FvH says: PrusaSlicer does not seem to support the Ultimaker? For the ultimaker, you can use https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura/

Printserver is available at http://10.208.1.19/ or http://nurds3d.lan.nurd.space/.

We try to keep an array of working printers connected to this server.

Current printers:

  • Ultimaker Original (3mm)
  • Ultimaker Original + (3mm)
  • Creality Ender-3 V2 (1.75mm)

Limitations:

  • Ultimaker Original (+) are prone to heat-creep with the combination of higher temperature filaments, frequent retractions/low-flow conditions.

Upgrade plans:

  • Replace hotend in Ultimaker Original (+) with E3DV6
  • Replace Ultimaker extruders with E3D Titan

IMPORTANT NOTE: both Ultimakers have custom firmware because pins were not working and a pinswap in the firmware was necessary.

  • Ultimaker Original: Y-axis (IIRC) step and dir swapped to spare driver position.
  • Ultimaker Original +: cooling fan was not working properly. swapped with pwm-output of LEDs. Hopefully fixed soon by replacing transistor.
