Hello guys out there!

I am having a problem with my newly assembled Ultimaker Original:

It just doesn't heat up.

I am running it over USB and as I have read, the fan on the bottom should turn on then. It also doesn't, i can have the switch turned on or off or the power supply cable plugged in or not. Nothing seems to work. Did I make a mistake?

Greetings,

MarkusA380

    Sounds like you have no power running to the printer at all, do you have an ulticontroller? If so, can you use it to eg. move some axis? The ulticontroller can run on usb power alone, while the rest of the printer needs the power supply...

    the light on the power supply unit goes off if I turn the switch on.

     

    That's not good.

    First of all be aware that the power brick that comes with the UM1 has a safety feature that once it is shorted out you need to unplug from the wall for it to come back on.

    It sounds like something is wrong in a big way in your electronics - maybe a short somewhere.

    1) Are you good with electronics?

    2) Do you have a voltmeter? If not get one - it's time to learn something new. I will try to guide you. Or if you don't want to learn about electronics consider sending the PCB back to ultimaker but first contact them here: support.ultimaker.com

    The circuit diagram can be found here:

    The circuit diagram, and board layout are here:

    There is a zip file at the top. It contains the "brd" file which is the layout. Also the "sch" file which is the schematic.

    Both files can be opened by eagle software which is free:

      • 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.
