4th one is up:

how you will define an upgrade kit that is sold at a price that is 1/4 of the total cost of a new device, with parts that are not necessary because already present? The part of redundant parts would i describe as that it was designed to be user friendly to install... And the price, well you did not...

Of course it is a teasingly photo, it would be weird to show everything before the official announcement... :-) Also, please define "scam"? As @Anders said, "I think that with the TFM it works good enough for most users.", it really is, we have had sooo much less problems with th...

I would not count on a UM2 dual extrusion upgrade, that was already cancelled once stating that it needed too much changes to be possible, that has probably not changed since... Also the UM2+ does not have the holes in the back panel required to mount a second feeder. The new Ultimaker tough... it w...

The Olsson block is 3.2mm, i am pretty sure of that

Releasing production drawings would imho be a crazy move business wise... It would only help a very select few users, and the ones that would be jumping up and down of happiness would be a bunch of asian clone manufacturers who do not care at all about licenses and -NC clauses but only about selling...

At Stockholm Makerspace, we have changed both our UMO and UMO+(extended) to use the UM2 head and then upgraded them with rigid spacers and TFM couplers, it is really a good upgrade, and it does add a lot to the user experience, and allows it to run at 260 for extended periods without having to switc...

If you set Cura to run RepRap style gcode under Machine Settings, then you can change all temperatures, if you run UltiGcode (default on UM2), then you have never been able to set them in Cura, no matter the version. The UM2 family (wich runs UltiGcode) handles temperatures and material profiles in ...

This is how the door is mounted:

I actually see machinekit as very interesting as it is a fork of LinuxCNC that are rewriting stuff to be able to run on embedded systems and get better separation of backend/frontend. To me most of the controller boards are totally uninteresting for CNC use, since i cannot hookup a monitor and a con...

You could also use a solenoid and a vacuum pump or a vacuum ejector and pressured air to create a underpressure in the bowden tube at will.

That can by definition not be true, since it would imply that a totally smooth wheel (infinitely small notches) would give the most force.

Too small and sharp teeth also got the problem that if they starts to grind ever so slightly, they get filled with plastic and looses all grip there is.

But if you like to spend money for a new feeder which will have the same problem of grinding of the old one... it is a choice... I write this because there is no difference between the old one and the new one if you look at the part in contact with the filament.. And more power (looking at the gear...
