[Screw hardware for UM3]

Thanks for the help. I ended up unscrewing the screws from the side of the frame, but only two at a time, so I don't think I've messed with the rigidity of the frame... (I didn't remove any panels!).

I'll post pictures of it when i'm done, but basically I created a barral hinge and mounted the hinge to the frame by buying 20mm M3 screws (manually tightened the screws as to not over tighten). I connected via the upper two screws for one hinge and the lower two screws for the lower hinge. So far it's working out well.

I made the door with 1/2" acrylic, which I realized afterwards was overkill, but it looks really nice. I mounted the hinges in a way that the acrylic closes flush with the front panel.

Next step is the upper enclosure (1/4" acrylic for this one...)

I want to build a door for my UM3 and I'm trying to find the screw size. I found posts for the UM2+ saying that they're M3 screws. Anyone know if they are the same for the UM3? Anyone know the screw lengths for the front panels? (so I know how much longer to get to affix my door).

Anything I should be aware of before I go removing screws? (I'm gonna do it one at a time, carefully)

 

99.71% (roughly) of the screws on the UMO and UM2 are 3mm standard pitch also known as M3 screws. And they are all button head with the 2mm hex screwdriver style.

[Checks IP address on printer again to make sure i'm not a dumb-ass]  Yup, correct IP address.  I'm not in DEV mode.  Do I need to be to use this feature?  If so, what is DEV mode?

[system > Network > Connection status] is how I checked it.

So they sent me the Wifi board along with a Y stop switch (which broke) when I mentioned that the wifi was spotty.  I can replace it and see if it helps.

Side note, is there a way to send prints via WiFi without using Cura?  I'm currently using Simplify3D.

EDIT: I googled Dev mode.

Tried that and it didn't work.

EDIT:  The printer is on but not currently printing anything if that matters.

EDIT2: The connection is spotty when connecting to Cura. One time i'll send a print over Wifi and it'll work just fine, another time i'll have to try to send it 5 times... Ultimaker sent me a new Wifi board, so I can replace that if you think that is the issue. I'm not convinced it is, because I can access the printer via the IP address, but what do I know...

Whenever I try to pull up the printers camera (http://192.168.1.234/?action=stream) it redirects me to the setup page. I've already setup the printer and gave it a name and all. I can view it in Cura.

Have I missed something? I'd really like to be able to view the print progress without being at the printer.

From my understanding, I have to be at home (where the printer is) to be able to do this. Is there a way to view it on my phone from anywhere with coverage? I don't know a whole lot about Networking so you might have to ELI5 for me... or point me to a good resource and I can learn how to do it.

Thanks.

Multiple prints it is then!

Thanks for the quick reply!

[Changing a print core, mid print.]

Has anyone tried switching print cores while the printer is paused? I'd like to swap the BB print core for an AA and print with a different material at a specific height.

Is that even possible? I'm not sure if I even have access to those controls while it's paused...
