[Feeder reversed after extrusion kit upgrade]

Strange. It is now working. What I did was having a factory reset, then upgrade to Ultimaker 2 Extended latest software with an older version of Cura (v15.06.03), then using the latest version of Cura (v3.4.1), all Windows 10... wola! I think this is the way to fixing this problem for now.

 

One thing to take note of: Upon both upgrades of the firmware requires leveling of the buildplate. This signifies all of the upgrades are fresh.

 

Hope it helps!

Hello, I recently installed the extrusion kit upgrade on my UM2 and the feeder now seems reversed. I read on other posts that this is related to needing to update the firmware to UM2+. I tried both UM2 and UM2+ firmware but the feeder still rotates in the wrong direction leading me to think it’s not updating the firmware properly. Is there a way of checking what firmware is installed on my printer to be sure or can I specify can I download the UM2+ firmware and specify it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Yes, I am having the exact problem, too.

[XT Issues]

I agree. Start printing with PLA is much easier. I am not sure about 70 degrees this high with XT, while my very workable setting with average PLA is 210 degrees with a heatbed of 60 degrees.

My last sharing is that small objects of say finger-size in height and less than an inch in diameter appears very sensitive to heat, even to a degree or 2 of adjustments differs a great lot.

Hope my 2 cents helps.
