Didn’t notice at the time but those PUBG keychains came out with a pretty nice first layer… had a chance to get the roughness measured. (inside the pan vs the shiny bottom surface):
So if you ever wondered how your temp graph looks like live while the pt100 is working its way out of the hot end block:
I was lucky having the temp graph on a 2nd monitor and noticing it.
Solution: Stopping print, putting that thing back in and rethightening the screw.
Further improvement: Ultimaker is now powered via a 16A Sonoff Power Switch:
Ultimaker and Sonoff are both bound into Home Assistant.
New Automation: If printing temp drops below 175°C while status is „Printing“ cut the power.
First test of Colorfabb’s CF 20 special filament:
Layer height: 0.2mm @ 40 mm/s
Nozzle: 260°C Bed: 72°C
No retraction for now…
Printed some parts for the ultimaker.
Note: Material tries to stick to everything. Destroyed part of the E3D’s silicone cover. Best results with close nozzle to the bed on first layer but really hard to get the parts loose afterwards.
This week some new stuff for 2017 arrived:
E3D V6 24V Bowden Set + hardened steel nozzle
Some more special filaments for fun :
And hopefully not needed anymore some more or less usable original spare parts from aliexpress…
Will update as the Ultimaker evolves!

Thx @boldmachines
Did some drilling and soldering for the lights.
After all the updates / upgrades I had the urge to print something bigger:
Thanks for the awesome model @ lilykill
Came out pretty nice right away… 1 minor layer failure on the top part.
