    How long does your UM2 take to heat up?

    By the way when the temp gets within 10C of the goal the PID controller kicks in and things start to slow down. So if I set the thermostat to 50C it takes longer than 2:16 to get there.

     

    is there any way marlin to put a code that heatbed starts heating until 45 °c as soon as um2 starts working???...it saves times while preparing things... i generally heating it manually to 45...

    Hey there!

     

    I've been hoping to laser cut a custom Ultimaker Original Plus frame with the dimensions of an UM2 Extended, but I'm having issues sourcing the right materials.  I'm in the US, and finding the right metric stuff is difficult.  I think I may be able to get away with 1/4" thickness instead of 6mm, but I can't seem to find anything that's the right quality.  The closest that I can find is some MDF, and I'd really prefer not to go down that route (moisture, not structurally great, etc).  I'd also like to avoid acrylic, though I am making the side panels in frosted acrylic to look somewhat like newer Ultimakers.

     

    Here are the files that I'm basing this project on:

    So far, I have checked Lowe's, Home Depot, ACE Hardware, various local laser cutters, laser suppliers online, Amazon, and Michaels.  None of these places have the right grade of birch plywood I'm after.  I emailed Ultimaker support, and they just linked me back to the Github page which only lists "Birch plywood" at 6mm thickness as the material.  Further digging has led me to find that this type of material is Baltic birch - that's about all I know.

     

    I checked out a few more forum posts to see if anyone is in a similar situation as me, but didn't find them to be that helpful.  I did see that someone used "dibond aluminum" which could be an interesting choice.

     

    So, long story short: Does anyone know of a US supplier of the material used to make the Ultimaker Original Plus frame?  If I have to import from overseas, that's not ideal, but possible.

     

    P.S.:  I am also considering modifying the front panel of the Original Plus to use the UM2 screen.  No real reason, just for aesthetics and maybe quicker response time.  Thought I'd throw this in to see if anyone has suggestions.

     

    Thank you so much!

    Filamentchange excessive lenght.

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted · Edited by Guest

    Hello,

    I try to modify and shorten the filament change lenght in arduino. both changing and loading lenght is aproximately 60cm is longer including bowden tube leght.

    I found this titled in marlin as "configuration_adv.h" ; but in any changing there is no changing at all...60 cm is extra after bowden tube.  anyone knows the solution for this.?

    //adds support for experimental filament exchange support M600; requires display

    #ifdef ULTIPANEL

     //#define FILAMENTCHANGEENABLE

     #ifdef FILAMENTCHANGEENABLE

       #define FILAMENTCHANGE_XPOS 3

       #define FILAMENTCHANGE_YPOS 3

       #define FILAMENTCHANGE_ZADD 10

       #define FILAMENTCHANGE_FIRSTRETRACT -2

       #define FILAMENTCHANGE_FINALRETRACT -100

     #endif

    #endif

    Feeder Motor

    in UltiMaker 3D printers

    Hello all,

    my existing motor problem only occur while I was changing material but printing process, it works fine...

    https://www.facebook.com/selcukfindik/videos/10154204413679191/

    I think my feeder motor is not suitable...While I was building my ultimaker 2, I had chosen Pololu SY42STH47-1206A (I did not pay attetion at all ). however, its 6 leads and 4v voltage rate.

    there are 4 types of "SY42STH47" motors ( http://reprap.org/wiki/NEMA_17_Stepper_motor )

    and I need to know suitable version for feeder motor?

    SY42STH47-1504A or SY42STH47-1684A / B

    there are difference between Holding Torque and motor lenght...

    Which one I need to choose?

    this is the new laminated aleminum dibond which is strong and heavy...i am waiting for aleminum base plate from china....i used thicker dibond to test it but it is not strong enough to work on it...it looks a little messy but i will orginaze when aleminum plate has arrived....i have lots of dibond frame and i consider to build extended and 2go version... plus is just looking perfect...i love ultimaker :D

    Process is

    1) download github's "ultimaker 2" STL files

    2) opened in 3ds max and by selecting edges of sides, i send it to autocad as 2d (dxf files)

    3) I put ultimaker 2 extended picture into autocad. I aligned with the "ultimaker 2" drawings and find the measurements (approximately) ( UM² extended is 10 cm longer than UM²)

    4 I import dxf files to CNC router program and I adjust the blade thickness. CNC process is crucial. You have to know CNC router well ( for example when Plexiglass is cutting, direction of the mill is crucial etc...
