    PEI buildplate for UMS5

    in Third party products & modifications

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    The best add-on I ever bought for my UM2+ was a PEI-coated aluminum buildplate with a thickness of 5mm [1]. This buildplate completely replaces the original glass buildplate. As I mainly work with PLA, this buildplate just solved almost all my issues with warping or lose parts. On top, it gives me a quite equally locking finish on all sides of the printed parts.

     

    Now, I got my hands on an UMS5. After the original aluminum buildplate was canceled, I was wondering if I could just get the same PEI-coated aluminum buildplate for the S5. There is no UMS5 option in the drop-down menu on the website but it is possible to provide custom dimensions. So basically, I would just need the exact dimensions of the buildplate and the locations of the screw holes.

     

    Question A: Does anyone have these dimensions at hand?

     

    Besides the missing dimensions, I am also not sure if this would work out that easily with the UMS5. There must be a reason why the original aluminum buildplate was canceled. Also, the automated bed leveling could be an issue. The buildplate would be bigger than the one for the UM2+, so there might be some significant deformation due to the thermal conditions.

     

    Question B: What problems could be raised from replacing the original glass build plate?

     

    Another option could be PEI sheets but I don't have any experience with these so far...

    Announcing Cura 2.7

    I just did a fresh install of Cura 2.7 on my new Macbook with macOS Sierra (10.12.6). It seems like Cura is automatically creating an 'AppData' folder in my home folder. The folder contains a 'Local/cura' folder with the log files 'stderr.log' and 'stdout.log'. This folder and files are always recreated when Cura is loaded.

    Is this intended or just a hard-coded Windows path?

    Cura 15.04.6 or Cura 2.1.2 That is the question

    Am i Drunk? i make the new Firmware Update from Cura 2.1.3, Printer is showing 15.04.7 RC5

    Is this correct? Because before i´ve got 2.1.0 Firmware on it.

     

    I wanted to ask the same question. I was pretty surprised to find a 15.04 version number after upgrading my UM2 to an UM2+ with Cura 2.1.3 und OS X. But it seems to be normal then. Could somebody please confirm this?!
