My pimped UM2

Post by erri »

Hi,

i have just uploaded some initial documentation and images of my UM2 modifications.

In case you are curious, you can take a look here: http://www.ibrieger.de/ultimaker2-3d-pr ... tions.html.

The main purpose of my modifications is printing more plastic per second since i mainly print functional and/or big parts - and i am impatient ;-) .

Things i have done so far (besides the usual mods like Olsson block, ballbearings for the filament roll, fan shrouds and so on) are:
  • * A custom firmware
    * A mainboard cooling fan
    * A stronger feeder motor and a feeder motor cooling fan
    * 1.75mm filament conversion
    * Installed a flowrate sensor to limit printspeed if things get to fast for the feeder/extruder, and to measure Temperature-Flowrate curves.
