already done think it was flowalistik who did it ...

@daid First, thanks for sharing this. About the lift endurance tests, were the 100000 on the same core? and also the core did not show signs of wear?

Just did a quick rough measurement between the 3 and the 2 and it seems to me the 3 bed will just fit...

where you say "extruder assembly" what do you mean? the feeder? I could buy one (in loose parts) from Makerpoint. I think the idea is still that the feeder will become available as an separate assembled part. Any update @SandervG

This discussion is already going on in several threads.... so I leave the answer short here. No. There will not be a 2>3 upgrade kit

At the moment there are 2 types, one for PVA (the BB core) and one for other materials (the AA) core. Yes you can use the AA for all the types I mentioned. I have not had a clog during my beta testing. My own strategy will be to keep a separate set for PLA (low temp) and ABS (high temp) as you always have more risk of using PLA after ABS simply because of the low temp. But I will just mix ABS/CPE/Nylon/XT on the same core... And for now I'll keep the abrasive stuff for the UM2+.....

Luckily we live in a pretty free part of the world, and we can make or own decisions... you can keep on using UM2+'s there not discontinued ... do you really need to print dual extrusion on all nozzle types and sizes? And the core's are pretty flexible, I've done PLA/Nylon/CPE/ABS/XT all on the same core with no issue's....

Indeed I don't think you'd get any UM3 part right now, but in general genuane ultimaker parts are real easy to buy, you can get every single bit ... and if a part is not listed you look up the itemnumber on the BOM (on github) and you can still order it... I don't know any other company doing this so well... http://www.makerpoint.nl/nl/3d-printen/upgrades-parts/ultimaker/ultimaker-2/ *normally Ultimaker puts the design files and BOM of a machine on github 6 months after release of a machine

Unfortunately you are right about many re sellers not having all parts on there website. but at makerpoint you can put most directly in your basket http://www.makerpoint.nl/nl/3d-printen/upgrades-parts/ultimaker/

LOL

the more realistic idea would probably be a refurb kit, or even just a nozzle.... I'm pretty sure the brave and careful among us can replace a nozzle. But on the other hand most ultimakers are sold to companies, who most likely don't care about a few 100 euros for a couple of new cores

nobody EVER promised dual extrusion for the UM2+, but you may get what you want anyhow..... https://ultimaker.com/en/community/23123-made-by-the-new-ultimaker?page=2#reply-159702

Don't think that will ever happen... but a 3th party filling the hacker gap seems pretty likely...

Yes there will be, not sure when it will be released, but there's already a closed beta. I have also no idea what features they will still add, but the most important one's for me I'm sure will be in; monitoring your machine remotely (it has a build in camera) and aborting the machine when you want/need. The app needs (at least the closed beta) a connection to your local network, but it only took me a few minutes to setup a VPN on my router, so I'm live from my phone everywhere....

the spot with the red arrow in the picture is made of super thin metal... the teflon (not sure it's actually Teflon, but something similar) sits higher

I guess you don't really need all the combinations but you want to make a point... I really do like the core's (I was in the test group) they are really versatile. The temp goes to 280c. I printed PLA/ABS/CPE/NYLON all without atomic in between and had no problem. I used to print ABS on a UM2+E3Dv6, but IMHO that was a pure ABS setup, crap for PLA. This core can just do all the materials I need, so much more flexible. I personally like to keep separate sets for PLA and the stuff that needs to be printed hot like ABS. I don't want stainless steel at all, hate it, there's a new ruby nozzle coming out for the UM2, much better than stainless. I guess I save the abrasive materials for my UM2 for now, until a 3th party steps in to deliver nozzles to "refurbish" the core's.

Very nice !!

you just have to be a bit more patient for a few days.....

isn't that the case with any hobby

Ultimaker has never offered an enclosure (except in the new Advance Printing Kit thing), so yeah, this one probably doesn't have one either. luckily Ultimakers have always been square boxes, so making an enclosure is super easy.... https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ultimaker2-top-cover-clips

You need a lot more top/bottom layers. you set it to 0.4 with 0.2 layer height. So you only print 2 top layers, thats not enough for a smooth surface, you need minimal 6, so 6 x 0.2 = 1.2 mm top/bottom layers, some people prefer even more.... And check you cooling, I assume you print PLA? set your fans too 100% And check here for some additional support, have a look at the trouble shooting guide. http://support.3dverkstan.se/

You can also use the motor of the um2.... but then you need to double the e-steps... which you can do easily if you use the tinkergnome firmware.

Here you go....

The heater cables can be in any order, they have no polarity. Yes you can just take the heater you still have from the UM2, they are the same.
