Where to buy a new UM2 PSU ?

[emilio2 2]

Hi.

Where can I buy a new PSU brick for my old UM2?

It has started to make a 'fleeeer' noise, the display blinks and the leds too. So it seems something is not going well in the PSU.

I have found the Ultimaker store does not sell any original printer parts. Should I start looking on ebay  ?

Hi, Emilio. We have them available here: https://fbrc8.com/collections/ultimaker-2-spare-parts/products/power-adapter-24v-220w

 

Are you in the US? If you're not in the US, you may have another reseller closer, which would save you on shipping costs.

Try aliexpress and ebay and amazon.  These supplies are expensive but I think it's worth it to get the one from meanwell.

 

There are two that work:

GST220A24-R7B
GS220A24-R7B

 

I find the one without the "T" to be more reliable - it puts out a little more power and is less likely to reboot for no apparent reason (but the reason is the printer went over the power limit for a second or two).

 

On the other hand, the power supply you have now, may be as good as new if you just let it reboot.  I have had these power supplies get into strange software states and if you power it completely off (unplug the cord and turn on the printer to drain it - otherwise it might take days to drain it) and then turn it back on again it can be as good as new.

In addition to @gr5 I recommend you get a genuine Meanwell PSU again - independent of where you buy it. And I never had a case where the GST made problems.

Regarding GST versus GS2...due to changes in the law, I don't believe it's legal to import the GS2 ones anymore (if you're in the US). GST is the new standard for the part.
