Ultimaker Original + Bondtech QR Upgrade

After 4 (?!) years the Ultimaker Original deserved an update.  Had to replace the feeder wheel  after printing rough glow in the dark / carbon fiber filament. The replacement had to replaced… so an extruder upgrade it is. Happy Birthday!

The Bondtech QR Ultimaker 2 Kit won.

Initial condition (pretty happy after that time and countless printing hours):

Had to design a coustom mount. Because:

Ultimaker 2 Bondtech kit… / didn’t want to drill many holes (now just 1 ) / had to make clearance for the adjustables axis caps…

Mounted. View from below

„Final“ product

Bondtech stepper is rubbing against the 2.2 kg  filament roll. First print was a redesign of my filament scale. Now it sits 7 mm lower and working like a charm.

Loosing my religion / Pt100

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:

Ohoh

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:SonoffPOW

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.

 

3D Printed Shades holder – 3D prints 2017

As it’s winter at the moment I noticed a draft from our kitchen windows. Noticed the holding clips for the shades prevented a proper sealing.

So I tried to make a better one. 2 parts for easy printing. With my Printer I could just more or less press fit them together.

Trash Can Clips
