We have a UM2 Extended (not the + version, the first one), and we recently changed the heater cartridge because we got a "heater error". I heard it is fairly typical after lots of print hours, which we have done, so no problem there.
However, after the heater replacement we noticed that the motherboard case gets quite hot, and wanted to ask if that is normal. We never checked the temperatures before so we don't know the normal operating temperatures.
We measured 48 ºC on the outside of the electronics case and 67 ºC on the case of the stepper motors. That was with a calibrated contact probe we have so these should be accurate measurements.

Hello,
We have a UM2 Extended (not the + version, the first one), and we recently changed the heater cartridge because we got a "heater error". I heard it is fairly typical after lots of print hours, which we have done, so no problem there.
However, after the heater replacement we noticed that the motherboard case gets quite hot, and wanted to ask if that is normal. We never checked the temperatures before so we don't know the normal operating temperatures.
We measured 48 ºC on the outside of the electronics case and 67 ºC on the case of the stepper motors. That was with a calibrated contact probe we have so these should be accurate measurements.
Thank's in advance,
