  1. Here is a drawing of my station that I am building. The printer builds the profiles that I need for the construction.

     

    Station

    I don't use the printer for everything. The design is 'stolen' from lehrter bahnhof in Berlin.I adapt it to my needs and possibilities.

    It will take a long time before it will be finished. First I need to build the raw structure and then the details which will take years. Currently I started on 1 of the 2 buildings.

     

  2. Printing is fine again. I went to 220 degrees (PLA) with the added sunflower oil. Under extrusion is solved. I also increased the flow a little to 104% since I had little holes where large areas needed to be filled in. The oil prevents the sticking to the heatsink. How long will the oil hold that is the big unknown. Up to now it is running 6 hours without issues.

     

  3. I have put some sunflower oil in the hotend and will see if it will bring something. Manually I think it is a little better but I have to see how it behaves in the long run. I can't print tonight though since one of the kids want to sleep and an UMO does make some sound.

    No I have not printed with XT yet. I don't have a object that would require it at this moment though I have XT laying around.

     

  4. De brim zal dan niet optimaal zijn maar de zijkanten worden dan wel ondersteunt. Dit zal mogelijk toch iets doen aan wrapping. Is misschien een mogelijkheid als de ventilator tunning niet helpt.

    Kan je nog iets winnen met adhesion? Pritstift of heb je die al gebruikt. Ik zie bij mij dat de prit laag meestal maar een paar prints meegaat. Sommige mensen hebben daar meer geluk...

     

  5. I have some under extrusion issues printing with colorfabb grey PLA on the e3d v6. The colorfabb filament has some textured surface and this is causing friction in the aluminum heatsink. After doing quite some prints with this filament the filament is more bent and it looks like it is pressing against the walls of the heatsink. Due to the surface it causes quite some friction. I can clearly feel it when I insert filament by hand. I have the hotend cold and I can push the filament to the nozzle but it does not go smoothly down. This extra friction I believe causes under extrusion or grinding on the extruder. The nozzle is clean I can see right true and when I remove extruded filament atomic way it is clean and the nozzle is clearly visible in the filament.

     

  6. Printing metal would be a no no. You can print with PLA with a high degree of bronz like bronzfill or metalfill. The object is still PLA but it has more the looks of metal after post processing. It does not conduct electricity.

     

  7. You split your design per color and slice the colors separately. Then you print each color. In these prints the colors are only the bottom layer + maybe 1 additional layer. You print the last overlapping color to the full thickness. In this way you can create multiple colors on only 1 side of the object (the bottom). For badges or other small flat objects this works well. When you use a heated bed you have to make sure that the bed does not cool-down when changing the color otherwise your object will come loose.

     

  8. I am sorry that I was not able to come. My son prevented me from doing so by landing in the hospital this morning. So I spend the whole day in the hospital and only in the evening we were able to come home. So no ulti evening for me this time :oops: Fortunately we have been able to prevent permanent damage and my son will recover soon. This was a tiring day....

     

  9. Waarom zou je het bed willen verwarmen bij het levelen? Gaat toch ook prima koud?

    Zonder bottom eindstop heb je software protectie. Deze kan je altijd in de war brengen als je wil... Als dat gebeurd dan zal de motor vast lopen en stappen skippen. Maakt een vreselijk kabaal. Als mij dat gebeurd gooi ik snel de printer uit en daarna ga je gewoon verder of er niets gebeurd is. Het UM design kan gelukkig wat klappen hebben zonder schade op te lopen.

     

  10. So from what I can deduce from the information. The Ubis uses a thermistor for temperature readout since you are using a 4k7 pullup resistor. If the temperature wires make a short the temperature readout will be very high or error. If the wires are open then the readout would be 0 or error. In your case you claim they read 130. That is very odd... Did you make a short between the thermistor wires and the hotend? Now it depens on how the hotend is connected to your UM board, I can't say anything about that. A short between the 19V and the thermistor input could damage your microcontroller input circuit. The only advise I can give is start measuring the voltages on the inputs of the UMO board. Given the 130 degrees and the reset behavior you described I think something happened between the UMO inputs for the temperature input and your hotend output. If your are 100% sure the thermistor is ok and connected correctly and still have wrong values you could try the second temperature sensor readout and build a Marlin to experiment with that if your AD converter in the microcontroller is permanently damaged.

     

  11. I would expect that it is also possible on the UM2. Order some length of rod and cut it to the right length is not the problem. You will have to look into the motor mount that is used for the UMO. It very likely needs some modification before it fits on the UM2. That is the pioneer work that needs to be done. Can't say how difficult it is but given the fact that I will go to the meeting on Monday I can have a look at the UM2 design. My UMO has this modification.

     

  12. You can level very precise but the exact height still depends on the nozzle temperature as well. With temperature the nozzle expands. That is why the piece of paper (0.1mm) room must be there so that at print temperature the nozzle touches the bed. So your tool is probably too exact for this. I guess your CNC machine does not have that temperature limitation.
