Just a quick question as to what people keep in there ultimaker day to day tool box. I guess edge cutters for fillament, a putty knife, blue tape (+ knife to trim it down) and pliers are all key tools, but anything more that people keep handy? I hear medical needles are great for unblocking? What other suggestions do people have?

PS any thread related to this, or even if this is posted in thhe wrong section, just point me in the right direction :)

    The tool I use the most is a pair of needle-nosed tweezers. Invaluable for cleaning the nozzle, and pulling off stray bits of filament. Littauer (suture) scissors - the type with the notch in the blade - are also useful for cutting stray bits of plastic away in mid-print sometimes.

        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.
