If the shoppers really thought about it only one or two are getting a good deal, possibly, most of it is a pre Xmas mass clearout of old stock and old models.

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
I was just wondering, as the new UM3 has the camera setup, are Ultimaker going to do a kit so that the UM2 can add it?
Even if it's a separate kit that needs a USB power supply it could fit the control board underneath the base, it would be an easy upgrade kit

Since there seems to be some demand for stuff like this here... have you seen https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1904115 ?

Wouldn't Repetier or Octo do this better ?Izzy wrote:I was just wondering, as the new UM3 has the camera setup, are Ultimaker going to do a kit so that the UM2 can add it?

The camera specs on what's on the Ultimaker 3 hasn't really wow'd anyone with its resolution.

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
I have been incredibly busy past weeks, will try to catch up here.
Been moving things to my new lab past days (my colleagues call it a Man cave ) Just started printing with dual ruby nozzles on the UM3 too, with my prototype UM3 Olsson block, seems to work fine so far: More about that later..

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
Looking at the underside of the UM3 printhead, the fan outlet area is quite small. Are the fans coping with any backpressure ok? Or are the fans uprated from the UM2 to overcome the backpressure?

The fans um3 uses are blowers, pretty much the same model Gudo used for his fans mod, but um3 uses 5V model (moves the same air on paper).
Backpressure... umm not sure, Don't thing so

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
Wow what an insane week. Finally finished the um3 mods and I have it working with a new feeder I designed to use cheap bondtech gears+um3 feeder solution. All thanks to @Gudo for making me the small shaft adapter cnc.
As unexpected side effect I can actually extrude at insane mm3 at very low temps. Soo amazing. I'm lov of this printer now.
Will post photos later when I print stuff that I can actually show. Well going back to the cave to keep designing stuff.

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
Just a friendly reminder...your work mate, friend, or other relation, that looks alright, might not be feeling so well...so check with them from time to time...tomorrow may be to late
That said, I wish you a good weekend...I'm going camping with my son's "scout" team tomorrow that includes a sleep-over

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
For once I had a quiet week-end -- it didn't happened since ages
So I eventually decided to do something with the E3d hot end I bought years ago. I already started some design a couple of weeks ago, but then I was inspired with what they did for the UM2, so I made a similar version for the UMO.
The challenge for the UMO is to make it as small as possible because each millimeter beyond the 36x36 square (from the linear bearings) is a millimeter you loose on the build plate as the x/y blocks are taking much more space than the UM2 ones...
Still work to do, but so far, so good.

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day
Today finished adjusting s3d new extruders and new cores. All working perfectly to make the stuff I need.
Print is done using very cheap BQ filament (bad size dia filament but sticks always good).
Also i think my esteps are off by 0.5%. But this bondtech cheap kit reusing the um3(um2plus) feeders, works like a charm. I can push 70mm/s 0.2 layer at 205C. So pretty pretty nice vs 2.85
Fonts quality should be better but S3D has a small bug that doesn't allow me to wipe+retract when using dual.
