    How to disassemble printer to plug in new lead to print head

    in UltiMaker 3D printers

    Posted

    I have an Ultimaker 2 and have to replace the wires that go to the print head. One connects inside the back and the to the thermistor that monitors the temperature and the other I believe heats the head. Both of theses wires run from inside the printer, out the back and up through a shield (fabrics wrapping like tube that all wires route through) over the top of the printer to the print head. In the past I believe There used to be videos that showed how to disassemble the back to get to the wire connectors. Can anyone tell me where I might find this type of video or instruction? I’ll continue to look as this page is different the last time I was here. Thanks in advance for any guidance! Scott

    Purchasing new parts for Ultimaker 2

    Has anyone purchased any parts for their Ultimaker 2 in the US? When I went to the Netherlands site, I wasn't able to read the page (even after translating it) and when I found a kit that appeared to have the items I'm needing there was no packing list to know for sure what was included in the kit. Also, there was no mention of US dollar price?

    How is everyone else getting their new parts? I'm in need of the two items that connect to the nozzle. I believe one heats the nozzle and the other is the sensor to determine the nozzle temperature.

    Thanks in advance!

    UM2 not reading SD card

    Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I tried another SD card but it didn't work either. I have thought about upgrading the firmware but if I can't read the card not sure about my options at this point. Need look into other methods. If you or someone else was able to resolve please let me know!

    Thanks Scott

    My Cura still says "Calculating"

    First thank you in advance!

    My Cura still says "Calculating" after I minimizing the quality a small amount. It never seems to come back and say that its' ready for me to save to my disk? What kinds of reasons might this happen?

    Thanks Scott

    It appears that when at the bottom when the blue bar says' "Save to Disk" that its' ready. No matter what it says above (Calculating). I've tested this twice so I believe is just a little misleading.

    Thanks for responding

    Hairy prints

    Any pictures?

    Their are 2 types: Hair and stringing. It depends on which one of these you have.

    Most Stringing can be fixed by Lowering printing temp, Increasing Retraction distance or Increasing travel speed. I would increase the retraction distance as a last resort as its good to keep these short. Make sure the bowden tube doesn't move on retracts first before increasing it as that may be a cause for needing the extra retract length.

    Hairy Prints can be fixed by changing to a different color or material. Printing hotter or cleaning the Nozzle.

     

    Hairy prints

    Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Hope this reaches you all in good health! I have a question about some of my prints. A few of the prints have what I'll call "hairy prints". Meaning that there are small pieces of material elongated like a hair that are stuck to say a base layer laid down. I've tried to modify the retraction settings but have not had much luck. What might be causing this? Thoughts anyone?

    Thanks in advance!
