Had a rethink on the price overnight & have decided to drop the price to £1600. If it doesn't sell as a package I will consider splitting.

I have for sale my UM2, owned it for about 4-5mths. I have only used it half a dozen times. Also included is £400 of filament, Colorfabb & Faberdashery. Most of it is unopened, I can list out what is included if anybody is really interested in purchasing.
Asking price is £1800 would prefer to sell within the UK, however if you would like to purchase from outside the UK & are happy to arrange your own collection & delivery let me know.
I'm just not using it so being sold to fund the purchase of a Carbon road bike.

Is it recommended to level the bed again after installing the updated cura & firmware?
-
@didier there was indeed a plugin running, I can only assume that it was in a downloaded gcode file or other as it wasn't something I had knowingly setup.
Great having access to a forum such as this to glean information from as & when required.
Many thanks

@illuminarti the 30% is shown on the um2 display. I access it by going to tune during the print and increase the print speed to 100%
@didier I have increased the speed on every print from printing the skull. However the next print it goes back to 30% printer is always turned off after use. Will look at the tweak this evening when I get home from work.
-
When I first started using the UM2 what ever length of time it said in Cura was pretty much how long the item took to print.
However since printing the Terminator skull & including the skull the print times are way, way over on time. The only thing I can find is that on the UM2 display the print speed seems to be preset to 30%. I'm assuming that it should be preset to 100% ?
Am I on the right track or has some settings in Cura got changed as well?

Has anyone printed the feeder with Colourfabb XT as it says in the bio that it is stronger?

Greeting from Northern Ireland, pretty new to it all still myself.
-
@ gr5 Location updated, i'm in Northern Ireland. I currently have mostly Faberdashery & some Colourfabb was just wondering if there was any other suppliers out there worth considering.
@DonMilne the wording my not be great as i have dyslexia, I will have a look at your spectrum review. Quick check of the name shows them as being about 20 mile up the road from me in Newry so thats handy.
-
I don't know all the different brands that are available or I would have done a poll out of curiosity. If like me you have purchased than 1 brand of filament. Is there one brand in particular that you gravitate towards? Or do you base it on the item to be printed and the filament type required.

Hi Jerry, follow you on a couple of platforms. I though I liked gadgets until I started watching your unboxing videos. I need a few more zero's in my pay packet .... Lol
Welcome to the forum & good to have you onboard.

Yes, you have a loose pulley, most likely. Or possibly the short belts are catching. It looks like the inaccuracy is just in the x-axis, so double check the short belt pulley in the back right corner of the printer, and the pulleys on the long belts that run left to right.
You might also need to remove the cover over the motors in the back right corner, and double-check the tightness of the pulley that is directly on the motor shaft.
Thanks illuminarti the pulley was loose and up against the cover, a lot of swarf was left in the hole from machining thy could do with a couple of new cutters in there UM2 machine shop.

Got the cylinder print done although it has got a lean to it that can be easily seen in the pics below. From the very little I know other than that it seemed to print ok? Aperature applies some sort of profile to the images when i put them on the computer, look fine on the back of the camera turns them very blue & seems to loose some definition.
Any feedback much appreciated, assuming the bed isn't exactly level or something is slipping. Have had a couple of prints that looked like the belt had jumped a tooth all off to one side.

many thanks found an other file that is just .gcode in my downloads folder
-
for some reason when i download it on my mac the file is .gcode.txt
-
This is why it sucks to be a newbie, I have downloaded the UM2 extrusion test & can't work out how to get it to print. tried opening it in cura & tried putting it onto the sd card to see if it would read. Any and all help gratefully received.
-
My sd card came with a test print but no Robot file. Downloaded one but it was different to the ones I see on here, hands were supported from the bed not on the robot it's self.
-
Some nice tips there as a newbie, I was going to start a post ref newbie tips. Would be good to have on the site a pinned thread for newbies with all the printing tips i have seen in 1 thread. I'm spending a lot of time trying to find tips even for probs I haven't encountered yet.

After seeing Didier's owl on here last night I ordered some colourfabb woodfill fine today, as it looks fantastic.
-
On the Faberdashery loose spool stuff what way type of holder are you using? or do you just sorta hang it on the oem spool holder.
-
UM2 ordered today from Imakr, patience is not my strong point so went with them as thy had it in stock. Hopefully have it before next weekend fingers crossed, now the real problem begins.
Coming up with a way of breaking it gently to the wife ..... Lol.
-
Was anybody tempted to buy from a stockist who had them in stock so as delivery was only a few days?
-
Not good at all, I'm looking to buy one in the next couple of day and I think I will end up buying from a stockist as I would end up blowing my top over the lack of service.
Struggling to print a spinning top.

what i don't understand is why when ever people design stuff that needs supports to be printed. Support thy have used in order to print the item why thy don't upload both files. With & without support, at least you would get a better idea of what a well supported item looks like.
