  1. Got Mine Today! and already running, pretty easy to upgrade... now im testing to see whats the new behaviour, its really damn quiet, when i turned it on, i thought i forgot to connect smth, because the fan was really silent... the feeder also sounds really different than the older one, what (at least in my opinion) made me wonder is that ""racketing"" sound when loading and unloading material (is that normal?)

    im happy the surgery ended well...

    :)

  2. I just Called the Reseller in Germany, asking for an Update. they said to me they,re still waiting for a delivery from the manufacturer (ultimaker) and  we need to wait 2 weeks more (that will make a Grand total of 8 weeks)  they told me that if in 2 weeks time nothing happens, then we have to call directly to Ultimaker in Holland, and ask them WHY is taking so Long to get our Upgrades.

  3.  

    I really think the UM could have made a bit fat warning about that !  So well, other than that, printings are now excellent, under-extrusion is gone !

     

    Did you update the firmware?

     

    Im still waiting for my upgrade, i have a question, im Using Simplify3d as slicer, what do i Need to Keep in mind when uprgrading?... i mean, in the last Version of simply3d the U2+ is not in the list of suported Printers.

    to be preciseand clear: if i update the Firmware from CURA to u2+ and i still use in simplify3d U2(plain) configuration, everything will be working? or some imcompabilities will ocurr?

  4. I took note of your questions and am currently waiting for a reply which hopefully contains some more information regarding your specific order. I did hear that this week we will ship out a new batch to our EU resellers so hopefully that includes your order.

    Will get back with you once I have more information.

    Again our apologies for the inconvenience.

     

    the german reseller says they're waiting for a shipment, and the don't know when and how many kits they will be recieving, lead time now is 5 to 6 weeks... currently they don't have any, and theres no more information... is such a shame that as a costumer you don't have other options where to buy....

    Hi,

    can you give us an upate on the delivery times of the extrusion upgrade kit in Germany (and Europe)? I just talked to the (only) german reseller and they said they are expecting a delivery in mid April. They can't tell how many kits they will receive and when they are able to deliver "my" kit. I ordered immediately after receiving a newsletter saying that the kit is available (on March 9th). At that time their website stated: Delivery times 1-3 days(!). They immediately collected the money, but today (2 weeks later) they can't tell when they are able to deliver.

    I didn't like to order the kit from iGo3d (Germany) anyway because of very bad experiences with them and I would like to cancel the order. But there are obviously no other ways to buy the kit. The ultimaker webshop is gone.

     

    same Thing here, ordered the same day you did your order (march 9th) Money collected, but no kit in sight, nor even a glimpse of when the delivery can be done...

  6. Hello Forum:

    Since a few weeks im having a strange sound in my machine (U2) the sounds comes from the Upper- left - back corner of the machine (if you're seeing it frontally) its like the short has a sort of friction with the pulley (red circles) the motor is all the way down, so the belt is really tight, but it somehow tends the lean to the right. The motor Pulley (not seen in the picture) is like 1mm or less away from the steeper motor... should i replace the short belt for a new one, or theres some other stuff i need to check before?

    many thanks in advance.

  7. @esteban-pacheco: I owe you a test print like a said a while ago. Since you did not provide all print settings I printed a 25mm X 25mm x 5mm square with the following additional settings:

     

    • layer height - 0.2

    • speed - 40

     

    It looks like this:

    square.thumb.jpg.8f0c14f9036d70362c8c0250a55619e9.jpg

    Perfect surface - WTH!?!??

     

    Well well, i told you those settings are working, but is wise to raise the material flow and the temperature to those levels?

  8. I have the Olsson Block and the issue is still there. I've also changed the temperature sensor and fan shroud. The next thing would be to swap boards but my motivation is kinda low.

     

    please make a cubus (50 mm x 50 mm x 5 mm - or something similar). i also have an Olson block, i also changed the temp sensor, i also changed the heater cartridge for an 35 W and use my Settings and tellme what happens...

  9. well, theres must be a REAL solution for those that cannot return the printer and get a new one, right?

    im using this settings for a 0.35 nozzle:

    110% flow rate

    mat temp: 222 C* (Blueish White ColorFabb)

    solid infill speed at 20 to 25 mm/s

    outline speed 40 mm/s

    fan min speed 50 %

    fan mix speed 60 %

    this settings works almost all the time, but,  this issue is so erratic that from time to time, even if im printing with using the above described settings the problem just appears...  i've made many many tests, there. this issue is so frustrating...

    (i've observed that the fan speed has smth to do, its like wen using 100 % fan, the thin cord coming out of the nozzle looses quickly its temperature and theres a consequent reduction of its diameter -  but im just guessing)

  10. And to add more weirdness to the problem, check out this two pictures. On the far right, the strands do touch, on the left the don't. So the problem occurs not only for entire prints, but also mid-print...

    To me it looks like the bed changes its leveling/distance from the bed minimally.

     

    im having the same problems in here, i just turn the material flow to 110%, i ve changed all in my printer (except the build plate, the frame, and the motors :)), maybe is a design problem, i hope the ultimaker guys take notes and try to solve this...

  11.  

    If everything from the guide about this fails http://support.3dverkstan.se/article/23-a-visual-ultimaker-troubleshooting-guide

    I would try 26% since the infill pattern changes from 25 to 26 on cura (at least on old versions).

     

    The problem is that i get this effect on the bottom, solid layers as well. The printer doesn't even get to printing the infill and the surface looks just like this. I tried all the relevant things from the guide (checked the short belts, pushed the motors down, also one axle showed the "Protruding axes" effect a bit, so i fixed that, nothing helps)

     

    I have exactly the same problem here with my U2... this issues are so erratic and random, sometimes happens, sometimes don't, so i think theres a solution that fits all. when i rise the flow rate to 110% it seems to get better, but that is also not a solution, i also have changed all you can change in the printer, (and by all i mean ALL belts, nozzle, temp sensor, heater cartridge, PTFE, Stainless Coupler, bowdentube, feeder) it is quite disappointing...

  12. I had a similar problem on my UM2go but the side walls wernt touching also. They ended up requesting me to send the printer back and they will supply me with a new printer. UM will investigate what is wrong and report back.

    I had tried heaps of different things but still stayed the same. and UM gave me ini files to print and I had the same issue.

    so you mean we got an defect Batch of ultimakers? i have mine since july last year, i think is too late to send it back.... i#m having These Problems since the begining...

  13. i think is a software problem... i get better results in top layers using the new cura (15.06.03), because you can specify the line width of the top and bottom layers..

    BUT, i have noticed, theres a problem with combing, and that makes the external surfaces (shells) a little bit strange and crappy

  14. just downloaded it, and installed it, First run (with the printer on) it turned off and immediately again on... it was like blinking... and the came this error message (YOSEMITE 10.10.3)
