  1. Hello,

     

    I have a Ultimaker Original with a 2.1.4 board. I put a UM2 head on it and the fans don't spin all the way on full power. Checked the main fans and the voltage I getting is 6V, which is half or fourth of what I should. The hotend fan isnt working either when the temp goes above 5V. I flashed the firmware with that from the custom builder (bUltimaker builder) and also tried to compile one of my own. Not sure how to fix it and wondering if there was something that would work. Thanks!

  2. Hello,

     

    I have an Ultimaker Original. I've usually have used the bUltimaker builder for the firmware, but the site is having problems and since it's an older version of Marlin, I thought I would try compiling the firmware myself. I really appreciated the z-offset that was included in the bUltimaker firmware, so I tried finding something like it with the new one. Mesh Bed leveling was the best I could find, and I enabled it. However, I am having difficulty getting the nozzle to offset from the top limit switch like in the old firmware and the Z doesn't seem to be moving when I'm printing now through octoprint. The gcode on the sd card still has it squished, but it moves the z-height every layer like it should. I've looked around and I can't find too much on the subject or understand what I did wrong.

     

    I have it homing at the bottom and all endstops are always enabled. Bed size is 210 x 210 x 205 (z is probably more like 202.5), custom made HB, and Reprap Full display.

     

     

    Here is my starting g-code:

    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 Z2.5 F9000 ;move the platform down 2.5mm

    M140 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} ;Start heating bed to temp

    M109 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} ;Start extruder heating and wait to reach material temp before proceeding

    M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} ;Ensures bed heats to temp before proceeding if it hasn't already

    G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length

    G1 F200 E15 ;extrude 15 mm of feed stock

    G1 Z5 F9000 ;move the platform down 5mm

    G92 E0 ;zero the extruded length

    G1 F200 E10 ;extrude 10 mm of feed stock

    G1 Y50 F9000

    ;Put printing message on LCD screen

    M117 Printing...

     

    Here is the configuration file for the firmware. Had to put it as a zip.

    Got the printer fully working now with ultipanel controller, hot end temperature works perfect with amplifier e3d pt100 board, resistor R23 cut and firmware with sensor 20, same as um2.

     

    I would like to have the full graphics if I can sort the firmware.

    Looking to do this on my board for both the first and second temp sensor. How did you get the connection to work? Did you have to use a different ground, or once the resistor was cut, the direct connection worked for the temp to the e3d amplifier board?

  4. Man! I'm having the same problem on my original, and I found this post. It was what I was suspecting since on the X the lines are off by a bit no matter the size of the print and its close to the same. Was this the same pully for the UM2 or was it a different one? If so, what did you end up doing to the e-steps?

  5. Hello,

     

    I see this happening with a lot of my printers and was wondering why Cura does this around letter and especially holes. Seems like it extrudes or flows more on layers with holes or text. As a result, you see bands around the object when this happens. Is there a way to stop Cura from doing this, or is it automatic? image.thumb.png.329e49385356f80afb2ed13dc9c8e03b.png
