Hi PeggyB,

that sounds fantastic! the one point of concern is that this is aimed at the Ultimaker, while I have an Ultimaker 2. most parts function quite differently, the heated bed, most of the settings... do you also offer a course for the Ultimaker 2?

so let me perhaps rephrase that, while troubleshooting info is very important, i am simply unfamiliar with things like retraction speed and why it's relevant, printing speed, how to change it, and basically, the basics of 3d printing... so that's what i need a crash course in

hi gr5!

thanks for your answers!

the reason for me prefering to drive somewhere has everything to do with the fact that i would then get some knowledge about the machine instead of just fixing stuff

I'm from Houten, near Utrecht. travel is not a problem for me.

let me try to find a fablab closeby

thanks for the link, i already found that one, but i guess i'm more looking for a crash course rather than solving seperate problems. with solving problems or challenges, i would still not really learn more about the machine and the why..

Hi community!

I have just purchased an Ultimaker 2, and so far very happy with it!

There are however some challenges that I have with printing. honestly, this printer has so many functions, it is probably me doing things wrong..

I have "fixed" one of my problems that I had with the bottom of prints showing the printing "lines" by realigning the bed, but i also have a some top-melting issues when printing the Light Saber and some other small challenges.

i believe my issues are all caused by me making rookie mistakes. i'm new to 3d printing.

instead of me going over the forums and then trying random things, i'm looking for someone that has a lot of experience with the ultimaker 2 and can basically take me on a crash course..

preferably in person (I'm from NL and can travel) otherwise via Skype?

thanks!
