    Hello,

    I can assure you that it takes forever until the printer is started.


    In normal videos you will never find the startup sequence.
    I have a small YT channel myself and I can tell you for sure. A large part of the YT users have patological attention disorders. If you show something so boring, they simply switch. Of course, you don't want to cause that with a video.

     

    Can not make you a video, because I have a bundle. I'm afraid that there the startup takes even longer. (But may well be that I make later still one 😈).


    Sometimes it does not start at all. Then I must switch on the printer again.

    But it is good that the printer can remain in constant operation. Switching off is not necessarily intended there.

     

    Many greetings

    -Switching off is not necessarily intended there.- You mean that I can put the printer in some kind of sleep mode?

  2. Hello.

     

    I just got my new Ultimaker S5, de one with the U logo instead of the robot (I like the robot better) =(

     

    Anyhow, I want to ask about the process and boot time of the printer, since I came from an Ultimaker 2, the first time I turn the printer I have to be honest I tought it was broken, because the printer turn on the screen first, then turn everything off, then the screen comes back and the the chamber gets light up, after that the chamber gets almost no light, then the screen starts to flicker, turns off and the turns on back again with all the printer, that process takes about a minute. Is this normal or there's something wrong with it? This is the first printer that I know that boot up like this.

     

    I'll really appreciate if you can guys can share a video of your boot up sequence, just for a peace of mind.

     

    And it's also funny that every single video that i have looked on internet always skip the boot up sequence. 

     

     

    Thanks.

  3. Good day to you all.

     

    I wanna know if there´'s a way to make the printer to extrude filament before reversing/changing the material. I'm using an all metal E3D V6 and I'm having problems every time that I want to change filaments, it just get stuck, the only solution that I find do far is to extrude some filament first then lunch the change filament option.

     

    Do I need to change some parameters on Marlin to make this permanent? I'll love to use the same menu option inside the printer.

     

    My machine is an Ultimaker 2.

     

    Thanks. 

  4. I just download and install Cura 15.06.01 on my PC Windows 8.1 and I can´t update my Ultimaker 2 firmware, it just stay in the "Starting firmware update, this may take a while", the progress bar shows no update and it has been the same for 1 hour.

    Does anyone knows what could be the problem?

  5. Hello,

    I was having terrible under extrusion problems on my brand new Ultimaker 2

    20150329_140433.jpg

    The I add a filament filter/ioler whit a little bit of canola oil and that take all the demons out of my UM2

    I hope this help to those how are having trouble whit under extrusion.

    TIP: Whit canola oil I can actually see where the filament was getting stuck inside the feeding tube.

     

  6. Advance settings it's important since it can have speed different for outter inner infill. So check it. Unless it's at 0 the 'speed' it's specific for each 'finish'

     

    Thanks Neotko,

    I checked the advance settings and reset all values to default and that correct the problem. But what did you mean by "speed it's specific for each finish"

     

  7. Hello,

    I have an Ultimaker Original Plus for almost two months, everithyng was fine until today.

    I was trying to print a file that will take 36 hours to complete, I leave the machine alone for 8 hours and when i returned the printer was at 1% of the job, and printing very, veeeery slow.

    When printing it makes some normal moves at normal speed, but in some points it slows too much

    This is a screen shot of my settings:

    The advance settings remain untouched.

    I also want to mention two things, before I started the print I update Cura to 15.02.1 and re install the printer firmware, then I noticed that the save to SD was not present on the software interface, so I saved the model through the CRTL+S command, I noticed that took a little more time than usual to save the file, anyway when the print start to do there thing it was possible to here that the printer was a little bit quite than usual and a little red light was on and off under the printer.

    So guys what do you thing could be the problem?

     

  8. For gt2 xy blocks, I highly recommend the Reptar V2 XY blocks on youmagine.

    Another really good mod is switching to direct drive. Lots of options for that. I personally recommend the corner motor mount on (youmagine) and getting the longer rods from Misumi (some other places might also sell good rods, but the ones from McMaster are not up to the claimed specs)

     

    I all ready do a little research on this Direct Drive system for the Ultimaker, I'll be honest whit you, for me It's seems a huge improvement over the short belts, but at the same time I think that it needs some more tweaking that just adding some connectors. In your experience. How difficult it's this mod? It's just simple plug and play?

