  1. Just thinking about the gui. Can imagine that different objects or areas of objects get a different color and the settings that can be set per object get the color of the selected object as background color so you know what your working on.

    And maybe a "default on" mark to alter settings for all objects...

    @daid: relax, greatfull for every improvement I get. Already very happy with cura. Is there a public development roadmap for cura? So we dont ask for stuff already somewhere in the planning...

  2. I like the idea of graphical interfacing to make changes a lot. Works also very good in f.e. photoshop (lightroom) but its probably very difficult to realise.

    I would also love to have the ability to use various infills in a part but would not mind preparing in CAD. Maybe a bit like the use of combining a part for dual head print... although for structural quality in this case the walls would of course need to be printed at once.

    Maybe a lot easier i would also like to be able to set the main settings like fill/speed etc separately for multiple items i print at the same time. Basically just like you now select an item for scalling or rotation i would like to be able to change all settings per part on the bed.

  3. Can anybody please tell me WHICH connector from JST is used for the fans? I guess it's the same everywhere a fan is connected or pluged in, independent of the UM model, isn't it? But there are quite some different series from JST (PH, XH, ....)

     

     

    In general when you need to now details on components its easy to start looking at the design file (STEP) of the UM2

     

    ( https://github.com/Ultimaker/Ultimaker2/blob/master/Assembly%20UM2%20stepfile.STEP )

     

    You can open the STEP in Design Spark Mechanical, and even modify it ( using this trick > http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/2772-spaceclaim/page-3#entry53816 )

     

    You can look into the STEP file to find the partnumber of the part you'r interested in. When you then look at the PDF of the partnumber (also on github) you can sometimes find additional info.

     

    In the case of your connector question, the drawing of the fan (part 1330) does not contain this info, but if you look at the other cooling fans (B1313-ZIP-A) you'll see its a JST XHP-2 (they look the same to me...)

     

  4. I made some progress, got inspiration from the "DIN rails" as used to mount breakers and stuff into electrical cabinets.

    So I designed a back plate, out of 3 parts to mount on the back of the UM2, which will give you 4 rails to mount stuff on.

    I like the idea of being able to move the spoolholder(s) from left to right, so if you change color while printing you can move the spool under the feeder. Will also be usefull when we get to dual feeder someday... or experiment with "paste struders" etc....

    here's a pic of one of 3 parts (the right bottom part) , it has a left and right bottom part and a middle top part, mounted to the holes of the feeder motors, and a specially made bracket to fit into the originally spool holder holes, on top I will still need to make a clamb for the top part of the UM2 (or fix to 2 existing UM2 screws, not sure jet)

     

    backplate

     

    Not shure if I'll be able to share and publish before I go on holiday in a few day's ;)

     

    Obviously you could also use the components I made separately, It will be simple to make a holder for the "compact spool holder" to fit the "normal" UM2 location.
