Hi all
I just bought an Ultimaker 2, i've printed about 3 small objects, 2 maker bots, 1 little rose for mothers day. and already problems... You can all probably understand me that i dont want any problems after 2 days after paying about 2500 euro for the total package...
I started with silver PLA and now changed to white ABS. My spool was stuck at first, i had to open the entire print head to retract the PLA spool manually, after about 3 houres off googling and watching video's and dissassembling my machine i got it out.
I inserted my white ABS, let it run through and a tiny bit came out of the head ( before some of yellow like burned plastic came out ). So after in totall 4 - 5 houres of tinkering i thought i was finished.
I tried printing a small makerbot and no plastic is coming out. Although i see that the motor is running and i see the spool going in. Its weird because the plastic exitted the head and when i try to print, nothing comes out of the nozzle.
I'm gonna try the atomic method tonight because i'm thinking my nozzle might be clogged.
Any tips on how to solve or what else to try ? And above all, how I can avoid all this trouble because really... Paying 2500 euro and having problems after 2 days... I'm not a fan of this at all...
I hope ultimaker gives me good support because i'm really afraid of doing something wrong and having the chance that ultimaker says you tinkered with it yourself, gone is your standard garantie of 1 year and gone is my 2500 euro...
