It certainly looks like there's been some heating from the blackened look of the screw head. What's going on there? Is the cable even fully seated in the terminal? There's a lot of copper showing.

If I were you I'd snip off a centimeter of all the cables and reinstall them. I'd also do my best to clean the terminal block to ensure a proper connection. It's true, the cables aren't supposed to be tinned. That's not to say it won't work with tinned ones.

Would it help to add ferrules to each connection? (Specially the heater?)

Hmm.. it might? Is there a lot of stress on the wires in the UMO?

    Afaik the umo/umo+/um2 (old model) are the same, a clamp to avoid stress from cable moving upside/down. My oldest umo+ is 2 years, so far everything is ok (crossing fingers). Just wondering since UM changed the connection to the bed on um2+ and newer models to a smaller/different clamp system. Afaik latest models now use the same that um3 uses for cores, making a solderless connection.

    the wire didn't feel loose but it looks like the contact wasn't great. Probably due to heat the grey cover melted...

    I will clean it as much as possible, looks dark inside, and retighten everything.

    So I've had a similar problem, now my control board is less useful than a piece of toast to someone who is gluten intolerant.  I purchased the said MOSFET pack of 20 smallest amt available, but no good.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should control my bed now that the boards are discontinued.

    120€!!!???

    For that price I would just get a duet3d and make the printer muuuuuch better...

    So I take it by this comment that the duet3d boards will drive the heated bed as well as the UMO?!

    Sem's like it will do, but will probably need new firmware...

    What I am planing to try on on of my UMO is to modify it to run 24V, use a powerfull enoug PSU (Mean Well RSP-320-24) and run the heated bed directly from the ultimaker mainboard 1.5.7. not 100% sure if it works have still to do some search about it... But I asume the if Amedee is abable to run the kit trough the 1.5.7 kit there is a chance that my DIY solution could work (but i am not an electronics engineer)

     

    But first I have to make my first UMO work well enough.

     

    p.s: Heated bek kits for UMO are very hard or impossible to find now, it is sold out everywhere...

    Duet3D doesn't work like Marlin boards, so to change the entire 'firmware' you just write come gcode settings on the config.gcode on the sd card of the board, and done. This means, that you can make your printer corexy, use one heater, redirect the heaters, sensors, change acceleration, max temp, min, everything just from a config.gcode with the orders, you can set the max, min x/y/x all there

     

    For example (and if you have any doubt as what makes what, duet3d has a very big help page with info about every code)

     

    Mind that this is MY config, for a corexy machine that uses 3 endstops and Z endstop is on the top, like old umo and umo+ (make's stuff easier, but if you buy a Z sensor like btouch you can just use that as homing stuff)

     

    Also the duet3D is a very big makers community, so they can give you help, not step by step, but help after you start having questions about what sensor works better, etc.

     

    And yes, duet3D runs my bed and hotends one board, one psu, and lots of cables :D!

        Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!

      • 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.
