There are source files available?? That would have been so much easier haha

So I wanted a door similar to the S3 but did not want to drill holes into my UM3 or use glue/anything permanent. So I got strongish double sided tape that is easy to remove and design a hinge mechanism and printed that in silver PETG. I CNC machined the door part from transparent Acrylic.

Doing quite the interesting print right now. A round shell with a translucent part and a black part. It needs a certain thickness but shouldn't be 100% infill or I assume it won't be transparent enough. So I sliced with triple layer outer perimeter (default I believe) and no infill. Yet on the bottom and top of the top parts it still shows infill as that is part of the top/bottom of the tiny part. Black part can be 100% infill. So I want to get rid of the yellow bottom/top infill of the middle parts but I don't want the full piece to have no top/bottom infill or it will be open. How would I fix this?

For the sake of this thread an update. The guide by gr5 worked. I had to repartition and reflash, after that the recovery SD worked. UM3 Partition sizes were exactly the same as in the guide. I used the eMMC version (the zip file, not the 7z) which worked and booted fine (maybe I have the eMMC version or the eMMC version work also for NAND? No clue, it worked). The front board made an annoying beeping sound while running jessie, so I disconnected that. Watch a tutorial on how to replace the display and unplug the same cable to get rid of that while repartitioning (it gets really annoying) Other then that it worked amazing and was a really doable procedure. Many thanks to gr5 and everyone here on the forum, you are amazing.

Where does the cable go on a ultimaker 3? It has the double red boards and not the white one like in the pictures (which I assume is a s5). I can't actually find the 3 pins on the board? Or is it the white board on the other side? Edit: found it and the cables works. It looks like it is issue 2 with mounting errors. Very excited to see if we can fix it. Thanks a lot!!!

Yes, mistyped that on my recent comment. Thank you! That is a different image then the one makerpoint sent me. That was a 5.2 while this is a 5.3. Will give this a try.

Thank you! I used a 16gb SD card so I ordered a 4gb class 10 card just to be sure. I also ordered a Serial F cable from olimex. The images that are fixed under problem #1 only work for an S5 and not for an 3 correct? If I get the cable and software working then read what it says and hope I then understand what the issue is? To be honest I have used raspberry pi's and arduino's but most of this goes over my head.

Yes I contacted Makerpoint (my reseller) and got a recovery.img and followed their instructions (same instructions as in the thread). It showed the ultimaker logo and then it started installing new firmware. But it is stuck on the installing firmware 2 minutes left. I cut the power after 45 minutes and tried again, then with another SD card but still goes straight to the 2 minutes left installing screen without any progress. In the instructions is also something on the LED's. But my ultimaker has LED Q and R on. and T off. But T should be slowly blinking or when it is finished Q should be blinking. So that might be a clue to what component is not working? edit: also many thanks for the help!

3 weeks ago I installed a new firmware update on my Ultimaker 3. I recently did a long print of 9 hours that I left overnight. Print had some trouble on the final layer with extrusion (did some grinding) but nothing too weird. Removed the print like normal and turned the printer off. Now I try to turn on the printer and it does nothing. Checked the cable and power but these all work (the fan turns on and gets power) but no lights/display is not working. Attached the printer to a monitor (removed the bottom part so I can access the board) and it only shows a linux pinguin with "U-boot 2016.05-ultimaker-some number and a date from 2018". I found some threats here on using SD cards for a recovery.img but most recovery.img links are broken. And those issues were during failed firmware updates, but it printed fine for weeks. So any idea what it might be??
