Re: Initial power on all steppers move one direction for a second then reverse for a second

Had something similar when changing my UMO steppers to SSS, but only on one axis. it was a missing pullup at the arduino input pin which lead to this behavior... don´t know if it could be something similar...

Re: A Tea between friends :-) How was Your Day

I hope that I will get my intended christmas present from my wife - an old vilyl LP from Eric Clapton, but the AC/DC ones are also in place for a little "silent night" tomorrow :-) Next week I hope I find time to evaluate a new amp and speakers for my new sound system, so similar idea as y...

Re: UMO/UMO+/Prusa firmware merge

Re: Ultimaker Brand PLA

very nice print Anders... I can confirm your statement - have a roll if white UM PLA and always troubles with the setings - sometimes is 210 too cold, sometimes the flow amount too less...

Re: Why the UMO has fans on electronics?
