Ultimaker 2 - need to run the feeder motor to run in reverse

· Ultimaker 2 - need to run the feeder motor to run in reverse
Yes you have lots of choices.
1) UM2+ firmware will work as that goes the other way. You will have to adjust steps/mm most likely.
2) You can install tinker marlin - which I love - and which lets you toggle all feeder directions and adjust steps/mm in the menu.
3) You can swap the two wires in either (but not both) twisted pair. You just use a pin and push down on the angled piece of metal that holds the pin in and slide the pin out, then rebend that tiny piece of metal so it will start working again, swap the 2 wires and re-insert.
You will probably need to change the steps/mm regardless. I don't know if the um2+ firmware supports that or not although there is an gcode to set steps/mm. Followed by M500 to save it so it still works after power cycle.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.

So it might be easiest to do #2 above.

I need to invert the wires of the feeder. Do you know if there's a video tutorial? I'm afraid to break the connector. Thanks!