     

  9. Thank you guys for the answer and tips.

     

    You can find good GT2 pulleys on http://www.robotdigg.com. There are other sources, of course. But that's where I got mine from.

    I'd suggest switching out the grub screws for some stainless steel quality hardware, but that's just me being... myself.

    I don't know about the belts from Robotdigg. I got mine from Misumi (which are actually manufactured by Gates Unitta, a renowned manufacturer for belts in the automotive / racing and industry fields).

    IIRC (citation needed!), you will need 303-tooth (616mm length) belts for an UMO. I made my own frame, so I can't tell about the original one.

    You should also replace the slider blocks (for example with Chopmeister's Twisterblocks).

    /edit:

    Oh, and there's the short belts of course. I'd suggest to go direct drive, but if you don't want that you'll need to get short GT2 belts, too. No clue how long they need to be, though...

     

    Definitely I will start to look on to this GT2 convertion, now that you point me on the right direction it's seemsn very doable for my level of skills.

     

    here is the original thread, I suggest you continue the discussion there:

    http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/1611-fixing-pulley-innacuracy/page-14

    That said, switch to GT2 as Jonny suggestions. 303 tooth for the long belts, 100 for the short.

    JUST NOTE that you MUST switch to a different block because at 303 tooth, the long belts do NOT require tensioning and in fact won't fit on the stock blocks.

    Good quality GT2 belts can be obtained from SDP/SI. These are the actual part links I ordered:

    2 of http://www.sdp-si.com/eStore/Catalog/PartNumber/A%206R51M100060

    4 of http://www.sdp-si.com/eStore/Catalog/PartNumber/A%206R51M303060

     

    Thanks anon4321, with Jopnny Bischof suggestions and this all I need to do now is buy those things, I will order those parts and do a comparative between better quality MXL pulleys and GT2 system. I think that we all ready know that the GT2 system it's better, but for some beginners like my self maybe the MXL swap could a little easier, but since the UM2 go for the GT2 components it's definitely the way to go after upgrading the MXL pulleys.

     

    I just asked to workshop to update their last quotation (dated 2013).

     

    Thank you very much, I really appreciate the effort, I'll be checking this post for the last quotes.

     

  10. He needs at least 10 orders to make it worth while, there is a list in one of the posts somewhere, think you would take it up to around 4/5 people now. Keep pushing, I want some too!

     

    I don't mind buying 5 kits of pulleys since I'm pretending to buy more Ultimakers for my business. Do you have a link for the list post?

     

    True, but you can double the figures. 200 or 300 pcs would be a reasonable lot size. As most people seem to buy an UM2 now the demand is declining.

     

    Thanks for answering to this post. Can 100 pieces be possible? I know because of the low number of pieces the cost is going to be a little bit higher. But can this be an option in case that we don't get more people to reach 200 pieces?

     

  11. Hello,

    I’m starting a new 3D bussiness here in Mexico, it's a 3D cafe where people can learn everything related whit 3D Printing, that's the reason why I'm looking for an Ultimaker Original.

    In order to get the young people access to this technology I gave 30 kids a full free pass for a complete year and one printer can't do the job.

    So, if anyone is having thoughts of selling his or her printer I'm here.

    I'm mostly looking for a non upgraded printer, 100% stock.

    Greetings from Mexico

  12. Hi,

    A quick update on the good things to.

    The sales team send me two days a go my Pro-forma Invoice, They confirm that any order is lost or erased, and They will solve any problem whit my account and everyone else.

    I have to thank the Ultimaker sales team for the quick answer, that Pro-forma gave me patience in order to wait for my shipping confirmation.

    Thanks

     

  13. On November 26 I bought an Ultimaker Original +, today I was trying to check the status of the order in my account, and it said that I don't have any placed orders.

     

    My order number is R814357783

    I'm starting to freak out and they don't answer any of my tickets, and now this : (

     

    I even send a PM to Sander whit no luck, I know the reputation of there printer but the the experience of buying whit them it's really scary.

    Is it difficult to get a refund?

     

     

     

    Thanks.

     

    Sorry for my english, I'm from Mexico
