Have ordered my kit from 3D GBIRE, official UM sales partner for GB and Ireland (not UK and Ireland? anyhoo) and have to wait 2 weeks or so for delivery, as they have no stock. This is frustrating as firstly, others already have the upgrade kit and secondly, official sales partners should be first to be stocked, surely? It's only down the road from where I live - I can drive there in 25 minutes and pick it up! (If they had one in).
Additionally, the Netherlands is only over there *points in an easterly direction*; I could get on the ferry, drive to Geldermalsen and be back in time for tea the same day. May just do that....
Anyway, even though I have fitted the Olsson block, I am happy for the upgrade kit with the new head, if for nothing more than to lower the noise of the heatsink fan on the head. I don't know if many others have the problem, but mine sounds like a turbine starting up, which makes for a much louder machine. I even went so far as to fit a thermal switch to cut the fan in and out at 40°C, to reduce the noise of the prints that finish in the middle of the night.
This is just a small vent of frustration which will all be forgotten once I have the upgrade kit.

I mean, the lever works just fine to change materials, it's just a bit more inconvenient than the UMO design or my variant of it. Maybe I should hurry so I can be the first with a re-design this time

No fair
We haven't even had a chance to try it yet.
Would be funny if there was an upgrade design before most people get the kit.
