I see your point. I have built a box around the printer, and i have it on the floor. Therefore it would make changing the filament easier with the holders on top. I would the direct the filament throigh aom tubing, in a way that makes it enter the feeder from the bottom. Ofcourse I could lift up the whole box, and have the filament beneath.

I have the UMO with all the goodies Ok, nice!

Hi, I'm going to rearrange and upgrade my spool holder/feeder system, for dual extrusion and ease of access. I've been looking at this kind of models: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/universal-stand-alone-filament-spool-holder-fully-3d-printable Is a low friction spool holder a good upgrade, and do you notice a difference in prints quality? How about the dust filter? That look quite effective. Also, I'm going to mount my spools about 1 meter above the printer, which also means about 1m away from the feeder motor. Will this "long" distance affect the print in a negative way? Thanks for any answers

I see, thanks! I actually hadn't thought about the less volume to cool bit

Thanks for your comment and help! I've now tried printing with a temp of 205C, and that seemed to help a bit. I also increased the minimal layer time to 10sec. Wouldn't 0.2mm layer height give it more give more of a base to hold on to, or am I thinking wrong? Oh and yes, PLA will surely fail sooner than other materials, but this duct is just a temporary one as I'm installing a second extruder soon

Hello guys! I'm in need of some help with analyzing and calibrating my Ultimaker Original (with heated bed). The issue: Top view: Here you can see that some of the layers are not touching. Left side view (fan is on this side): Right side view: Bottom view: Here you can see that near the top (the round part at the bottom in this picture) there's something weird going on. Print settings: Material: PLA Layer height: 0.2 Shell thickness: 0.8 Bottom/top thick.: 0.8 Fill density: 100% Print speed: 50mm/s Temp: 210C Bed temp: 50C Diam: 2.85 Flow: 100 Retraction speed: 40 Ret. Dist. : 5mm What I have checked so far: - The short belts are tight, and are not grinding against the walls. - All the pulleys are tight. - Filament is measured. - Bed is leveled. - Room should be "breeze free". Could you guys help me with this?

I sure do need some assistance. I PM'ed you

I feel your pain bro. Like i posted in another post, I'm having some trouble of my own, with not getting answers nor support. I hope Ultimaker are just having some problems or something. Or maybe there was so much work with the America launch or Make Faire. I hope those could be the reason. I see Ultimaker as a great company, and sincerely hope they get this all sorted out and continue being as great as they can be, asap.

It would be awesome to get some answers soon...

I too am having some issues. I ordered an UM Original on the 2th September, along with a dual extruder and lots of filement. Paid it the same day and it's been Ready ever since, and i get that, because they said the lead time would be 4 weeks. But last week I called to see if i could get it upgraded to the plus model and they said they would contact me. Well now its over a week ago. I also contacted some here on the forum, but no reply yet :(
