    Hallo,

     

    nachdem ich jetzt wochenlang rumprobiert habe, habe ich es jetzt endlich geschafft meinen Ultimaker 2 mit Dualhead zum laufen zu bringen.

     

    Ich bin super froh, dass es funktioniert

     

    Danke!!!

    Kannst du mir vielleicht helfen. Ich bekomme das einfach nicht hin. Wie hast du das geschafft?

    Frankly, from my point of view, the last picture showing how you found it on Monday is very puzzling, and make me say that someone is responsible for it.

     

    I mean, if the printer would have moved due to vibrations, it would have landed in it's front side like a brick, splat, and that's it.

     

    I don't see a simple fall on the front be able to bend the spool handle like that, make the metallic cable cover just pop out and also how is it even possible that the spools ended up so far from the printer? I mean, the spools are not made of rubber, they don't bounce if you throw them on the ground, they just go 'splat' and stay down.

     

    I can completely understand your skepticism. I 'm also more of a sekeptical person. BUT nobody was there over the weekend. I interviewed everybody who has a key for the science department. But nobody has been at school. Though it somehow hurts that most seem to think that I'm making up a story or trying to blame somebody else. This makes me feel as if I'm putting out fake news and as if I'm lying. I only described what happened and asked if anybody has had any similar experience. I only wanted to know if somebody knows how much spare parts are.

    The spool handle is not bent, it has just come out of its socket. And the metallic cable cover was only clipped in, which came out when the spool handle came out of its socket. Regarding the spools: it seems quite reasonable that they ended up where they ended up. If you put an open rucksack on your back filled with books and jump off a higher position and land on your hands and feet at the same time (more likely on your hands first and then on your feet). See what happens with those books. Will they stay in the rucksack? Which direction will they move?
    Maybe these two pictures showing the damage on the top front  side will bring more light into where the UM3 landed first.

     

    Does the UM3 have a secret suicide mode? Just kidding.

     

    Thanks four your insights anyway and for your help. I wished I had some video footage of the incident.

  3. This is a view of the table where the UM3 was situated. The table size is 90 cm x 75 cm. The Ultimaker has always been positiones in the middle. The power cord which you can see in Picture IMG_363.jpg is plugged into the socket on the rear wall (not in the picture). It is not possible for anyone to trip over the cord.

     

    Picture IMG_0537.jpg shows how I found the printer on Monday morning first thing.

    I honestly cannot think of anything that would cause the machine to move off a table unless it was right on a leading edge and on slope. To make sure, you could put a rubber pad on the surface of your table.

    Hallo kmanstudios.

     

    That's what puzzles me, too. We also have an UM2. I printer some rubbery shoes for it. I never had any issue like with the UM2. I think I should have done the same for the UM2. That might have prevented it.

    For the cause I would as well look into: vandalism, pets, kids playing and accidentally hitting it, someone who got stuck behind the power cord and pulled the printer off the table (and dares not admit it), and similar? Or maybe the spool got stuck on something (e.g. on a book, a ridge, a heavy box), and when unwinding filament while printing, it sort of rolled the printer off the table, like a cart? For the nozzle covered in PLA, maybe this could also have happened as a result of the crash, the models coming loose by the shock, but the printer continueing printing anyway? Just guessing...

     

    :)

    I started the print on Friday afternoon. The cleaners had already finished and left. We don't have any pets running around in our school. And all the kids were home for the weekend. The printer is placed in a special room which needs a separate key. Everybody who is able to get into the room said that they had not been there over the weekend. I might post a picture of the room tomorrow.

    Hi 3D@AHF, welcome to our community. 

    The 3D printer itself was crashed on the floor? I can not imagine that it did that from itself honestly. 

    If the print head was covered in PLA, this is most likely the result of a print which got loose from the build plate and got dragged along with the moving print head. 

    Why it got loose? Could be that the bed was dirty, too cold, no adhesive, not level. 

     

    Do you by chance have a camera in the room where the printer was, to see what happened so it fell on the floor? Would be interesting to see.

    Hi Sander,

    The answer to yourquestion (line 2) is: Yes, but it did.

    Regarding the print head covered in PLA. I agree. The reason for this could be that the printed object came loose. Why it got loose? I clean the bed before every print. I use the glue stick that came with it. I used the autolevel.

    Sadly there is no camera in the room. If there was I would have posted the video on Youtube and earned enough money to buy a dozen 3D printers. :-)

  7. Hi there,

     

    At the end of last year I was granted permission to buy a new Ultimaker 3 for our school. My students designed different things and we printed them. Some things were pretty large so the printer had to print for more than a school day. One morning I found the printer crashed on the floor. The two print heads were totally covered in PLA. Although the UM3 was placed firmly on a big table it moved itself off the table. Has any else had such an experience?
    We also have a UM2. Moving around has never been an issue with it.

     

    Does anyone know how much the replacement of the two print cores, the two side covers and glass plate costs? And where I can get the parts. I contacted my reseller, but they couldn't or didn't want to help me.
