[UM2 Frame .dxf Files]

Ultimaker 2 frame panels are designed to be milled, not laser cut.

3D-step files can be found on the Github page.

Any news on this? @@SandervG

UM2 panels are milled. DXF files usually don't work for milling, you need a STEP or IGES file for that.

DXF files for the UM original are here link

[Replacement pulleys for UM2?]

I've bought pulleys from RobotDigg before and they were good quality. I believe they produce them themselves. Of cource you could buy pulleys from SKF or other big brands but they are far more expensive and they dont have the double GT2 20 pulley.

I have had no luck with fin ding rods in canada. I'm thinking about cutting Rods on a chopsaw or something else. How accurate can i get the cut on the saw?

 

The length of the rods doesn't really matter. They can easily vary 1mm in length. The important thing is the diameter. It should be between 6H6-9.

Thank you guys for those informations!

I'm thinking ahead because two of my axes, 6mm / 320mm long, had rusted recently. I sanded them, put more oil but the printed head has made some noise when sliding for some positions. I didn`t notice influence in print quality yet but if the noise continues after cleaning again I will have to exchange these axes. Unfortunately we do not have Ultimakers representatives in Latin America and will have to opt for an alternative solution.

So, i found an add of a "Cnc Router Axis Linear Guide" and it have those especifications:

- Rectified shaft 6mm;

- steel 1045;

- tolerence H7 (-0,012).

- 1 meter long

need to cut it

Anyone know if it`s a good quality stuff? will it meet my needs?

 

6H7 tolerance is good enough. Make sure the rods are hardened and smoothed. I guess they probably are.

[Anyone tried Blit It?]

Not being rude, but I think the models you can buy (as of right now) in this program are quite expensive.

Is this meant to be like a sort of marketplace where designers can sell their designs?

[Octoprint & pre printing options ?]

If you set Cura to RepRap (Marlin/Sprinter) it should generally work. Make sure it uses something like this as the start gcode:

 

G21 ;metric values

G90 ;absolute positioning

M82 ;set extruder to absolute mode

M107 ;start with the fan off

G28 X0 Y0 ;move X/Y to min endstops

G28 Z0 ;move Z to min endstops

G1 Z15.0 F{travel_speed} ;move the platform down 15mm

G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length

G1 F200 E3 ;extrude 3mm of feed stock

G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length again

G1 F{travel_speed}

M117 Printing... ;Put printing message on LCD screen

 

Alternatively you can also add this to the beginning of your .gcode file.

If you are using Cura 2.1, check your machine's .json file found in "C:\Program Files\Cura 2.1\resources\machines".

Hope this helps.

[Ultimaker 2 Acrylic Panels CNC files?]

You can download the files from the Ultimaker Github (link). However, the acrylic side panels of the Ultimaker 2 can't be cut. They need to be milled.
