I currently have three ultimakers, one ultimaker s5 and two ultimaker s5 pro bundles. The standard is fully functional, and both pro bundles need minor repairs. Is there anyone that knows the market well that could help me price these? Thanks!

PS- I’m from north jersey, so if anyone knows any reputable businesses that can repair the pro bundles feel free to let me know. I’m still quite new and inexperienced in the world of 3D printing.

Have an Ultimaker S3. Is it as simple as adding a resin filament and printing? Or is there something else involved? Been using PLA up to now.

I have had this issue with six different prints now and cannot for the life of me and google find out how to fix it. It seems when the printer gets to the upper sections where it needs to make the roof flat of an object it just doesnt. ive checked the spool isnt binding. changed temps. tried to overextrude a bit. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi all,

My S5 was working fine for around 2 years. Recently a print failed at the start - a big spider-like mess made of filament (Ultimaker Black PLA). That was on print head #1.

Possibly caused by a too cold environment? (around 17 deg C)

Tried to clean it from the maintenance menu. After that - not extruding a filament, giving me some errors (sorry, don;t have the exact error messge, but if I start it again it possibly give me the same error, so I can paste it here if needed). And I can't unload the filament. Looks like it's stuck in the print head. Also now it's very difficult to remove the tube from the print head (as one of the steps for printhead cleaning).

So I tried to unload old filament from print head #2, loaded brand new Ultimaker Black PLA straight from a sealed box. Loading process went OK. Started the print. The head was moving, but no filament was extruded.

Loaded one of the default Cura profiles (Fast - 0.2mm) for a quick test. Same issue. Tried to unload the filament #2. Not coming out. Stuck in the print head #2.

Any ideas how to sort it out myself, before seding it for a repair?

Two weeks ago when tried it last time all was fine.

Any advise is much appreciated.

Many thanks.

so my school has a bunch of s3's and im only used to enders, so im wondering if i can set in the gcode for it to pause so i can swap a color out for another and then back again. i know it has two extruders but i need one of them for the required PVA supports on the model im working on. ive only printed on the s3 twice now and it did like to scream at me about the filament not being the same as what i had it in the slicer, i haven't hit ignore yet and just changed the model. TIA

See photos.

As my tittle asks.... I'm printing a simple funnel type thing for some project my friend is doing. As it's a funnel it needs a hole down the middle.. When i import the object to Ultimaker its sideways and if i slice, its find just on its side, but when i rotate it to be standing the puts a big filler/wall in where the angle part is... Why??

It sideways:

I've had my S5 for about a year now. Just picked up a Bambu P1s, and wtf, the difference in quality & speed is insane.

On my S5 I'm constantly getting material feed errors, regular old PLA not sticking to the glass bed, nylon just refuses to print, shifting layers, oozing etc. I haven't had a single one of those issues with my p1s.

And maybe worst of all, the S5 material station (which holds six rolls) can only switch between TWO filaments!?

How can Ultimaker justify the retail price of their printers, when they are getting blown away by a printer that is THOUSANDS of $$ cheaper?

Sorry for the rant, but I feel like I got screwed spending so much on the S5. Putting it up for resale ASAP.

Workplace printer. During autolevel, there will be a loud noise during autoleveling and the message says check nozzles, upon retrying it will work, but now it is going through more tries. Do we need to just replace our nozzles?

Working with support but wanted to double check in case someone has has a similar experience with their s5:

-initially started freezing when selecting print removed when continuing to the next print would not fix itself and required cycling the power

-after a while started freezing in the middle of a print but once power cycled would continue without loss in quality

-later would struggle to turn back on after power cycling but would reboot fine after leaving it

-finally refused to turn back on after power cycling and has since refused to turn back on

Things we've attempted:

-different power directly into wall outlet

-uplugging accessories

-removing wifi modue from board

-the light on the power supply board does not turn on when plugged in and switched on yet no components seem damaged

Thanks in advance!

I'm wondering if the Print core can be damaged, if the printer stays at "feeder seems to be empty" for multiple hrs.

Will the printcore and bed stay at full temperature during that error message?

tltr:

Still need to fix the issues regarding the Printer always stopping at ~2hr mark (3rd time) and will resume afterwards without issues when printing PLA.

No issues with ABS, at least I got the setting right to print now without warping, when printing PLA.

Is this good quality for an ultimaker 2 extended+ with a 0.6 nozzle?

Hi All,

We picked up a used Ultimaker 2+. Under maintenance, I set the plate temp to 80 C and the plate only warmed up to 40. Is this normal? Should the surface of the plate reach 80? Do I have an issue?

