Re: Company Update Aug 16
Thoughts on their new Advanced 3D Printing Kit?
ADVANCED 3D PRINTING KIT
Ultimaker’s Advanced 3D Printing Kit has been designed to help you get consistent, reliable print results – every time. Special adhesion sheets included in the kit minimize warping and achieve better bed adhesion – a welcome alternative to glue! And the door creates a more controlled environment inside your 3D printer; which means a more stable temperature and a higher print success rate. Quality and performance of the printed parts will be also improved as a result. The kit will be available in September and is recommended for use with our new materials.

Re: Company Update Aug 16
Advanced 3D printing kit: A bit expensive as usual but it includes two TFM and two nozzles.
A bit more surprising to me is the discontinuation of the Ulticontroller kit and the HBK. I would have expected a 'last call' as for the UMO.
However, the communication is a bit poor (no tweet, no forum entry so far...). Maybe it's because SandervG is on holiday.

I understand they discontinue the UMO, but why the upgrade kits
Ulticontroller is not a big deal as you can use the ones from RepRap Discount, but HBK...
I'll have to go rogue on my UMO...

Re: Company Update Aug 16
Well the kits are on the resellers, but they won't make more.
Indeed for the ulticontroller it's just easier to get a reprap discount and print the box, but also they must keep selling it since it's a part of umo+, I don't know why the removed it anyway.

Re: Company Update Aug 16
I don't know about better bed adhersion and less warping,
I'm current printing a 3Dhub job in White ABS, sliced with Simply3D print temperature 245'C bed temperature 100'C, ABS gloop for bed adhersion, no warping.

Re: Company Update Aug 16
Well, it is not that bad, the parts of most of these kits can probably be ordered trough your regular reseller as spare parts (since they are all part of the UMO+), they are just not packed and sold as kits with instruction sheets and stuff with the purpose of end consumer installation anymore...
The only part i can think of that might be impossible to get is the step-down board that is included in the heated bed upgrade kit to step down the 24V power supply to 19V... but you can pick up a step-downmodule for cheap on eBay to do more or less the same thing.

Re: Company Update Aug 16
There are still a ton of the upgrade kits out there (with the resellers). I'm pretty sure it's going to be fairly easy to get the kits for the next year.
So no worries. The UMO+ is not discontinued, the UMO is. Hardly anyone bought the UMO (everyone went with the UMO+)

Re: Company Update Aug 16
Also the Dual Extrusion Kit.
Not that I actually was planning to get that one though.
