Posted · How much time is normal to send a Teflon coupler?

Hi,

14 days and a teflon coupler ordered from Ultimaker has not any notice of a tracking number.

I post a ticket but not very helpful so far , the answer has been that it takes at ultimaker to ship from 5 to 10 days, well its 14 days, weekend and not tracking number yet.

Is this normal? I mean, a teflon coupler is small, can be sent via a small parcel and is not a difficult thing to manage.

Ordering from ultimaker has been a pain as everybody Know, and can be read here in several threads but I didn't expect this to happen also with spare parts...

by the way I ordered also from here

http://es.aliexpress.com/item/-/1959140480.html?recommendVersion=1

and they sent them the day after ordered and are on their way here.

    14 days [ago, i ] and a ordered teflon coupler from Ultimaker. Not tracking number yet.

    by the way I ordered also from here

    xxxxxxxxxx

    are on their way here.

     

    The good news is, you have an official request in for an official piece and not a foreign made knock off, printed in who knows what?

    Now you will have an abundance of teflon couplers, official and otherwise, after they ALL arrive.

    Then when you break or wear out the cheap one, you have a backup, and can promptly order again from Ultimaker so that you always have a spare. Sounds like you do a lot of printing, yes?

    Just in time inventory management is not always the "right fit/answer" especially in personal manufacturing such as afforded by Ultimaker's fine products.

    The Team Ultimaker have delegated tasks to various personnel.. And they're human and make mistakes. I personally don't think airing your beefs in public forum is the right way to get resolution. Are you wanting me to send you mine? Good luck with that.

    I don't know of any embarrassed person who works faster because they got pounded in a public forum for a slow shipment of a replacement part. There must be an explanation of some kind, and the majority of us reading this can't help you.

    Leadership Team Ultimaker is very accessible around here, if you reach out to one specifically. Can't hurt, right?

    -------I personally don't think airing your beefs in public forum is the right way to get resolution. --------------

     

    This is Buying, Ordering and Delivery of Ultimaker part of ultimaker forum , where If you have problems, delays and comments about how it works, you can post it and and try to make it work better.

    I just shared my experience, and read about others here, and wait for help, and voila, its here, thanks to Sander.

    If you dont comment how things are working for you at ultimaker is impossible to improve, and I dont think saying it loud is a bad think.

    I am very happy with my printer, I think ultimaker2 is the best out there, but sales had been a problem when I bought it and now with this critical spare part.

    I ordered at ebay a replacement, after 10 days waiting for an email from ultimaker saying it has been sent that has not arrive yet, and because I need my printer working, I dont know if it is official or not, They shell it as an ultimaker german teflon coupler, will see if it works.

    Getting back to the original question. I would expect next day shipping for spareparts and fillament. Although many webstores have sameday shipping already.

    What is the UM target? Any news on using decent packaging materials iso envelopes?

    Alright, I have asked an update for 1540599 & 1529041.

    I think I will have an update tomorrow and I will also try to get it out asap.

    About decent packaging, that has been mentioned and noted and is on the agenda to be improved!

    In regard of our target, I think the best answer in this case is: improve ;)

    And don't feel bad when you are asking for help.

    At Ultimaker we are all happy to help and pitch in :)

    Hello,

    I've issued the order n.1541720 16 days ago but is not shipped yet.

    Without a new PTFE coupler my printer have to work at 260 °C with PLA in order to avoid grinding ... :( and results are mostly unwanted.

    Can you please have a look and see if it can be shipped?

    Thank you

    Hi Guys,

    Sorry Contesio I did not see your message, I have send out a request for an update.

    It looks like it should already have been send so I expect it to be shipped this week.

    @ Andwew, I have also send out a request for an update on your order.

    It is still within the lead time of 10 days but it should also be send soon.

    I will let you both know once I know more!

    Thank you!

      • 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.
