  1. il me reste à essayer certains filaments qui peuvent s’étuver après impression pour améliorer leur performance (cristallisation ?).

    vous avez des noms à proposer ?

    Le polycarbonate (en particulier le PC-Max de PolyMaker)

  2. After the Neo-Sanding, we have de Neo-Ceram...

    Neoceram is a product of a Belgian company: Haerens. They are manufacturing in Belgium and Spain.

    I just found in Belgium VitreFlam which sells these locally for about 50 € tax & shipping included. They have International sites in some European countries, US and Canada.

    (I don't know  them, never ordered there -- this is just FYI)

  3. @neotko

    I am not sure bed size does matter. UMO+ and UM2 have AFAIK the same bed size in in the firmware. I always set the real printable area in the slicer (Which doesn't mean we can't have something in the firmware -- in particular for the Z if you have a really low Z end-stop)

    X/Y end-stops makes definitely sense, we already have Z...

    I'll add that to the list (together with temp sensor 'calibration') -- ETA probably not before end September...

  4. Si tu as un faux contact avec les mouvements du plateau tu peux avoir une brève interruption de la connection qui se traduit par une lecture de température aberrante et qui va provoquer l'erreur...

  5. Le NinjaFlex a une très bonne liaison inter-couches qui le rend bien étanche.

    J'ai imprimé des coudes pour l'évacuation d'eau de ma caravane il y a bien deux ans et je n'ai pas constaté de fuites...

  6. Delamination after boiling? I never noticed delamination here, but I never boiled too.

    No, not after boiling... if you apply stress on the parts they will easily break on the layers; the layer bonding is not that great.

  7. Le câblage est fait à l'arrache, je voulais le voir en action ;)

    Sinon sur l'UMO il y a un effet de bord plutôt intéressant: l'imprimante est beaucoup plus silencieuse! (Avec l'extrudeur d'origine la structure en bois de l'UMO fait caisson de résonance ce qui fait que l'UMO est relativement bruyante comparé à une UM2)

  8. I have now printed a couple of items in BioFila PlaTec. The result is very nice and it is super easy to print.

    I have some concerns though with layer bonding. Like @ultiarjan mentioned it delaminates easily, in particular when you follow the recommendations (0.1 layers @ 195°C).

    I get better results printing a bit hotter and avoiding fan when not necessary.

    Anybody else facing delamination? (Only thing I found is this thread on the Prusa forum which is not conclusive...)

  9. It's not about being right or wrong -- everybody is in a different situation and can evaluate what is right for him ;)

    Re. the axes, the UM2 has the X/Y axes swapped, using different side blocks which require longer rods. In a single head setup this is not that important, the difference is just a slightly bigger print area. But in a Mark2 configuration keeping the UMO setup would imply a complete redesign of the docking system, and the dock itself will be in the way for the UMO sideblocks...

  10. an ultimaker2 is unfortunately a bit out of my budget (at least currently, but maybe with the ultimaker 4 coming out at some stage the price drops into a more accessible range).

    and admittedly the umo is still running fine so i have no excuse for my family to buy a new one...

    Yes I appreciate that, everybody has another angle -- here is mine:

    Starting from a 'standard' UMO(+), you need 2 UM2+ hot ends, 2 extruders, new X/Y axes, ... which is already a lot of money. If I add to that the time to develop a new firmware, plus the other mods to retrofit the Mark2 to the UMO it makes the addition higher again :O

    On the other hand, we start to see more and more affordable UM2+ on the second hand market. The upgrade path is easier and well tested, and if I sell one of my UMOs the total price would not be much different ;)

    Now if I find a "sponsor" for the hardware, I might be motivated in making the firmware for the UMO, but that's unlikely to happen 8)

  11. For the small hot end fan, it is an on/off fan. On UM2 it is always on unless you have a recent 2.1.x board which powers off the fan when the hot end is cold. On the UMO 1.5.x it will be always on (I plan to add a small board to drive the hot end fan, but that won't be very soon as I don't have too much free time these days). So basically, just route either 12 or 24v to your fan and you will be good.

    For the 24v mod, the regulator is the key part. The original linear regulator won't do the job (even at 19v on the old boards it can't power the controller, I actually made this mod before going to 24v!)

    Mark2: I love this project... but I found that it is a relative expensive upgrade starting from an UMO, and I would rather consider buying a used UM2 for that. As you say, the main issue will be the firmware and I have no plan to mod the UMO firmware for that. @neotko is working on a UMO++Mark2 mod, but using another board/firmware for that (the Duet3d)...
