3D Printing Forum

Good video! And a kick in my butt to finally install the PEI-coated aluminium build plate in my UM2 that is laying at home now since half a year...

I agree, the SD card holder in the first A and B models was crap :-) I lost a few installations due to file system corruption caused by contact problems. Since the move to micro-SD I have not seen such issues anymore. After the SD slot finally broke completely on my B model, I repaired it and conver...

Why? Other people put Raspberry Pis on remote controlled cars and all kinds of crazy robots - I would hope that your UMO has much less frame movement than this or these

My plan is to mount the Pi under my UM2 if I can manage to do so.

Then why pay for the Raspberry Pi Cam in that bundle?

The Pi 3 has built-in wifi and bluetooth which is good for OctoPrint as you will need most probably Wifi but apparently the Pi 3 gets hotter which might be an issue depending on where you mount it. From the CPU performance, you will not need a Pi 3. Regarding the Bundle: I would check what camera ca...

I suppose the problem still it's that if the usb connection it's lost for a second the print will stop? With OctoPrint and if you want to drive prints from it, then yes. But Martin's solution by default just monitors the status messages that are created during the print and could even just do camer...

Since the UM2 was originally designed to be upgraded to dual extrusion, the 220W power supply that comes with it has quite some head room for such extensions AFAIK. I however remember reading on the old UM forum once that it might be a problem to get that amount of power out of the mainboard without...

I started using the somewhat more lightweight solution from @martin-bienz last week and it was super-easy to setup and allows me to monitor prints and do time lapse videos while not messing with the printer as much as OctoPrint does. I now just need to find a good looking solution for storing the Ra...

Is it possible to mount the Raspberry Pi under the UM2 and maybe even power it from the UM2 power supply? With a add-on board like this , it could switch on when the printer is switched on and the USV function could shut it down gracefully once the printer is switched of. Is there a place under the ...

I vote against it as it is used on one other forum that I use a lot and there it messes up the subject of the email announcements - the used variables / placeholders in the subject are not replaced with their content anymore if the reply has been posted via tapatalk.

Ah! Okay, I thought it is something that I saw once on a trade show where they had a g-code file that printed a small part, pushed it from the build platform with the extruder and then started printing another one.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what are auto.g files and what are they used for?

To answer my own question: Yes, they do!
Unfortunately the 26x35cm reusable vacuum zip lock bags that come with my vacuum heat sealer are a little bit too narrow. That would be even better as these bags could be reused over and over again.

@nilrog: How much is the Zap Purple in Sweden and where do you get it from there?
