Desperately need UM2/UM2+ hot end (minimum aluminium parts)
macua85 replied to macua85's topic in Ultimaker 3D printers
Thanks all, much appreciated -
All I can say is...wow. I’ve been away from the 3D print communities for a few years. The developments are astonishing. Amazing work Gudo (rip, sad to read he passed), neotko and the rest of the team. Ive got two ultimaker originals, one in standard form (Aside from GT2 and direct drive conversion), and one with with a dual tool changer I designed and built in 2015 hot on the heels of foehnsturm when he published his idea. It works well, but is limited being Bowden. I came across the ZGE a few days ago, so set about procuring the parts to upgrade the standard UMO to um2+

I'm a bit out of touch with 3D printing, however things still appear to be the same in Cura. If you do use Cura, you can set the print nozzle off sets under Setting -> Printer -> Manage Printer -> Machine Settings -> Extruder (1 or 2) The offsets are located in there. Obviously printer needs to be connected with USB for this. Hope it helps, sorry if it doesn't. Thanks, Anthony

Hi guys, It's been a few years since last post. First, apologies if this is in the wrong section, admin please feel free to move. I've got a UMO, and, having experimented with E3D hotends and complete custom units (on my mag tool change printer), i've decided it's time to upgrade to a UM2+ hot end. All of this is due to a large work project, with an expectation that I will be printing all the parts, and within the next week or so. I feel this hot end (with olsson block) will give the best results. The problem is, no one in the UK or Europe seems to sell the

Wow, 3d printing has come on a bit since I last logged in a few months ago! Still leading the field foehnstrum i see! Great work

Have you guys seen this: http://e3d-online.com/Titan-Extruder Could be a nice package for easy use with this changer system. Maybe swap for a pancake motor and would be sufficient? What do you think?

Foehnsturm, any more updates on your machine?
-
It does seem here that you are trying to reinvent the wheel. The dual head changer system removes the second nozzle as a concern, and even takes care of any oozing issues as it oozes in the corner rather than on the print. Not sure why you would go through with this complex design, unless its just for the challenge,then go for it! We all like seeing new ideas here.

Any updates?

Cheers for the rod info neotko. Bearwood, yea i use robotdigg a lot as he is in China, and as I am at the moment, it makes shipping so cheap. I've just got my latest delivery...all the parts to make the 'mostly printed CNC machine'. I plan to use my plasma cutter torch with it. Should be an interesting project! Regarding the rods, it definitely pays to get from a reliable source off the bat, i'll upgrade to misumi in due course, once i've moved back.

Very impressive prints there. Whats the next developments on this project for you foehnsturm? Have ultimaker given you a call yet to discuss a partnership!?
-
I've just realised how out of true my rods are on my Chinese parts printer. I can see the twister blocks wobbling up and down on all axis when I move the print head. The prints all look good, but I'm assuming this affects the dimensional accuracy. So, don't buy rods from China! @neotko, how are the misumi rods? Do you have a link? Thanks

Hey guys, I keep getting this rough surface on this part, always in the same places. Printed with colorfabb XT black on UMO at 250 degree. Thanks for any tips

I've got the same problem with the UM glass. I ordered a new one, but its got the same problem. Its weird, my Chinese heated bed glass on the other printer doesn't suffer from the same issue.

Have you checked the belts (short belts) to make sure they are sufficiently tight? Also checked the pulleys to make sure they are nice and tight?
