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

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?
-
From the Photo i can just tell that there is just 1 bowden so it would be quite a wonder if there would be a second extruder.
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
-
Blizz - lovely bouquet! Any chance of sharing it perhaps? :wink: I would print the "smile" parts separately and then glue them to the place, for the simplicity.
Shurik, it's from thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:244500

Nice fridge enhancement for the stacked yoghurts.
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.
-
Sander, bedankt voor de snelle reactie...
Ik kan echt niet geloven dat er voor materiaal van deze prijsklasse gebruik gemaakt wordt van enveloppes, al dan niet gewatteerd...
De plooi die je in het bed ziet is de omranding van de spoel filament die ik besteld had. (die dus ook gewoon in dezelfde enveloppe zat)
Ik weet niet wat de inpakkers daar denken als ze met zo'n dingen bezig zijn. Frustrerend is dit zeg.
-
Aangekomen intussen... Met veel enthousiasme het pak openen, want eindelijk weer printen...
Het enthousiasme was snel weg:
Ultimaker.... Ik heb het GEHAD gewoon. Dit is niet de eerste keer dat jullie me nieuwe stukken opsturen in zo'n crappy verpakking dat het materiaal beschadigd wordt onderweg. Mijn vervang ventilator-kit vorige keer ook! Zo duur en ZO WEINIG zorg, ongelooflijk!
-
Very curious about this one too.... Although getting the replacement pieces for my printer would be even nicer at this point
-
Perfect excuse to visit Norway... Unfortunately the wife said no, it's too far away from Belgium

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)
