  1. I have the new feeder and I can only recommend it.

    My UM2+ ext can print easily at 80 mm/s with 0.3 layer height and a 0.4 mm nozzle.

    I printed that fast because my friend was waiting for the object before leaving for a vacation. (it's a gopro mount for skiing, check out the video below)

     

    The result came out quite nicely for a fast 0.3mm print imo.

    Here's the result.

    I cannot compare with Bondtech but I can compare with the old UM2 feeder and Robert's feeder.

  2. It's correct the forum can be optimised to boost the speed and response time.

    The speed test of Google gives more information about the speed of this forum.

  3. Hello. I need some help with this matter.

    I am using the tinkernogme firmawere 15.10. At the beginning everything has gone perfect. I love that firmware version. Since several days I am having several and continue troubles. Sometime occurs that when the printing going to start the temperature indicator on the screen go crazy up and down and the printing stopped and indicat bed sensor temp error.  I have revise several times the sensor and its functioning. This error not always occurs, and when the printing has started do not occurs anymore (is only in the first layer at the begining)

    Another problem I have is during the printing. I can not touch the roller and modified nothing. I have do it,them print stop for I few seconds like (freeze) and continue again but the print has been corrupted.

    I note that mi printter has become more slow (the commands) moving through the menu.

    I would like to reset all the configuration and erase all. I have made a factory reset but the configuration still been the same.

    Someone could help me?? or could say me something about this??

    thanks you very much in advance and forgive me my bad english

     

    You can install the default Ultimaker firmware with Cura.

    Connect your Ultimaker with an USB cable to your computer and choose "Machine" --> "install default firmware".

    good luck

    I still don't get why you try to write your own search algorithm instead of using Google...

     

    Indeed... seems in the same league as trying to design a stepper motor, SD card or LCD display...  others will always be better at it...  

    Is it just to costly to implement Google? royalties? how does it work? or you'r just control freaks?

     

    The implementation of Google search on a website like Ultimaker.com costs money. You pay for each search query submitted from your site.

    https://www.google.com/work/search/products/gss.html#pricing_content

    Finetuning the current search engine of this site and adding useful filters should be enough imo...

  5. I am also in for some filter options. Most important in my opinion:

     

    • search in topic subject <-> search full text

    • only show hits containing all keywords

    • only from subforum (multiple choice)

    • allow quotation marks to enforce a match of exactly the search text

    • only show threads with (at least xxx) responses

    • only show answered questions ( you might want to expand that to any tags)

    • only show hits in "best answer"s

     

    of course something like the vbulletin mask shown by frederiek would be awesome.

    And some useful sorting:

    sort by...

     

    • relevance ( i guess most search engines have some internal match rating)

    • date of last post in thread

    • number of answers

    • date of initial post

    • most liked posts

    • number of views

    • maybe average points of users who have responded ? (-> to find experts' threads ?)

     

    just a few options that come to mind.

     

    exactly! great suggestions imo!

  6. @frederiekpascal, it searches in both body and title / subject.

    The order in which keywords are entered is also of influence, and that is something we want to improve.

    Currently it gives you too many hits, which needs to improved too, but it also separates hits from site / forum / people etc.

    Would you like an option like 'User:Frederiekpascal' and what would you expect to see?

    All of his/your posts? Or other tags?

    About filtering, what would you like to know?

    On what keywords you have a hit?

    Do you want to rank them on 'latest reply' or most relevant? And how would you define relevant? (We can create a configuration as well, but by asking you there is a higher chance we end up on the same page).

    @Dim3nsioneer; so you want the subject to be heavier?

    The original post has 94000 views, where our top hit has only 400.

    You want it ranked on the amount of views i.e. popularity?

    @Yellowshark, thanks for putting in your 2 cents.

    I see it had also quite some hits on 'support'. Did those results make sense to you?

    Were you satisfied is it only showed the 2 results on forum?

    Thanks guys!

     

    Vbulletin has some nifty search functionalities. Not easy to clone them all in this forum but at least a few filters to sort the results are more than welcome. ;)

  7. How is this search functionality configured? Do you search in the body of a thread or only in the subject?

    I search for "Frederiek" as an example and the first few results are correct. But, as you can see, I still see a lot of irrelevant results...

    zzo0rfo.png

    Also, please a tool for filtering the search results. Now I have no clue how the results are sorted.

    And I got 255 results in the support section for "Frederiek". :p

    It's improved a bit yes, but I'll stick to Google for now. :)

    Keep us posted!

  8. I've gone over your profile a couple of times and i'm not a big fan.. mostly the retraction settings.. you've upped the speed a bit making it very noisy and i have not experienced any advantages so far..

    what are the major changes and their advantages?