Thank you in advance.

Hi. See the image attached. There's a wee length of green filament stuck down in the chamber. I have no clue how to get that out, and pushing any other filament into the slot doesn't activate the feeder. Any thoughts on how to access that area or get that length of filament to come out?

We did use green on B last, and so I suspect as the roll ended, and the remainder was spat back out, that's the last little bit from the hot end that didn't quite escape :/

TIA for any suggestions.

Hi as the title suggests, I need a replacement UM2 mainboard, which do i choose? the A4988 or the TMC2208? I understand the stepper drivers are diff but which did the first UM2 use?

Hey team I’m looking to improve my work flow and find someone add ons that can help!

Hello, I am fixing our 3D printers we have at school. (2 printers, 1 has the problem i'm talking about) when I insert the filament it feeds properly. However when the machine forwarded the material it stops feeding. Therefore nothing comes out of the nozzle and the filament doesn't move.

When I take out the filament there is a grind thing in the filament from the wheel in the feeder. I set the tension to the lowest setting and it still grinds. The nozzle or anything is not clogged. I did a cold pull and when I look in it's open. 0,8mm nozzle

Any suggestions welcome.

PS: sometimes when we turn on the printer it shows some kind of crash code (the screen full of unreadable shit) before it boots up with the ultimaker text.

I am setting up the 3 d printer of my dad but he is only moving and not printing. What can I do?

Hello everyone. I have an issue with my Ultimaker Factor 4 printer. It turns out that the lift switch is loose and isn't making the print core go up or down. Can anyone help me with this problem? Thank you very much in advance.

Did you experience any issues when switching from ABS to PLA regarding flow sensor alarms and how did you handle them?

I've no issues when printing with ABS, Feeder Tension is set to the middle position, at the little notch.

But regarding PLA, both prints I did so far stopped after ~1-3 hrs, the display telling me that there might be no material in the feeder.

Original PLA Material on the spool is new.
Ventilation works fine.
Later on I'll take a look at the bowden tube.

I already set the feeder tension a little higher then with the ABS.

2nd Question if 1st can't be resolved:
Worst case, if you have to resume a print after hrs how can you avoid warping or material not attaching properly.

Might be a good thread regarding my issue:
https://community.ultimaker.com/topic/25190-ultimaker-s5-constantly-says-its-out-of-filament-when-its-not/

I am helping out a school which got an ultimaker 2 extended for their students. Replaced the temperature sensor, calibrated it and started with test prints today.

All seems to work except that there sometimes seems to be underflow of material during the print.

I have extensive experience with 3d printers, but not with bowden 3d printers. Anybody has an insight what to look at?

Hey guys, by the looks of it I'm going to be a S5 owner and I'm finding some conflicting info on core types. Mine will have an AA and a BB core installed and based on Google searches BB core is made for PVA. My question is can I use it to print other materials? I would like to use PLA & PETG (as supports to each other) but after looking at the core prices in Europe I don't want to ruin it.

Hey all I've a um2+ that I've had for a few years it was my workhorse for a while then I had major issues with extruders, I had issues with the nozzle/print head.

Now I'm familiar with printers so it's not that but for some reason it just seemed that this printer just yeah issues. Anyhow what can I do to make it either a)useable again! (Getting parts is crazy expensive where I live for the price of parts I can buy a Bambu 😅. B)Hack it into something else- is there any way to turn it into something else so it works? Upgrades/parts or idk.

I hate it just standing in my apartment and not being used. So yeah all ideas would be great!

I have Both 1.75 and 2.85 Material available.

is there a way to use both materials without completely disassembling and Reassembling the printer every time?

What is really needed to be able to print with both diameters?

Are there any cheapo conversion kits?

I just installed Cura 5.8 on my Windows 11 machine. When I go to start it, it gets through the initial windows (accept license, data collection, etc.) until it reaches the "Sign-In" page. Once I select any of those options, the program crashes. I've tried this about a dozen times, all with the same result.

Here is the first batch of logs from a fresh install, first time running it.

https://pastebin.com/sfzXfNQE

I've tried the following:

• Uninstalling and Reinstalling

• Forcing it to run on integrated graphics, rather than my graphics card (Through nVidia Control Panel)

• Deleting cura.cfg

• Completely removing the Cura folder from %APPDATA% both between installs and between startup attempts.

There is no printer connected to my laptop, and I have allowed Cura to access my network.
