Posted · Maximum weight of spool holder

I am looking a buying a 3d printer for my robotics team and have chosen the Ultimaker 3 Extended. my question is since we will be doing a lot of printing and to constantly have to replace the 1kg spools would be a pain, what is the maximum weight that the spool holder can weigh on the Ultimaker 3 Extended. Thanks

    Don't know weight limit but you can put the spool on the floor. But it will take days to go through a 1kg spool. There are many things that are a "pain" with 3d printing and having only 1kg per spool is not one of them.

    I recommend you get high quality filament such as UM brand or colorFabb. Some of the cheap chinese filaments on ebay will cause you MUCH more pain than having to change spools every few days.

      • 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.
