Does anybody here know about the fantastic belt geared feeder from the member Meduza? It is very low cost and improves your Ultimaker significant. With 2 spools on the spool holder there wasn't enough clearance from load spring of the feeder to the spools. The gearbox is about 20 mm high, for that r...

Hi Anders, ...thats really quick, it takes 19 sec from 26 to 170 deg that's very fast. The point of successful dual extrusion is to reduce temperature of inactive extruder at least by 40°. On my UM2 I need with 25W heater 42sec and with 35W heater 30 sec, same temperature delta. I found in special c...

That would be small... the maximum size is 200 x 200 x 200 mm

Not wanting to put cat in the pigeon loft, but what about using some of the metal infused filament to print a redesigned bottom plate with integral cooling gallery, how would it perform? And go ...... :ugeek: Maybe you can print something like that, but remember there are the heater(s) underneath i...

Hi Paul,
yes we have a machine to test customer applications. it has loading cell and 2 5xmilling modules.
This machines are made for mid and high volume productions.

Nice design! Are you still using the original 25W heaters, or did you upgrade to the 35W version? Hi Anders, I use actual both of them, the difference of course, is the heat up time. When I run a part that uses dual extrusion the 35Watt heater is faster. Example: ABS: working temperature is 250° , ...

Hi Paul, thank you for invitation to your forum. At the moment we change our CAM System in company. To get it working for our machines we develop a post processor for the control. To test the post processor I have chosen this part. The tests will start by the middle of the next week, when the parts ...

The chiller replaces the original heat sink, the lower and upper aluminium plate an the annoying 20 mm fan.
In my opinion it is important that the tool head weight doesn't change, that keeps dynamics of this lovely machine up.

Hi all, thanks for invitation to your forum. It is nice that there are other people interested in dual extrusion on Ultmaker machine. When I bought this machine I saw the 2 holes in the tool head and I believed it can be easily upgraded to 2 nozzles. That was wrong. Because I have in my Job a very g...

Hi,
my name is Roland, having an ultimaker 2.
I bought this machine to make parts for my model planes.
The actual project is a cowl for a Vought Corsair AU-1.
It is quite big with 250mm diameter and has 8 pieces.

Greetings Roland
