Very curious about the end result!

Yeah those are really coiled up tight... almost to the point of being unusable because they require so much force to unroll that the feeder has a very hard time.

Oh snap... *silently retreats and hides*

Hahaha @Daid... Perhaps I should buy me one of those as a second printer then Didier its true.. I just went to pick up a bigger package in the postal office (about 50cmx70cmx30cm) and it looked like it had been someone's couch for 3 weeks... someone very heavy.

At least we know there now is one model you can order of which you can be pretty certain it won't arrive with damage (sorry, couldn't resist)

Nicolinux couldn't agree more on all your statements. When I saw the bigger buildspace was Z only I lost my interest right away.

... I guess it's a thing now https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/chocolate-3d-printer

If you mean the arc on top on where the 3 pictures are next to each other? I think that's a photoshop booboo, they wiped away a bit too much while erasing the background. But nice catch

Nallath what does 5+ mean? You have 5 and a piece of a developer? Or just 5 really good ( + ) ones?

My thoughts exactly Would've surprised me I they'd release another printer with dual extrusion first before the UM2 gets a kit. Followed by the UMO+

Can you guys provide an invoice for companies (from Belgium)

Lol that'll teach them posting a teaser in HD

Daid... I really get the idea behind the pitch. To be honest: that argument was one of the points that convinced me as a complete n00b to go for a UM2. (So it works) But in all fairness: once you get beyond the "printing the pre-sliced um robot on the sd card", you are in for a world of hurt. Trust me, I speak from experience. Basically about 15 minutes after the package comes of, the entire sales pitch turns out to be a big lie and disappointment. The illusion only remains if you have someone that pre-slices everything for you and maintains your printer. So given the complexity of the matter (at this point), we are all forced to "grow up" extremely fast, "wannabe simple or not". So, just like you can do with Cura - once you feel comfortable - it should be possible to put the printer in "beyond novice" mode too. Because imo providing people with a printer that allows for more professional handling is as least as important as having a dummy mode on it. The dummy period will be a lot shorter than the novice/pro one Trying to appeal to a bigger audience is IMHO a very short term vision, you want to keep your customers beyond that too. Making it seem simple only works for so long. Just my $0.02:)

If its a bigger one, hope it at least uses a lot of the same components. I could do with a bigger build volume, but being able to order spare parts and use it on both UMs would be an added bonus.

dirkdirk... Measure it That's what I did to make sure the piece would fit! From the bottom of the nozzle onto the buildplate at its lowest. Just make sure to have some spare room as - at the end of the print - the plate will always rise about 1cm and go back down before it homes apparently.

I asked Daid personally if there was a chance we would get the same information display that the UMO has. The lack of information during printing annoys me to bits. The reply was amongst the lines of "no" and "you should just install the hacked version". I refuse because they are always behind the current master. To that the reply was that I should just do a merge with the head version myself.

Anyhow... just printed the piece at full height (210mm) and I had about a cm of Z to spare.

Thought it might come in handy for some people

Shurik, it's from thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:244500

I always love those practical prints! Need to keep that in mind I usually give my grandparents a bouquet for new year (today), but since this is the first year I have my printer I decided to go a bit different about it The faces were done via the pause at z plugin and changing the filament at that point. They are in glow in the dark. So the last layer of the face and the eyes/mouth glow when the lights are of. Very nice effect but a bit creepy

Will the machine physically get to 210mm? As in: Is there a safety margin involved? Or is the extreme limit really 205mm... I could print the piece at 205, but the full piece would be a lot better obviously

The code that determines whether an object will fit for printing seems to ignore the "cut off bottom" value. I am trying to print an object that is 210mm high on an UM2, which has 205mm as maximum height. I can cut of whatever I want from the bottom, it still shows as non-printable. It's not exceeding maximum directions in either X or Y.

Ja ik wil ook nog altijd dat stuk printen dat "te groot" is en weet nog altijd niet goed wat ik ermee moet aanvangen.

Sander da's goed voor mij. Zal dan normaal wel ongeplooid aankomen

Titus ja dat is toch het plan.
