Posted · Ultimaker 2 - no part cooling fans, weird power issue.

Hi all, after many years of mostly trouble free printing, my UM@ is developing some odd issues. Beginning yesterday, I noticed that my part cooling fans are no longer turning on. At the start of a new layer sometimes they'll start to spin up, and then immediately spin back down again. After the issue presented itself I was able to run one complete print with the cooling fans active, but none after that.

I've also noticed that when power cycling the printer, sometimes the printer won't fully power up. The interior lights won't turn on, and the panel doesn't light up. I've tried a few google searches seeking similar experiences, but I'm coming up short. 

And ideas for me?

    Maybe the power supply gone bad, or degraded, so it can no longer deliver full output? Or bad contacts? These are the first things I can think of.

     

    To be sure, also check the mains power, if that voltage is correct. Should be okay, but you never know...

      • 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.
