Does anybody has a stl or the dimensions of the new axis alignment tools wat comes with the extrusion upgrade kit ?

i want to use the tools to hold the axes firm when doin a cold pull

@Sandervg any chance to get that?

Cheers!

While those STLs would be cool to have available, you don't really need them for this. Just move the head to a corner of the machine and you'll have to go full on HULK SMASH! to bend the axes.

i know .....but i love to make some tools

[SandervG 1,521]

I'll see if I can collect them

I did not have them, but unmounted and remounted the head recently.

So I went ahead, measured and created them myself. Fits nicely.

looking good ! Always handy to have them i think

I guess that model fills the same need. Does that solve your request?

[gizmo999 11]

yes but if you have the Original file for it i still want that

There's also the axle alignment tools, would be good to have that model, too.

Hello to all.

According to you when he is the right time to change the belts and axes of UM2 printer?

There is no rule or timing related to printing hours worked?

One of mine fell off the table and broke one of the prongs....so my 2+ upgrade had to make do with one!

Your Ultimaker fell of the table?? oh boy!

You can consider replacing a belt if you start to see more slack in them. If you frequently see black 'dust' under your motors it could also be an indication to replace your belt at some point. The replacing will not remove the dust, it is parts of your belts rubbing against your pulley.. but it can affect the quality of the belt. You should take a look at the alignment of your rods, when there is a lot of dust.

This is not related to printing hours.

No no no no.....I dropped one of the alignment pieces and it broke when it hit the floor. (I then had to rescue it from a kitten who thought it was a new toy)
