Hello,

Anyone plugged his Ultimaker 2 to a UPS? I already got 2 power cut recently and one occurred after 8 hours of print just one hour before the end...

I'm looking for something that would hold for at least 15min up to an hour.

Thanks

    It's not too hard to continue a failed print - most important thing is to keep the bed hot so the part doesn't pop off when it cools.

    First you need to use pronterface to find the exact layer to continue on. Pronterface is here:

    Í've had my UM2 connected to a APC SmartUPS1000 for a while now. works like a charm. no power cuts eperienced but it shows me it could support up to 30 mins..

      • 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.
