@LePaul
I spend some time optimizing the design today and uploaded it on youmagine: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ptfe- ... um2-series

The I2K was invented in an attempt to increase the lifespan of the early PTFE couplers and to increase the maximum operating temperature of the machines. With the TFM, the lifetime of the spacer increased dramatically compared to the earlier PTFE and glass filled PTFE. For normal printing (up to 260...

@Anders Olsson what make of Woodfill are you using? I did struggle with Kai Pathy's wood fill although he did recommend a miniumum of 0.5mm nozzle, the modified Robert's feeder would grind the filament or deformed it as it was softer. although when I upgraded to the bondtech feeder it had enough pr...

Who said Woodfill can't handle retractions? :-P 2017-06-17-1808.jpg The only modifications I have done is a different feeder gear and another type of spring in the original UM2 feeder. Ambient temperature is 30 C and I am using a 0.6 mm nozzle. (0.4 mm nozzle just does not work with this spool of wo...

There might be a market for a really high quality printer, but I doubt that you can produce and sell such printer for the same money as an UM3. Just have a look at E3D for example, the Bigbox printer was successfully developed and all their Kickstarter printers shipped and then they realized they ju...

Works fine for me now

Hi Paul, I think it has a few glitches, The first is the main page, the icons are all the way across and interefering with the text as photo below, IMG_1179.PNG I had to clear my browser history to fix that (just reloading the page did not help) EDIT: The bug seems to be when I click on "home&...

I was just reading about the new Formlabs Fuse 1 SLS printer, I think I need one of those

Pff been so busy the last weeks... We built our house as a turnkey solution but I had no clue how much work remains after they are "finished" with it. Guys I need your advice: I'm demo'ing my 2 3D printers on a kids-tech-happening this weekend and the previous years I've always had them p...

Cura does all sorts of tricks to save printing time. What you see in your print is one of them which I think is not justified, since it saves very little time and the result is rather messy. It is called combing in old Cura and means that when the head has to move without printing, it moves over sur...

Coming soon...the Olsson Extruder? Well, if I had more time I would probably invent something, not sure when that time will show up though. I just wanted to test some concepts this time and get a feeling for what one can do with the metal printer. I still have a pancake stepper motor laying around ...

You should definitely print a calibration print and adjust the offset before doing anything else. Apart from that, I would expect it to work okay with the latest firmware. PVA is tricky though as mentioned. You will need a bit more patience with the UM3 by the way, certain things are really slow com...

A toothbrush a day keeps your knurled bolt in play! ...until I can put these babies to work :) IMG_1334.JPG Talking about feeders, I had an opportunity to do something "useful" with our EOS M 100 metal printer the other day, so I took the chance to test a some new feeder-ideas: 2017-04-26...

Looking forward to reading this. How's baby? She is getting more and more active, only a matter of weeks before she is walking I guess, have been adapting my house for that lately :-P @Anders: Gawd I wish my last name was Hellsing, too <3 Btw. I never realized those Ruby nozzles have an actual ruby...

I would print a hand from the Enabling the future project: http://enablingthefuture.org
