Any help anyone?
I was told that as my product-id on the machine is 0 i need to login in via SSH in dev mode to set that properly.
I have done it but the SSH keeps giving me this error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/ulti_installer/configure_eeprom.py", line 24, in <module>
eeprom = EEPROM()
File "/ulti_installer/eeprom.py", line 22, in __init__
self.__mac = binascii.hexlify(f.read(6)).decode('ascii')
TimeoutError: [Errno 110] Connection timed outCan someone help? I need to use the machine for a project which i am already late on.

Have you tried a factory reset yet?
Yes and a firmware reset as my machine bricked itself after the latest update!!

Hi guys,
Can someone help? On my UM3 the material list has disappeared. Meaning that when I go to load a new material I can't select anything. There is no list.
Its driving me nuts, it all started after the Um3 was bricked after the latest update.

@Rhsin I'm sorry to hear about your display problems. We did receive a few more of these reports but from the total number of printers that upgraded to v5.2.11 this is only a handful. We are trying to figure out where it goes wrong and from your long search we can conclude it is a software problem, perhaps in combination with a certain hardware revision.
Did you perhaps save the log files? Otherwise, are you willing to go through the process of updating again to v5.2.11 and dump the log files to USB when the display fails? You can send the log files in a private message.
For the time being I suggest you remain at v4.3.3. Do not upgrade to 4.3.97 as that is not stable for printing but is only a stepping stone to the v5.x releases.
The problem I have on 4.3 etc.. is that I do not have any materials listed in my material list on the machine, which means its unusable..

If you mean the firmware recovery, no, those are two different things.
A factory reset didnt work it says Select material and no material is listed to select....

Try a factory reset.
But isn't that what I have just done by fixing the bricked machine?

Check the firmware after the unbricking procedure, and if the firmware says 4.3.3 do not update, stay on this firmware and se if your machine works in a stabile way... mine does for now.. so i stay on firmware 4.3.3 i do not want to experiment with buggy firmware as the 5.x aparently are
My issue now though is there are no material profiles on the printer. So i cant load in any material as when i go to select what material that is there is nothing in the list.....
Any ideas?!

The latest FW on the website updating via USB bricks my machine, i have had to do teh unbricking procedure a few times now.
Does anyone have the version before the very latest one? That i can download.

Hey Guys,
For some strange reason i have lost all my materials on the printer. Litrally all of them, so when i go to change filament i cant select anything.
How do i install more? Or even the basic ones i should have PLA etc..
Its an UM3
-
Still have the um3?

I don't know then. I didn't think that version was crashing at all. It could be a bad arduino? That's all I can come up with.
Wait - had you updated the firmware recently before it started crashing? I don't think the firmware for um2/um2+ has changed in the last 2 years. Not sure. I've been using tinkerMarlin on my um2s for the last few years. But crashes are quite rare. So most likely you need a new PCB. Maybe?
No i updated after actrually as i assumed it could be that.

That's not typical behavior for a bad brick. That sounds like your standard crash.
Do you have standard firmware that came with the printer or did you upgrade to tinkerMarlin?
If you have tinkermarlin then take it out of geek mode and I think you'll find it stops crashing. If you have standard Marlin then I think you need to replace the PCB. Contact your reseller for prices on the UM2 PCB.
I updated the FW to the latest official one for UM2 machines.

when you say "crashes" do you mean two things are colliding?
Do you mean the computer crashes?
The power brick is operating always just a bit over it's rated power on the UM2 and often it gets upset and the computer in the power brick cuts power for a few tenths of a second which causes the firmware to reboot. Could that be it? Does it end up at a working home screen?
There are some cases where tinker firmware crashes randomly and hangs up. I have workarounds if this is the issue.
Please supply more information. Maybe send me a DM if I don't respond within 10 hours as I often "lose sight" of threads.
Hey!
So when I say crashes, it locks up the menu still shows that it's printing but the head isn't moving and neither is the bed. But the screen is locked up so you can't abort etc. You have to turn off and back on again.
The fw is up to date, and u have tried three different power packs to see if another one makes a difference and still no luck.

Hey Guys,
One of my UM2 machines is randomly crashing during prints if its printing something towards the middle of the bed.
It does it at random locations and random layer heights.
I can print the same item on my other um2, Um3 and UM5s absolutely fine.
Im assuming its something sort of cable issue that when the head moves to a certain location it trips out, but the printer basically crashes, the bed and head dont move but the head does stay hot.
I cant work it out, Any ideas?

Yes it was the board that was fried, i spent ages playing around, finally swapped in a cheap chinese board and it was crap. So swapped in a new board and it worked straight away.

I bought a Hardcore printcore from 3dsolex back in mid April As a spare to use when my officalUM3 printcores wear out.
Anyway that day finally came so I plonked in the Hardcore and tbh it has been non stop issues.... first impression is I would AVOID buying one of these, i may just be unlucky but so far it has been non stop issues and I really wish i had just not bothered with it.
Firstly the size of it is slightly off, so it feels a bit clunky going into the machine.
Second the print door nolonger shuts so I have to use a printed hook to hold it shut this is because the hardcore is ever so slightly too big.
Thirdly the auto leveling no longer works, as the printcore is too big you have to basically turn it off and manually level.
Fourthly it just constantly fails, i have swapped it into some of my other machines and it is 100% the printcore, it must have dodgy PTFE inside it as it just constantly fails. I know there were issues when they were first made but this was ordered in April...
I have wasted so much time with it, its not worth the hassle.
The worst thing about all this is I actually bought 6 of them, I havent tried the others yet...
If anyone has any bright ideas please do let me know.
-
Two ways to solve this.
1.) shut the door and push it down towards the print bed to bend the door arms slightly (they have bent out of shape) Use a little pressure but not alot.
2.) Print a door hook, there is one on thingiverse. It basically holds the door shut. I have to use this one one of my UM3s as the door keeps popping open.
-
Gosh is it only me or is this massively bug riddled. Im having loads of random crashes, its super slow at other times.
-
The cause was the print not sticking I was just a bit unlucky. The link just showed how to remove the cable is there another for the whole print head?
-
I just replaced the printbed in the end with a cheap one from china, works just as well as a legit one been using it for a few weeks. £10 instead of £100

Hey All,
I was after some advice my UM3 printcores are stuck. I had a massive pla disaster. Which covered the printhead in pla. I got it all cleaned off and the machine works fine. BUT i cant get the print cores out.They can move up and down just fine but will not click out no matter how hard i compress and pull.
Any thoughts?

Answering your questions in order:
1.) The printer will start its warm up to get ready to print, but will never actually print as the bed isnt warming up. So i manually decided to see if i can change the bed temp. I can set it to higher but it will never get higher then a reading of 25-28 which seems a bit off anyway.
2.)No error
3.)No i think that all looks fine, at the weekend i can remove reseat the cables on the board
4.)yes
5.)Oh a long time, its a real work horse (it has been used for thousands of hours)
-
ok At A its a bit random it seems to fluctatute between no reading and around 109.4
At B i get nothing which seems strange?
at c i get very similar to A

Sorry, I haven't logged on in a couple days. 832 sounds way off. Here are the points to measure:
Oh no that wasnt a dig at you, i just remember a year or so ago you would get 5 replies to question like this.
So i have a sneaking suspicion im using my multimeter wrong for measuring resistance. I will take a look at a guide.
