In general the motors are no issue, they can handle a lot of heat. Exception is the feeder motor, here the motor can transfer the heat to the filament in the feeder causing melting/grinding. This is solved in the UM2+ due to the indirect connection from motor to filament, I placed the feeder+motor outside of the box.
In my experience with a full enclosed UM2 (with E3Dv6 + ABS), the cooling of the hot end is a bigger issue when the heat inside the box gets to much (+/- >50c ?). I solved it by simply drilling a few holes in my top cover...
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
