<p>Inspired by Foehnsturm (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ulitimaker-orig-modular-printhead-">https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ulitimaker-orig-modular-printhead-</a>merlin-ubis) but build from scratch for the Ultimaker2.</p><p>I started with a version1 based on a mirrored baseblock of foehnsturm, but due to the asymmetrical rod placement you would lose more buildspace then necessary. I managed to get an almost symmetrical rod placement.</p><p>Some remarks;</p><p>- you can use this head with the default UM2 firmware, but the margins are small. I only have 1mm of space between the block on the front of the printer when starting a print.</p><p>- if you create your own alternative mounts (paste struder, plotter, full metal head,... many projects possible..) you will need to reduce the XY margins in firmware.</p><p>- for cable management take 2 tie wraps of the same small size, from 1 you only need the head, mount as in the picture.</p><p>- For mounting and un-mounting; remove filament and bowden tube, remove the 2 long screws at the left side.</p><p>- To remove the 3 original black plastic parts you don't need to remove cables at the printboard side, the fans have connectors in the black sleeve you can easily clip/unclip.</p><p>- Mark your XY rods before removal (they are not the same length) and check how far they need to stick out to touch the endswitch.</p><p>- MAKE SURE to level your bed after installation !!</p><p>- If you create an alternative mount for this, please share it, preferably including the step file.</p><p>- I printed mine with 0.1 layer, 50% fill, 1,2 shell, 35 mm/s</p><p>- "Mount_v2i2e.stl" has 1 build in support you can easily take out with a small plier, no need for additional support in cura.</p><p>- Want to discuss this thing? do it here;</p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/9907-ultimaker2-modular-printhead/">http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/9907-ultimaker2-modular-printhead/</a></p><p>- If you noticed my nozzle is not UM2 default, its an exchangable "olson block"<br></p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/7689-custom-heater-block-to-fit-e3d-nozzle-on-">http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/7689-custom-heater-block-to-fit-e3d-nozzle-on-</a>ultimaker-2/?p=71735</p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://youtu.be/dXKSVdxlILU">http://youtu.be/dXKSVdxlILU</a><br></p><p><br></p><p>A Plotter is available for this design here;<br></p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ultiplotter-plotter-head-for-the-ultimaker2">https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ultiplotter-plotter-head-for-the-ultimaker2</a></p>
