Posted · Speed difference between two UM2 machines

Hi

I have 2 UM2 machines, one bought spring 2014 and the second bought autumn 2015.

Both have the same firmware but the latest model is printing/moving ~50 % faster than the older.

I have reset both printers and checked all settings. The gcode file is the same, and has been tested with the same SD card.

I have no idea what causes the problem, but this issues does that I can't print with the same settings.

I've also done the extrusion test for the machines, and the older model can print 3 mm3/s fine, but the newer fails the test right away.

Both with new nozzles/PTFE couplers (And the iRoberts feeder and spool holder)

Any help on how to fix this issue - namely the speed difference.

      • 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.
