Posted (edited) · Project for changing Bondtech QR to VQR

I love my Bondtech QR3.0.   But myself and some others who've become accustomed to the quick and easy release mechanism in Robert's feeder are not completely satisfied with the stock QR3.0 spring-loaded screw adjustment mechanism.  The screw works, but it could be better.   So I started working with ideas on how to make a faster release that provided enough pressure.  

v1.1 has been in use for a few days on both of my UM2s.  So far they've been working well, but some improvements are needed, such as easy tension adjustments and maybe a guide for the cords where they pass around the bowden tube.   Some manipulation is required each time when latching with this version to make sure the cords stay off to the sides, not touching the tube.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (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.
