for the enclosure, check this: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/stand-holder-for-the-full-graphic-smart-controller
You won't loose any settings using my firmware, it is exactly the same as the Ultimaker one, except for the controller (unless you select any other fancy option
)So I dont need to change any setting on that link and just download the firmware and apply it? Sounds simple enough. Thanks so much for the info and for the link for the enclosure.

Thanks for the response. Although I was hoping to get something similar to the
original LCD's size so I still can use the Ulticontroller's parts/enclosure.
But it's also great to know that there's a good alternative that I can use. Just need to design and print a custom enclosure.
Thanks also for the firmware link. My UMO pretty much has the stock firmware AFAIK, but just to be safe, how can I find out it's current settings. Kinda new to this and threading very carefully, lest I make a mistake and ruin the board.

The LCD on one of my UMO's Ulticontroller has a lightbleed.
Searching for a replacement
and found out it's a Displaytech 204A-CC-BC-3LP. Problem is I cannot find any seller
that will ship to the US. Any lead where I can buy the LCD or if there is an alternative
one that will work.
Looking at this one as an alternative. Would it work?
-
The connector is a JST-XH, you should be able to find that easily.
For the other parts, I would recommend to stay away from cheap copies, most of them are poor quality. One missed print and you will loose the benefit...
Thanks for the reply. Will this work?

Planning to add a heatbed on my UMO. The official one's price is a bit steep for my liking.
Wondering if a third party upgrade would work.
Anyone who did a third party heat bed upgrade have some good recommendations?
Is this a good one to get. How's the installation? Plug and play or needs some mods
to the board and firmware?
-
I need to replace just the plug (white plug) on the Thermocouple Temperature Control Board on my UMO as well as other parts.
Are these good and SAFE replacements?

A heated bed and a glas plate or similar will do wonders for you... Ultimaker has a kit nowadays, and you can find much cheaper alternatives on eg. ebay
like:
Is this one a "plug and play" upgrade. What else does one need to do to install this heat bed upgrade?
-
The main unit would be shipped assembled. The accessories like the ulticontroller, buildplate, spool holder, extruder, filament spool etc will be taken off, wrapped and secured for shipping.
Shipping would be standard ground, so not sure if delivery is within a week.
What is your state and zip code?
-
Offering the UMO now at $450 shipped within CONUSA.

Pretty sure my son can do this for you, I'll ask him if he feels like it. If he does I'll PM you his e-mail adres.
Received and tested the first version of the app. Exactly what i needed. Although waiting for the final version of the app after some slight modifications
I must say this, Ultrajan's son is very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. If somebody wants an app developed for a certain application, I definitely recommend him.
Thanks again Ultrajan.

Thank you very much. In communication with him already and should have a working app soon. Appreciate your time and help on this.

Where in USA are you based if I may ask?
I'm in CA. 93454. City of Santa Maria.

This is related to my next print project, as the housing and implements for this
project will be a 3d print.
Have a project in mind for the church that I am a member of.
The hymn number digital display board that we are using needs to be replaced.
Instead of buying a replacement, I'm looking at a different alternative
I am looking for an app or someone that can develop a simple app to input and display up to 3-digit big numbers on an android device.
The app should allow the user to change the digits individually by scrolling/swiping up or down on the number.
For example, the displayed number on the screen is 100, and I want to change it to 214.
I would start with the 1, scroll/swipe up to 2, then 0 scroll/swipe up to 1, then 0 scroll/swipe up to 4, to change it to 214. Number should be from 0 to 9, as well as a blank digit/space. Attached below is an image of how the app should work.
[/url]The app should allow the number to be displayed fullscreen because I will be connecting the android device to an external monitor, mounted on the wall behind our choir loft for the congregants to see.
Option to change the background and text color although the default background can be black and the text is yellow.
Asking for help if you know an app or an app developer that can do something like this. Willing to pay a fair price, so let me know how much as well.
Reply to me through this thread. Thanks.

Need to get a bigger build volume printer. I've outgrown the build size of the UMO.
-
Reduced price to $450 plus shipping within CONUSA.

CLOSE UP PICTURES of UMO added.

Chiming in about Sketchup. Been using it to create 3d models for 3d printing for
some years now. Quite happy with the results. I'm also looking into Fusion 360 and Onshape. How does these two compare to SU as far as intuitiveness and user-friendly matters.
Which version of SketchUp are you using? I should have mentioned it, but I was talking about the freeware version Google SketchUp 8.0 (the latest freeware I think?), with which I had bad experiences for 3D-printing. But of course it may have been improved in the professional versions after it was taken over by another company. Google bought it for designing surface-3D-models of buildings, for its Google Map and Earth projects. Watertight 3D-modeling for 3D-printing was not on their priority list back then. I don't know what the focus is of the new owners?
Models were done with SU Pro 2016 and earlier versions, exported to stl or dae format and 3d printed using Cura.
-
I'm interested....can you PM me some pics of the printer? (I'm also printing out parts for my BB-8 build)
Sure, will take pictures and post them over the weekend.
-
The only thing for which Sketch-Up has some limited use in design for 3D-printing, is when your 3D-editing package does not support some features and Sketch-Up does. For example text in DesignSpark Mechanical is not officially supported (although it can be done by adding and editing dimensions, and then projecting these onto a model).
In such a case you could set the text in Sketch-Up (only the vectors, no 3D), and import that in DesingSpark Mechanical. But a lot of characters will need manual fixing, since sometimes the vectors do not touch each other, leaving a gap, and then you can not extrude that shape. So you manually need to connect and close those gaps.
Otherwise Sketch-Up is useless. It is only good for visual modelling on-screen.

Here's some works i did with SU and UMO.
-
Revised listing, added a heat bed upgrade.
Uploaded pictures and video of printer in action.
-
would you be willing to ship to Canada?
Sure, as long as you pay the shipping as well as custom fees if any.

[print=5422][/print]
Great to see the UM3's dual extrusion working very well.
Please post a print of something that is done with PVA supports.
-
@mechaneil, how many parts did you split it up into? Looks fantastic.
Cut the model into 13 parts to get the best print bed orientation and minimize
overhangs, although minimal supports was still used, particularly in
the hands/fist area.
-
Hi @Mechaneil, wow some very impressive prints coming from your side!
Did you model of them yourself?
What are you using them for?
Curious to see what they will look like after post processing. I am guessing you are also going to paint them?
Great work, please keep them coming!!
Hi Sander, modelled it using DAZ3d and Zbrush. Head is a rework of this: https://sketchfab.com/models/6c7b7868399c4b7c85d9799823030cc7
And yes this will be painted and accessorized. First of my 1/6th scale SW SITH custom figures. Have Darth Talon and Assaj Ventress in the works already.

ULTICONTROLLER LCD REPLACEMENT
in Third party products & modifications
Posted · Edited by Guest
Purchase it and will be printing the case. If this works well, I might
do the same for the other UMO.
Thanks again for the help especially for the very visual and thorough explanation.
