Great write up, Aaron!
Thanks, BTW I have used the glue stick for every print and made sure to smudge the glue with water while the bed is heating up and have had everything stick like mad. Even that little truncated hinge piece had no brim, I had to wait for the bed to cool because I had to exert too much force to remove it and I didn't want to risk bending or breaking it.
Awesome Aaron, so cool that you are printing away !! I cant wait to see a Geeky image of you wearing your printed glasses haha.
I really need to set myself a nice big design project, so I can put the UM2 through its paces!
Looks like your countless hours on the forum really paid off huh? I gotta say I wasn't quite so patient, power on and start a print GO GO GO was my approach after unboxing. Then again I did have a fair bit of experience with the original so I was confident I could fix any issues.
Looking forward to seeing those glasses completed, I think they will look pretty slick with the LEDs.
(btw, your vids are set to private, not sure if that was intentional or not)
Hey guys thanks!
Yeah, I'm really excited to finish those glasses, I too am looking forward to posting an image of me wearing them . I've been putting different things in the machine to get a better feel for the print settings vs output and am looking forward to feeding it some of my larger projects as well to really see what this thing can do!
Yeah, the hours in the forum definitely paid off and they continue to pay off as I post more questions. I'm trying to provide the correct information to get solutions, something I learned by watching the success of other posts. Trust me I wanted to GO GO GO, in fact there were a couple of things I didn't do before printing my first print because I was just too excited!! My hands were shaking when I was working on it because I just wanted to print something but had to restrain myself. I'm totally excited for the LED version of the glasses, some people at work don't see the practicality of them, but then again they are all a bunch of engineers and I think they are simply jealous of my new fancy awesome printer :mrgreen:!
Yeah, I set the videos to private because I just wanted to share them with the UM community. Also, some of the videos are for diagnostics issues and without context wouldn't make much sense if one were to stumble upon them via some YouTube exploring.
The thing is though that we can't see the videos (at least I can't). I think what you want is "Unlisted".
Awww shoot! I'll make them unlisted, thanks!
Hey Aaron, a lil' correction. My packaged did include the bottm cardboard piece and the electronics cover was still bent out of shape. I don't even want to know what hit that thing...
Oh and btw. Where's the traditional hello world print?
Thanks for the clarification, I'll make the appropriate changes to my post. Lol, yeah I still need to print out the Ultimaker robot :lol:. Will do soon :-P.
Thanks for the feedback Aaron, i've also been feeding myself with all the great stuff on the forum while waiting for my UM2 that should hopefully be there this week. I've printed out your message and I'll be reading it along with the UM2 manual when I'll be setting up the beast It will be hard to wait a bit more for my first print but i think it's worth it.
Have you done anything on the feeder part?

I printed out my glasses as well and they also turned out great!! The print speed was a bit high though. I just wanted to see if my lenses fit the way I wanted them to, I need to make a couple of tweaks but it's pretty close for a first try.
I've also been playing with the settings to get better prints for the hinges.
Here is my first attempt.
Here is my second attempt, I truncated the stem so I could focus on how to print the hinge part.
Soon I'll be well on my way to making the LED version
