Posted · Hello from Miami

Received my UM2 a few days ago and have been absolutely loving it. It's quiet, fast and precise. I did have a few hurdles, first I had a heat bed issue when I first turned it on requiring me to take the build plate apart where I found a loose wire for the heat bed. After that I had an issue with the extruder, I noticed filament was not coming from the tip no matter how much I ran the extruder. Turns out the gear on the rear feeder ground into the filament. I retracted it, cut it off and fed it back and it has worked perfectly since.

I do have one question, I have run it over night once. I know it turns off the bed and hot end when it finishes and I have it set to turn lights off, but is it ok for it to stay on? It sounds like it keeps fans on even when not running.

    Yes, you can leave it running. The fan you hear is the so called "third fan", a tiny fan that is mounted at the rear of the print head that always runs whenever the machine is turned on. I guess you'll take a few hours off the total life of the fan but other than that it shouldn't be a problem.

      • 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.
