Hi,
Printer: Ultimaker 2+ Extended (I purchased a 2 Extended with an upgrade kit)
Firmware: vers 2.4x
I've had this printer since 2016 and have experienced no issues until recently.
I only print branded Ultimaker PLA filament. Slice in Cura and just print on defaults. That has worked for almost 7 years ! But...
My prints recently began under extruding. No change in printer location or ambient room temperature. I have:
1. Replaced the bowden tube.
2. Replaced the teflon collar.
3. Stripped and cleaned feeder - it was fine as tension was set to light setting anyway.
4. Tried old and brand new filament.
Now the nozzle is not hot enough to melt the filament. If I set the nozzle temp to 240 then hold filament against it - nothing. Barely even marks it. Obviously I cannot get filament through the print head.
I'm thinking this is likely a temp sensor issue, but don't want to spend any more money without some degree of certainty.
Curious if others have similar experience?
Thanks!
