issue? The upgrade kit wasn't cheap and it seems inevitable it will happen to everyone. Super glue and hope doesn't sit well with me. -
Anyone else having a problem with the search function on this site? It doesn't work at all for me across different computers and browsers. A ran into an issue where I was getting under extrusion because the nylon gear on the feeder stepper moved to the tip of the axle where it starts to slip. I pushed it back and it ran fine but now my confidence on running long prints is shot. This is a pretty big flaw in the design of the upgrade kit, is there a replacement part available?

U2 Extended upgrade to +
gothampixel replied to CHIPBART's topic in Third party products & modifications
just did the upgrade, a bit daunting but I got through it. I forgot to do the Firmware upgrade when I was done and the new feeder motor was reversed. Updated and it's working beautifully. -

Upgrade your Ultimaker 2 with the Extrusion upgrade
gothampixel replied to SandervG's topic in Ultimaker 3D printers
what are the US distribution channels for the Upgrade kit? -
Still confused, not counting beta releases can someone explain the version numbers that identify where the new Cura begins and where the old Cura was at the time new Cura was released . Is the old Cura still getting updates? do they get updated version numbers? When the new Cura was released it was missing too many features on the Mac version and the PC version wouldn't install at all for me so I have been using the old version. I would like to check in to see if any progress has been made but I don't understand the version designations.

Sharing some exciting news: the Ultimaker 2+
gothampixel replied to SandervG's topic in Official news
I was hoping they would upgrade the design to center the nozzle which would increase build volume and provide even cooling. The offset nozzle don't make sense if dual extrusion is never being implemented. -
I have been testing out Sculpt Nouveau patina's on a large Bronzefill piece i'm working on and came across this video on how to turn any material you print into a metallic part that can then take a patina. Also the tip about using Abranet is interesting, I'm going to give that a try. http://www.kevincaron.com/video_detail.php?id=331

Cura 15.06 / 15.04: Spiralized Vase, Stutter Scar
gothampixel replied to lars86's topic in Ultimaker Cura
I would be so happy if this was something that could be fixed. I never understood why Spiralize would have a Z scar as it's slowly increasing the z height the whole time. I gave up on this feature because of the scar.
