pm_dude 26 Posted July 30, 2014 in UM2 and UPS power supply 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gr5 897 Posted July 30, 2014 in UM2 and UPS power supply 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.

ultiarjan 1,076 Posted July 31, 2014 in UM2 and UPS power supply I see no reason why you could not use a UPS, http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=27&tab=models think an UM2 runs at about 200 W .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
korneel 160 Posted August 23, 2014 in UM2 and UPS power supply 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.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
