Posted · Upgrade the UM2+ Connect with previous UM2+ controller

Since the UM2+ Connect is incompatible with the previous UM2+ model, we are looking for a way to avoid reslicing hundreds of STL models for the Connect so we can expand our production capacity like we used to do with adding UM2+ printers.

 

Does anyone have an idea whether it would work to replace the Connect controller and control panel with the controller of an UM2+? I would think that, if the motors, heaters and sensors are the same, this should work. We can print an enclosure for the UM2+ display panel.

    The stepper motors are different, but not sure if it would also work with the old controller.

    But before you do that, I think it is easier to buy an old UM2+

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
