  1. So let me make sure I completely understand...

    Olsson Block  - Already got it (just not installed yet - Christmas present)

    Improved Shroud - Have a similar printed model

    Removal of spring - Have a similar printed model

    TPM coupler - Have a small supply of TFT coupler from gr8

    Improved glass clips - ehh

    35W heater - Already got it (just not installed yet - Christmas present)

    Improved PT100 - can buy as replacement part

    Feeder - only available in upgrade kit

    man, I really love what you guys decided to do. When I got my 2, there were a lot of parts I needed to print to make it work as good as I needed it to. Looks like it's all part of the 2+ . I'll be interested to see how well the feeder holds up as that seemed to be most of the issues with my PLA printing. Cheers, will upgrade soon ;)

  2. It seems as though you can print through cura in the latest version via usb. But I could not get it to work. I may need to update firmware or something. It was just printing in mid-air, but didn't even raise the bed, or initialize starting sequences.

  3. I was wondering what everyone had decided to do when it comes to remote access.  How do you manage prints remotely?

    From what I've seen so far, my options are:

    http://octoprint.org

    http://www.repetier.com

    http://solidutopia.com (astroprint)

    Ideally, I'd like it to just be a program that runs on a mac.  I am mainly interested in:

    1) aborting bad prints

    2) changing settings during a print remotely

    Thanks in advance.

  4. Use Roberts spool holder

     

    yea, I'm going to print it soon, I guess I wonder why UM hasn't decided to include that in the box, or fix theirs. They are still shipping a "consumer" product that doesn't work out of the box well. I've spent a good part of a week reading this forum. without that I would be royally screwed. thank god for the forum. I just wonder how long it will take them to fix it.

  5. I have a need for printing some 3D printed things in PLA that need to tightly hold a solenoid that will get very hot. As of right now it's melting the PLA pretty good and allowing things to move around. Will ABS fix this? I'm not sure it will. Any ideas of how to tightly grip the solenoid with something and dissipate the heat before it gets to the PLA? Ideally it would be a simple hack. Thanks for the help.

  6. So things have been better, I downloaded the new cura, updated the firmware and ran the test again, got up to level 9 before I started getting spacing between the layers. I also printed up the low friction spool holder and a new filament guide which I've noticed has taken a ton of tension off the line to the feeder. I'm in the process of printing Roberts alternative feeder to see if I like that one better then the stock.

    I switched out the blue pla for clear, i'm playing with the clear just to see what it's like, I'm going to switch again to some grey pla to see how that prints, I've read that the blue stuff is hard to work with. I'll post a print of the grey stuff once i switch it out.

     

    can you link these?

  7. Some minor bugs caused the front-end to crash every time. This is fixed now and will probably be released next week in Cura 15.06.02.

    Note that the layer view cannot handle wire prints, with their loads of Z moves. While developing I used http://chilipeppr.com/tinyg for viewing the resulting gcode.

    Also don't be overwhelmed by the shitload of settings for wire printing. Just use the defaults (when using an Ultimaker 2).

    You can control the density/accuracy/layerheight of the net structure with the 'Wire Print Connection Height' setting.

    When tweaking, start with the 'fall down' and 'drag along' settings (for 'Wire Printing Strategy' = [Compensate]).

     

    I will try it out. thanks!
