Hi,

I want to put a second fan for pla cooling since with just the one that comes I can't get perfect complex overhangs.

The think it's that I don't know the specs of the fans that I should Install since there isn't a github for the umo+ and since it uses the board of the um2 I'm kinda lost on what voltage/serial/parallel? Configuration of fans I must buy.

Thanks!

    The original UM used a 12v 50mm fan. If the UMO uses a different fan it should have a sticker on it that says what voltage it is, and the edge measurement of the fan should be close to 50mm or 40mm for a fan of those sizes. The measurement is actually the screw hole center to center measurement. The UM2 uses 40mm fans I believe.

    Well the 'sticker' isn't very informative.

    UMO+ Fan

    The images uploaded from my iphone go 180º nuts... It says "1512-B2P-A" So no help there. Also the part number dosn't shows on github.

    After reading the board pdfs (ultimaker 2 board) seems it goes 24V. Anyone can confirm this?

    It's there any plan in the future to have a proper Ultimaker O+ github?

    If I'm not completely wrong, someone at Ultimaker (almost sure it was Sander in 'company update') mentioned that Ultimaker will put every machine onto Github six months after launch.

    It is definitely the input voltage, so 24V in this case.

    (The UM2 is using 2 12V fans in series)

    My new x2 24v fans work perfectly. I had to buy 2 since I did't knew the voltage of the other fan. Thank you guys!

    I want to do this mod too and I am just wondering how you fixed the second fan on the metal fan shroud of the UMO+ alu part? Or did you replace it entirely? And what was the exact spec of the fans you bought? where sis you end up plugging them in on the electronics board? Could you maybe post pictures? :???:

    Well I have not uploaded the fan anyware because isn't finished. I had to put some blue tape because it 'shakes' with the aluminium. But I can show you the 'beta' of it

    I used scissors to save the inner aluminium 'not needed for the mod at all' but I wanted to reuse the left side and be able to change it for a shorter version If I use e3d nozzles. The right side get's the grip from two m3 nylon nuts.

    Umm I can't link the photo from the iphone. Check my gallery. I'll link it when I reach the computer

    Beta fan for aluminium UMO+

    The specs of the fans, I don't remember. I just got what they had on the store, they have ball bearings and they are 24V 50x50x10 I think. They don't come 'on' until the led power reachs 150-160. But at 255 they do push a nice amount of air, so much that my first fan versions where cooling the bed and I had some pla issues. The design isn't finished yet, but so far the overhangs are much better.

    Edit: My fans are 50x50x15, that's why I had to scissor the left aluminum... Anyhow the air it's ok, now I need to finish the design to make it more stable and make the airflow cover the area that the nozzle prints, I think I'll try to use the two holes that are on the lower aluminum to make a good grip and because the aluminum don't go over 40-50C it should be ok as long as the fan's are on... I think :D

    Since others have done this...what would be a suitable make/model for UMO fan?  (Not +)

    My Original fan has a bad bearing...usable but noisy.  And I want a second to add additional cooling on the right side.

    I have been looking for a Y adapter to attach two 2-wire fans but have not found such a device yet.  

    I assume the replacement fan needs to be able to do PWM?

    Edit: Would two of these, spliced together, work?

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
