  1. after changing my nozzle/heater many times on the UM2 there's no copper grease in there anymore, I assume it's probably a good idea to put some there... can I just use any type? any suggestions on the brand or type (I'm in the Netherlands)...

  2. I would advice not to use the standard feeder for this. When you pull the fillament out a long strand of plastics will often stay behind in your bowden, or worse you end up with bits of plastic in your feeder.

    It's (IMHO) way better to use a feeder you can open and clean ... here's some links ....

  3. I think it's nice to try to minimize the need for additional parts, but it seems like a good idea to just adapt this fan bracket to your needs.

    just lower it 4.4 mm and make the hole for the nozzle a bit larger, as long as you'r using a single nozzle its a good idea anyhow (IMHO)...

    Any change you'll share the complete drawing, including the way you changed the setscrew so I can find a machineshop to make one for me?

     

  4. Yes. I think it does. Did a before and after ultibot... with this fan setup the right ear was clearly better... this thing is more symmetrical.

    And its more silent. Had some vibration noise on the metal one.. could not realy get some screws fixed properly... but ill save it ofcourse incase we someday get a dual nozzle setup ;)
