Guide: Printing PEEK (PolyEther Ether Ketone) on the UM2.

Posted (edited) · Guide: Printing PEEK (PolyEther Ether Ketone) on the UM2.

Hi All;

I got an UM2 printing PEEK well enough to complete my Masters research project.

I received great help and advice on these forums and hopefully posting the results here helps the community.

Here's a link to the system development:

and here's a link to the whole masters:

https://drive.google.com/a/tcd.ie/file/d/0B5czN7u52TZnWE1vRlBPSFEwWGM/view

Thanks to everyone who gave me help and advice here.

I also helped set up a Rapid Prototyping lab with 5 UM2s during my final year for students to use freely; was a great success, good little printers!

Mike

hi! do you have the HEX file so that I can upload on my UM2+ to make it possible to print PEEK?

I am having some trouble uploading my version of the edited firmware (too many log errors).

mchughmp, Thank you for being so active on this platform. I am not able to access your google drive. Are these documents posted somewhere else?

 

Congratulations on your masters!

      • 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.
