  1. 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 anyone recommend a deeper dive into maintenance and refurbishing? I don't mind replacing any parts if needed.

  2. 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?

  3. I'll be at the new york city launch.  Look for tweets with #ultimaker and #umlaunch October 18 (tomorrow) at 11am new york time or 17:00 Netherlands time.  Of course before then I assume everyone will know "everything".

     

    Where is the NYC launch Party at?

  4. 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.

  5. A few things;

    Where are the different views, X-ray, Transparency and Overhang?

    I see the Overhang view option in preferences but overhang indication will not appear unless you have "Enable Support selected".

    How do you know if you need support if you don't see any overhang indications?

    Where is the nozzle size selection, the new options are very confusing.

    Please bring back the mm^3 per second indicator under the print speed box, that was super helpful.

  6. If points are to be an indication of how active and helpful a member is, giving 100 points for every year someone has been a member skews that purpose.

    example: I have have been a member for only 1 year and have 44 posts, I'm at level 13 with 178 points.

    There are many members that have only posted 5 times but are at level 21 with 405 points because their join date was 2012. There is a good chance they are no longer active in the community.

    the numbers have no meaning unless you post several hundred times a year.
