Ultimaker 2 Heated bed is taking forever to heat.

Posted · Ultimaker 2 Heated bed is taking forever to heat.

The heated bed on my UM2 takes a long time to heat up. It is usually about 20 minutes to get to 95C, then an extra 10 minutes to get to 100C. It never surpasses 101 even after hours. I have heard that the early model printers, wich mine is, had loose build plate connector wires, I tried giving the wires a shake but it didn't help. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
