  1. Found my rods frame material and bearings, Now i'm just trying to figure out firmware for um2. Has anyone built their own Um2 that can help guide me through the use of the marlin firmware from github please and thank you.

  2.  

    Hey, this looks great. It would be a fun project. Did you end up buying a printer or getting this one finished?

     

    actually i am waiting for 6mm aleminum composite sheet to make it another one...

    it will be better quality than the original...

    What i need to finish are:

    -x,y z and feeder motors and feeder mechanism

    -Heated bed and 4mm aleminum part underneath of it.

    -motherboard and LCD unit. ( knoob and knoobhousing is problem for me to find. they will be 3d printed by someone

    -whole extruder unit

    And of course 4  set of plastic slider

    complicated thing is the motors... i need to find polou motors which seems close to original ones...

     

    What are the dimensions of the composite sheet you are buying? I'm intrestles on making my own and it would help if I knew what I needed

  3. 1. The Ultimaker 2+ is really expensive and you can get a printer with better quality under $1000.

    2. If something breaks, it can be hard to find the part you need.

    I think you should try getting an Ultimaker original or, if you really like the 2 you can try building your own. I am currently on my way doing that. There are assembly manuals and places you can find firmware for when you finsh building. there is even a BOM for the parts you need and you caould make the ultimaker 2.

  4. Well i've finally decided i want to build an ultimaker and discovered the Bom on Github. However, the bill of materials calls for a set of smooth rods. I have been looking everywhere and the only ones i have found are some on aliexpress and DO NOT want to buy from that site. Does anyone know where i can get smooth rods. Right now i plan to just get some slightly longer rods and cut them to length. The rod diameters are 12mm (348mm long) ,8mm (337mm long) and 6mm (320mm long)

  5. I've always wanted an ultimaker 2 printer but the price of it was too much for me. I've see clones of the printer but the sites they are on don't have a lot of info on them. So here's my question: where can I get ultimaker 2 parts like hardware and electronics? It would be very helpfull if anyone knows.
