The 'Third Fan' Connection

Hi All

I have one of the very first UM2's shipped to the UK January 2014 and thus I have a very early board inside (serial 1003003835 0200).

I've just upgraded with the '+' kit and on installing realised I unplugged the 'Third Fan' from the board without making a note of where it connected.. (face palm)

I do not have a 5 volt connector on the centre of my board as the install instructions suggest.

I have in the back of my mind it was connected to the jumper block ICSP1 EXT/IO to the right of the board but I may be wrong - I connected it to the FAN 19-24V connector - assuming that is where I disconnected it before realising my mistake and had continuous material clog above the hot end as there was no cooling - took me a while to realise the fan was not working!

Can anyone tell me where to connect the 5V fan (blue and orange cable) on the board I have?

Any help would be appreciated!

Matt

    Ok 2.1.1 Schematics are on:

    https://github.com/Ultimaker/Ultimaker2/blob/master/1091_Main_board_v2.1.1_(x1)/Main%20Board%20V2.1.1.pdf

    This old post explains a bit where you can get 5V

    Btw, you already had one before, maybe you made a photo before unpluging stuff? Because that could be the easy way to replug it.

    The EXP3 pins seems to give 5V and ground. Maybe someone more experienced can confirm this

    Check against the PDF of the board to confirm the +/neg it's right.

    Hi Neotko, a photo would have been a good idea... as someone who reverse engineers products, it's something I normally do hense the facepalm! Watched the instruction video and thought it was so simple I didn't need to photo - without realising my board was different.

    Thank you very much for the very prompt reply. I will check the PDF and try J26

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
