  1. Here are some of my settings:

    XT:

    - I usually print slow but its not really needed (30mm/s)

    - 50% fans in the material settings

    - 235-240C

    - 80C bed

    - 3DLac Spray

    - Close front panel

    Woodfill Fine:

    - .2mm layers or more

    - 50mm/s or more otherwise it will clog often

    - 105-110% material flow

    - 220C

    Ninja Flex:

    - You cant use OEM feeder. I use Roberts feeder with the snap on guide (https://www.youmagine.com/designs/alternative-um2-feeder-version-two)

    - I don't use oil but some do

    - 20-30 mm/s

    - 235C

    - retraction: 6.5mm, 35mm/s

    - Check this thread http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/3904-flexible-filaments-comparison/?p=50375

    thank you for the details - I will change the feeder and run tests.

    Right now I have to solve another problem - my nozzle is cloaked and blocked - I performed at least 15 times the atomic version to remove anything in there - but I can not get out what´s in it...

    I am thinking about maybe taking it apart - or have a new one sent ...

    I know wrong thread but any ideas here?

    :)

  2. Yes. The head can get up to 270C. So this means you can print Nylon also. There are also lots of PLA materials that include powders such as wood dust, stone dust, copper, bronze. Those all work okay. Also you can print "XT" which I think might be PET. And I believe you can print PET but I've never tried it.

    There are also some flexible materials (flexible PLA, filaflex, ninjaflex) which bowden printers like the UMO and UM2 have trouble with because it's like pushing a string and the feeder is far from the print head. But you can get it to work - you just have to print slowly and oil the filament. I've printed lots of things using ninjaflex.

    So basically look at the filament description and see the recomended print temperature. As long as it is 270C or less you should be fine.

     

    Hey Ultimaker User!

    thanks for posting that hint - I have a lot of trouble with wood-filament, XT and NinjaFlex on my UM2.

    Can you be a bit more specific in how you prepare the materials (oil up ninjaflex - what to use and how and ...?) and also what settings do you use in Cura and on the machine itself for the materials?

    It would be good to have data and put a guide together for the community, so that the frustration-level is not that high anymore...

    Now that we have all the material and try to blog about our experiences (started in German language), we really could use some hints - combined with our testing and documentation (pictures, Videos) we can give then good feedback to all other UM2 users...

    Hope for your valued input here - :)

  3. Hallo UCommunity :)

    als frischer Besitzer eines UM2 nähe Landshut/München wäre ich auch gern für ein Treffen mit Austausch im Südlichen Raum - alternativ auch gern mal in Berlin - unter der Woche Abends.

    Dort hab ich einen Bekannten der einen kleinen Laden hat, in dem 20-30 Leute mal eben Platz haben...

    Gibts denn schon eine Festlegung hierzu?

    Falls noch nicht, wer aus dem Raum München/Landshut möchte sich denn gerne schon vorab zusammentun und austauschen?

    MFG
