Hi All,

A big hello from another noob in the UK :D

Recently got into the world of 3D printing and got hold of a Ultimaker 2:)

My main use for the printer will be prototyping RC parts for a variety of projects I'm working on and have planned for the future.

So far I've just done a few test prints and used this forum to help me dial in the settings ...... I feel getting there now and I appreciate Its not a plug and play platform. But If it was easy it would be boring ;)

I'm sure I will have a few hicups across the way so bare with me if I post a few questions lol ...... I promise I will read the topics first before spamming the forum with questions everyone asks.

I'm looking forward to the endless possibilities this awesome tool will open up to me :)

    Thanks for the welcome :)

    Its all boring cubes atm while I play with different settings to see what happens. I have a 1.2m long RC body I'm going to print out in sections and glue together. Its going to take some serious printing time lol

      • 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.
