Posted · Hot end fan connector

Whilst trying to diagnose a faulty build plate I noticed that according to the manual from https://github.com/Ultimaker/Ultimaker2/blob/master/um2%20assembly%20manual%20V1.1%20_english.pdf

the hot end fan connector should be located in the middle of the board. I noticed that mine is connected to an end connector on the right hand side of the PCB (bottom of the image below). Since this was fully assembled and has been working for quite some time now, i am assuming that this location is correct. Can any one comment on this. Should I move it or leave it where it is?

    Either is fine; both are direct 5V out, unswitched. The central position was intended for the fan. The outer edge one for other general purpose connectivity, but both work just as well. Some early units came with the fans connected on the end - like mine. I'm not even sure if those had the the other connector - I haven't taken mine far enough apart to see.

    But, yeah, don't worry about it.

      • 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.
