I installed the new 25w heater with the Olsson block, and I've had successful prints with no problems. Using PLA. Haven't tried any other material yet.

Heater installed and running. Running a test print right now. Everything appears to be working just fine. It may take a little longer to heat up than the old print head, but so far so good.

Actually we're in Middleton (Madison). I just received it today. I realized that it probably would have made more sense to get the larger wattage. I'm installing it now.

Yeah, I'm in WI. With the holidays in sure it's been delayed. I have the tracking number, but usps has terrible tracking. I'll let you know when it's been received. Happy xmas!

I have heard about the firmware with a temperature increase timeout. Can the code for this be modified to either disable, or increase the heating time?

Valid point. I'm thinking a reduced fan speed, and slower extrusion speed should prevent any premature cooling. Hopefully I find out today when the part arrives.

Any considerations for installing this?

We placed the order on the 17th ( this is for our work printer) . We should receive it today. I'll let you know how it works out once I get it installed.

Thanks. The order should have been placed today. fbrc8 is all out anyway.

Thanks for the reply. I tested the heater, and I got nothing. It is possible that the wires were damaged when I was pulling the thermo couple through. Looks like I need a new one.

Hi, I just installed the Olsson block that came with our Ultimaker 2 Extended. We have ran a few parts though the printer before changing to the Olsson block. After having damaged the thermo couple attempting to remove it, I replaced it with the spare that came with the system. I'm currently getting a "Heater Error", with no detectible heat coming from the head. Please advise. Thank you.