    I have different S3D profiles I'm actively using. The one I shared used 35mm/s retraction, normally I use 25mm/s. It all depends on the model I'm printing though...

  9. @frederiekpascal nevermind, found your profile!

    but... your profile actually uses an infill of 15 percent and a support percentage of 50.. that seems weird? i would say infill at 20 and support at 18?

     

    like @Neotko says, it depends on the model a lot. When I need very tall and strong support structures I use 50% support infill percentage for the support, otherwise I don't go lower than 30%.

  10. vBulletin is a true hardcore-community forum software. That's correct imo.

    I used to be community manager games of 9lives.be and I noticed they still use vbulletin as their forum software. (to manage their 110K users and 14 million posts, I got user 4 btw, 3 sys admins beat me that day :p)

    But still, I like the fresh looks of this forum, the typography, the white space and the fresher look. Much better than most old-skool vBulletin boards.

    True, vBulletin offers a lot more features functions out-of-the-box but how many people would actually use those geek functions anyway?

    And the speed of the forum, it was very slow but it's ok now. At least in Belgium it is.

    Not that important for the forum users, but so important for the sys admins of UM is that vBulletin requires a high frequency of updates otherwise you'll be hacked within days. :)

  11. So whilst not critical, it is advisable to upgrade to the 35W heater if running the OB - yes?

    Had my OB in for a few months now and its been working great with my standard 25W version, but the quicker/stronger heat-up does sound a good upgrade, especially if using larger nozzles?

    Just checking if its an easy upgrade and where the video tutorial is - there must be one i'm sure :)

     

    Hey, here's a good tutorial on how to install a new heater : http://www.ideato3d.be/tutoriels/how-to-install-the-olsson-block-on-an-ultimaker-2/  I'd say it requires a skill level of 5 (on a scale of 10) :-)

    Actually this a tutorial for the temp sensor, but it's almost the same as installing a heater :)

  12. Bad luck, lol. You can say that again. My sensor and block were so far in the sensor only had cable sticking out so naturally thats all i had to pull, and who knows why the easy to remove heater was stuck. We'll see either way. I've just bought the heater. hopefully it will arrive lol.

    ive got it working, but if the fans go above 15% then the heater is not powerful enough. its to do with the shroud and positinīng or it with the ollson block. but i cant stand it, the noise the fans make at 15% is very irritating.

    i should have just left it alone the copper is cooling it too much.

    i hope they hurry up and release the new shroud already.....

     

    I had exactly the same problems as you with my UM2. Both my heater and temp sensor were burned in the heater block and there was no way to remove them and keep them working afterward.

    But when I changed the heater to a 35W version (you need this cause the olsson block is bigger) and replaced the temp sensor (with an original UM version though, the 3Dsolex version I got was more than 20C° wrong) most of my problems were gone.

    I admit, changing the sensor and heater is really a pain in the *ss. I hated it as much as you hate it lol. :D

  13. I just hope this is not right... for 0.8 nozzle at 0.2 layer and 20 mm/s 240 celsius is way to hot imho... even at 45mm/s and 0.25 layer I do this at 220.

     

    You can do the tests yourself imo, select a plus model in Cura and select a few profiles and save them to an SD.

    Wait until the build plate reaches it's temperature and then select "tune" and "temperature" and you can see it yourself how high the temperatures are going.

    Quickly abort because you probably don't have a 0.8mm nozzle installed atm, but this way you can check all temperatures for all those new profiles.

    at least, that's how I tested it :)

  14. @SandervG

    Maybe you can explain the implementation of setting temperature on the UM2+ a bit more?

    There's multiple lines in the material settings .txt file now, I assume being picked based on nozzle size set in the menu somewhere? Is it as simple as one line in the material file corresponds to one nozzle size?

     

    I was wondering the same thing, because the list does not correspond to the default "quick print settings" of Cura. (UM2+ printer selected)

    material.TXT

    [material]

    name=PLA

    temperature=210

    temperature_210

    temperature_195

    temperature_230

    temperature_240

    temperature_240

    bed_temperature=60

    fan_speed=100

    flow=100

    diameter=2.85

    And below are the temperatures that correspond to the default quick print Cura profiles on my plus, I tested them all.

    0.25 nozzle - High = 195°C (0.06 layer height / 20 mm/s print speed)

    0.4 nozzle - High = 210°C (0.06 layer height / 30 mm/s print speed)

    0.4 nozzle - Normal = 210°C (0.1 layer height / 30 mm/s print speed)

    0.4 nozzle - Fast = 210°C (0.15 layer height / 40mm/s print speed)

    0.6 nozzle - Normal = 230°C (0.15 layer height / 25 mm/s print speed)

    0.8 nozzle - Fast = 240°C (0.2 layer height / 20 mm/s print speed)

    cheers!
