  1. Hi guys, having upgraded from an Ultimaker 2+ to the ultimake S3 i was very surprised as to the poor on screen displays, yellow text on white background to say "Warning hot surface", and when swapping out filament or nozzle, white text on grey background, um not verty visable , so a user defined colour page would be useful so you can colourise the text so it can actually be readable from more than 10cm away. Come on Ultimaker surely the UX you've used can be made better. I've also attached a UPS to the printed to prevent failed prints from power outs, as the S3 can't do the same as a Creality $400 machine. ?? And yes more info on screen, of the prints progress, even a supplementary set of screen over and above the ones on the machine. I undersatnd is a reliable ( unless there is a power cut ) professioanl machine but knowledge of layer height, nozzle temp etc on a suplimentary screen can't be all that taxing for the software developers. Sorry its a semi rant, but yes guys a lot could be done to improve this $4000 professioanl printer, without any hardware mods. Please Mr moderator pass this onto to Ultimakers software developers, regardless whether you allow it to be on the forum
  2. I have ben having a recurring problem with under extrusion, and grinding from the UM2+ and after many frustrating hours, and failed prints, i discovered that the small M3 Nut in the extruded has stripped its threads and so the tension on any flames was incorrect, so causing the under extrusion and on thicker filaments (3mm) excessive grinding. If any other user has had this problem then i'd like to hear, or alternatively if any user is getting these problems, just swap out the M3 nut and screw from the extruder and hopefully problem solved. hope this helps anybody with similar problems
