Ultimaker 2 from 2015 updated to 2+ in 2016 with the official kit. Photos: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AnxpsKEJfnwXi_pHplFc7Ebjit1_5A Included: - Ultimaker 2+ (7900 hours online, 3200 hours printing) - Ultimaker 2+ advanced 3D printing kit (1x Front enclosure, 25x Adhesion sheet, 2x 0.4 mm nozzle, 2x TFM coupler) - 3DSolex JET RSS Steel nozzle - Extra nozzles 0,25, 0,6, 0,8 (from extrusion upgrade kit) - Spare parts from Utlimaker 2 (extruder, nozzle, PTFE tube, silent fan…) - Leftover filament 2.85mm (approx percentage left): Makerpoint PLA: light grey 2.3kg (75%), silver 2.3kg (75%) Makerpoint ABS: signal white (50%), traffic black (25%) Makerpoint MP Flex45: white (75%) Makerpoint Woodfill (100%) (might be unusable because of humidity) ColorFabb PLA: blue (25%), red (25%), pink (75%) ColorFabb nGen: dark grey (50%), light grey (25%) ColorFabb XT: clear (50%) ColorFabb XT-CF20: black (75%) ColorFabb bronzeFill: bronze (75%) Recycled PET: clear (75%) Ultimaker PET: translucent blue (75%) As you can see on the pictures there is a brand new PEI sheet attached to the glass bed (it’s awesome for adhesion) but it can be easily removed if you prefer the stock glass bed. Reason for selling: All my other printers use 1.75mm filament and although the UM2 is my first beloved printer it doesn’t fit in my workflow now. I think it could use some maintenance to be pristine again (belts, bearing...). It's still sturdy and works well. I can do test prints for interested buyers. VALUE: UM2+: € 2.292,95 Ultimaker Advanced 3D Printing Kit: € 107,69 Steel nozzle: € 14,52 Filament: about € 350 Total value: € 2765 Asking price: € 1000 Region: The Hague, The Netherlands Shipping to Europe: € 30

Thanks.. I'll do this too (in 1.75mm by the way) if I can't fix it otherwise.

Same issue here.. I've also tried to check/clean/replace everything but it's still the same.. Did you fix yours??

Hi again, Not much reply here but I have more to add anyway. Anyone from Ultimaker care to join the discussion? I wonder: Why is the bed temperature for ABS set to 80 degrees in the firmware (and in Cura) while it's clearly (am I wrong?) not enough? Even in your own blog it's advised to use 110 degrees (https://ultimaker.com/en/blog/19363-ultimaker-schooling-materials). In the presets, default travel speed is 250 mm/s for the UM3 but it's back to 150 mm/s for the UMS5. Initial layer height is 0.27 for the UM3 and 0.2 for the UMS5 (they use the same glass bed don't they?). Many other settings such as line width, skin/infill overlap/pattern, or zhop are inconsistent between printers. What explains the differences? When I choose 0.6 nozzle for the UM2+ I only get the "Fine (0.1)" preset available whereas I clearly want to print bigger layers than with the standard 0.4 nozzle. I'm not complaining about the Cura software or the printer and I understand 3D printing is complicated stuff, but I'm surprised that the default presets are lacking. By comparison Slic3r Prusa Edition comes with many useful and working presets for different quality and also for different materials (nGen, XT-CF20, flex, ...). No tweaking required and I can add my UM2+ there and click print using their presets. I've been setting up my own profiles in Cura and at the end it works good but I really wonder: - Ultimakers are mainstream printers made easy for schools or businesses, so why is the software not as user-friendly out of the box? It can work if you tweak the settings, but the defaults are so-so in my opinion. Are there any plans to improve this in future versions or is it expected that the user come up with his/her own profiles?

Hi, I've always been wondering why there is no 0.2 layer height profile by default since it's a commonly used layer height. Actually I've just discovered there are some, but not for the Ultimaker 2+. I've added more printers to test and I see different profiles and I think it's a bit messy. For the UM2+ (my printer) there are 3 profiles: Extra Fine (0.06) Fine (0.1) Normal (0.15) The normal profile (0.15) uses 2 walls, 5 top and bottom layers, 18% infill, prints at 60mm/s and travels at 150. For the UM2 there are 4 profiles: Extra Fine (0.06) Fine (0.1) Low Quality (0.15) Draft Quality (0.2) The low quality profile (0.15) uses 2 walls, 6 top and bottom layers, 10% infill, prints at 60mm/s and travels at 120. For the UM3 there are 4 profiles: Extra Fine (0.06) Fine (0.1) Normal (0.15) Fast (0.2) The normal profile (0.15) uses 3 walls, 7 top and bottom layers, 20% infill, prints at 80mm/s and travels at 250. So I'm wondering if someone from Ultimaker can explain the differences or try to streamline the profiles for the next version. I don't see why the UM2 and UM2+ would print at different travel speed for exemple. Another one: if I select UM2, all the profiles uses 20% infill (including the "draft") except the "low" that uses 10%, why? What are you guys go-to settings??

thanks

Ever since I saw the Mark2 upgrade I wanted to do it for laser engraving alone. Can you provide a BOM and guide on how you achieved this?

On some models I notice a big difference between the 2 versions. For example a slice done by Cura 15 will print in 3 hours and the same model prints in 5 hours with Cura 2. I'm using an UM2+. I know the default presets are a bit different between the 2 versions but I was wondering if anyone has the same experience. How comes Cura 2 can produce much slower print?
