curious to see your result.I have lots of HT so I think I will try to replicate this.

Spoke to a guy who owned a leapfrog recently..... used the undercariage of the machine to make a table

I'm running a e3dv6 on an UM2, here's some more info on my settings, I upgraded to a 40W heater to get more stable results.

is there a list somewhere with changes? bugs fixed?

To give you an idea on the resistance I just put a super cheap multi meter on the part:
The results for the 3 lines;
line 35mm x 2mm x 0,27mm : 12.7 K
line 35mm x 2mm x 0,68mm : 4.2 K
line 35mm x 2mm x 1,40mm : 2.3 K

I tried it, only once, I still have something left from the sample so if you need to know anything specific ?

Just playing around... in the true sense of filling every niche, like in automotive..... the UM2GOextended.... who knows, I may attempt building one someday

If you want to check it's pretty easy to take out the xy rods, and roll them on a flat surface to check....
If you need instructions you can use the upgrade kid manual;

Spaceclaim can deal with (some..) STL and all rsdoc, so it can be used to f.e output a .step from a rsdoc. but a legal copy is pretty expensive.
The best free option that outputs many formats a.o. step is Fusion360 (free for makers and small business i believe).

No.
My best guess it's a e3d big box.

If you just Google "github ultimaker" all the files are there. The assembly step files, the bom, the dxf for each pannel. I posted all links in another thread some were yesterday....
If you have trouble downloading use the zip button on the github page to download all files...

one could also say you thought of it a bit late
just kidding... the whole makerbot story is just so sad.. I guess soon all that's left of them is a patent troll ...

since yesterday, got a few times an error on posting a reply, where every time only the 2th attempt resulted in actually posting...

here's some more... I also once saw a video of a bed moving on a conveyor between multiple printers, but can't find it anymore...

I have no experience with light pipes..... but did you see this ?

I'm a fan of Colorfabb also, but specially there PLA's ..
Easy is relative... yes the nGen is nice, I like it for small statues and stuff, but for bigger practical parts it's not so easy as it shrinks a lot more than PLA (I think more like ABS) so for bigger parts that can be an issue (if I have to deal with it anyhow I just use ABS)
Also XT, I just stopped using it, had to much issues with layer bonding and the parts getting brittle. If I need a part to withstand a higher temperature I just use ABS.
Speaking of higher temperature, the more interesting material is Biofilla PLA-tec (http://www.two-bears.eu/)

I guess a good solid structure is the base of a good printer, so I would want to use the correct parts....
If you'r in the US try getting the parts from http://fbrc8.com/ (the US assembly partner of Ultimaker).
I general, to know which part goes where the .step files of the models are the best....
here you find the assembly step for the UM2 and the UMO (yeah the last one should probably not be there...) the DXF files of the panels are also available....
https://github.com/Ultimaker/Ultimaker2
and the GO
https://github.com/Ultimaker/Ultimaker2Go/tree/master/3D%20model
and the extended
https://github.com/Ultimaker/Ultimaker2Extended/tree/master/3D%20model
The step file assemblies contain the part-numbers, that correspond with the BOM and the pdf/DXF/Step files
If you don't have software that loads .step files try Design Spark Mechanical, or Autodesk Fusion 360 (cloud) both are free.

So brave to start from scratch
I really needed the arms to be able to add some weight, and adjust the weight front/back till I found a point where the thing walked.... without a bit more weight to the back mine fell over all the time....
So what to do next ? give the poor thing some arms and a head

Still plenty time to mill a bot out of aluminium

just played around a bit with the fuzzy skin using refill pet, to create a diffuser to be used in a lamp.... works pretty nice. The photo is poor because of the frequency of the light.... it's actually nicely diffused....

@ultiarjan: no trial and error needed, see the message above yours.
You'll have to agree that the number of people who use a UM2 with Octoprint is quite a bit lower than the number of people who use the UM2 as is. Now it looks like I'll be getting a UM2 at "home", and I really like Octoprint with my UMO, so I may try to find some spare time to do cool stuff with Octoprint with Cura 2. Don't hold your breath though.
Actually my reason for wanting machine settings back is not about octoprint.... but more about f.e the ability to change the dimensions of the head..... yes many people still experiment.....
-
what software do you use? (CAD / CAM) any good tips/sources on feeds and speeds?
-
Machine settings missing!
As I use Octoprint for my UM2 - I need to change the Reprap flavour to "RepRap (Marlin/Sprinter)" - seems there is no way to that any more. :-(
Please add the machine setting dialog or at least have a way to import custom machine settings!
totally agree !
for now you can do some of this by changing the .json file ( C:\Program Files\Cura 2.1\resources\machines ) just trial and error to see what works and what not. Made some changes myself that resulted in changes in the GUI, but not functional (set the temp in cura for UM2)
For the UM2 the gcode flavour is somewhere around line 70 ....
the only thing it was good for ....

Spend some time this weekend at the Radboud University Hospital to help a team in the "Hacking Health Nijmegen" event. The team was focusing on improving orthopedic shoes, I supported making a 'prototype of a prototype' by scanning a guy's foot...
The whole thing is in the idea phase but we did win one of the prizes, being support hours from a professional in the field, so a pretty nice outcome for the guy who took this initiative. If you have any expertise in orthopedic shoe design I can bring you into contact with him....
