Posted · Happy printing from Everett, WA, USA

I'm a somewhat new Ultimaker owner, and while I was waiting for my machine to arrive (and reading about all the problems people were having on the Google group), I posed the question: How many Ultimaker owners are happily printing away, rather than having a ton of problems?

Well, I recieved my machine and assembled it (http://www.all1word.com/ultimaker/) and after installing Cura I am proud to announce that I am of the former group, happily printing piece after piece (over 100 so far). Not without failures, of course, but certainly acceptable performance, given the state of the technology.

I am happy to help anyone within my capacity.

    You painted it! good boy :D

    I think the people with problems are a minority, they should not be ignored, but there are vastly more machines sold then there are people with major problems.

      • 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.
