Looks great. Could you describe what mods you made to the UM3 head? Pictures? I am wondering if a 3D printed head with 3rd party cores would work?
Cheers

Hello, the pic above is the only modification I did to the head assembly.
I just removed all the chips ( black IC's) and all the SMT resistors, then added some jumper wires between the CORE connectors and the main head cable header.
The sheet of paper in the pic above shows the pin mapping.
It works good !
You can totally 3D print a head etc. I chose to use the OEM head and PCB because of the mechanical design for the Cores to sit properly, raise up and down etc. i.e I did it the expensive way lol.
@superdave42 I was contemplating this last night and found this post now seeing you have done it! I have 2 x UM2s I’m planing on converting to this setup
do you have any further info on wiring... I’m wondering if you managed to retain the white 10wire print head cable? Or if you managed to utelise a common power supply or ground between any individual heaters and temp sensors?
would be nice being able to use the 10pin connector to interface everything with no more than 10 wires.

Cool, Ultimaker would not offer this as an upgrade. It's a super hack lol. just fun for the sake of modding.
