Yes there are other printers like Raise3d But the overall quality of the printers are no way near the UM.
Its easy to wack dual extruders on a printer but its hard to make it work well and this is why UM stopped development on the UM2 because they wanted to keep the same print quality as a single extruder machine.
Bigger print volume would be nice though.

You resolve the problem by installing the latest version of Cura which is 2.3

I think I will become a hamster seller.
$3 a hamster with a 50% discount if you buy 10.
So if my half asleep brain is right I should make $50,478,242,617.455 per printer.

It's great see that there are user adjustable machine settings when you add a UM2go in CURA 2.3
Could you also allow those of us who have installed an Olsson block to add the Nozzle & Material section to the settings tree.

I thought Makerbot changed their name to Zortax

Pixie dust?

Well that's ok then.
I would have preferred methanol with nitro methane.

So it runs on electricity then. Not impressed.

I had the same issues and gave up trying to use it. I found that vapor treating is faster and has a lot better results.

Have you been able to get it to work without the heated bed?
What is the quality like in this case?

Would be nice to be able to use the forum on the app. Something more like WhatsApp where you get phone notifications for new replies on topics you following rather then emails.

You can use either. The glass fiber is just more accurate due to how it's manufacturered and it doesn't matter what wattage heater is pared with it.

Just check the filament to see if it has good indentations from the feeder (about 2 pyramid indent shapes made by side)
Do an atomic pull and make sure the nozzle is clean.
Next step would be to check the PTFE coupler. For the old UM2 this can sometimes only last 500 hours depending on the material you print with.
There are guides how to check it and change it in the support section of the website.
If it needs changing then then I would make sure you change it with a TFM coupler from a Ultimaker reseller or TFT coupler from 3dsolex as these can last 2000 hours.

You may not need the treaded standoff 1971.
Depends how you will mount the feeder. This is threaded insert for mounting the feeder if you drill holes in the printer back panel.
Sounds good that you have a plan.
-
What speed is you outer and inner walls printed at.
There are lots of different speeds that can be adjusted. Try to make the outer wall speed, inner wall speed , print speed and infill speed the same.
Your PTFE maybe starting to get deformed but it your outer walls are printing fine then you should be able to get it to print well.

You shouldn't need to keep replacing them. Maybe just replace the grub screw. You could replace it with a black high tensile grub screw that you will be able to tighten it more without damaging the Allen key socket.
I would recommend getting the upgrade kit to the new feeder which won't have this problem. If you can't afford the whole kit you could just contact your reseller and get just the new feeder or buy the bontech extruder. They are both a lot better then the original feeder.

I get the problem on Android chrome, windows 10 chrome. Only one tab open.

I will try to point out an example when I see one.
When I check the bell and click on a unread link, it takes me to the top of the page where the new post is and their is no blue line saying unread posts With the new posts underneath. So I have to note how many new replies when I look at the bell drop down menu to know how many new posts I need to look for at the bottom of the page.
-
yep that is probably the easiest option.

Looks like you need a new temp sensor.
It may work if you push it back in but this is not advisable and may cause you hot end to overheat.
-
Yes you can unclip the x / y axis rods from the black holders that connect the axis rod to the belts, just rotate them till the unclip. Then the whole head comes off. You can slide the rods out and hold the head in your hand.
You can the go in the menu and select move material and rotate the dial to extrude filament.

Yes TPU will be fine to print with

I would also recommend changing the PTFE coupler to a TFM or TFT coupler

The new filaments will have difficulties on the 2go due to the lack of heated bed.
You can get the heated bed kit from 3dsolex or one of their reseller's which will make printing with these materials more successful.
fragile materials?

If you overheat PLA it becomes quite brittle. Maybe if you print a one shell thickness and print it really hot? you could also use a 0.25mm nozzle.
Its not good to overheat it above 240degs though as it can burn in the nozzle
