Hi all,

 

I have an Ultimaker 2 Extended that has been upgraded to the + module (so I have the Ultimaker 2+ feeder on mechanism installed).

But even though the printer only did about 350 hours of printing I noticed that I sometimes had layers with gaps in them. This disappeared when lowering the speed to about 75%.

 

So I took the feeder mechanism apart to clean it and see if it was all ok, only to find out that one of the bearing that support the knurled wheel had fallen apart.

The cover plate had come of and the little clip that should hold it in place was mangled.

The problem is, I can't find that bearing sold separately anywhere. Does somebody know a the type of that bearing?

    You're supposed to contact your reseller.  Even if they don't list parts on their website, ALL parts are available.

     

    But if it were me I would just buy that bearing on ebay.  These are standard bearings - you only need to know 3 dimensions, width, inner diameter, outer diameter.  They are almost always integer numbers of mm (for example 3mm, 8mm, 12mm).  So you don't have to measure them super accurately (within 0.5mm should be good enough).

    Think it's this one; (ultimaker part 8247).

     

    The Ultimaker part number is 1974

    It's a "Stainless steel miniature ball bearing 8x12x3.5 mm" to give you a search term.

    Also known as "MR128 ZZ", commonly used on RC-cars.

     

    Good luck!

      • 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.
