UM2 swappable printhead for E3D direct hotend

We put our UM2 on a rubbermaid style cart so that it would be easy to move around if need be and there is storage space below for filament and stuff. It turns out that the surface of the cart was not completely flat. I could hear (and then see) the UM2 rocking back and forth as the print head moved from one side to the other. So I took a big slab (2&quot; thick) of high density closed cell foam we had lying around and put it up on that. Then I noticed that the standard &quot;feet&quot; of the UM2 were &quot;sinking&quot; into the foam. So I wanted some feet to spread the load out. Also I have heard (read) about the electronics of the UM2 overheating. So the feet are also there to improve air flow under the base. I don&apos;t know if the overheating thing is common, rare, or just an old wives tail, but I figure it probably can&apos;t hurt. Lastly, I used plain jane PLA, well technically it is Form Futura Easyfil, so I don&apos;t expect the feet to help or hinder vibration by themselves. The 2&quot; thick slab of closed cell foam should probably dampen some vibration... but I am no vibration expert.

This is a bolt-on upgrade for the UM2 with a belt-drive, it does increase the pushing power of the relatively weak UM2 Feeder motor, and also remove the thermal coupling between the feeder motor and the knurled bolt, since it has been shown that excessive temperatures at the bolt caused by high current can decrease the performance of the feeder. It functions as a gearbox that moves the knurled bolt a few centimeters outwards and upwards, and provides a new nema17 hole pattern which means that it will work with any feeder that is designed for the standard feeder position at the UM2, including the IRobertI&#xA0;feeder and the original UM2 feeder, it gives you a gearing of 1.8:1 and removes almost all thermal coupling between the motor and the knurled bolt.The only change needed to use this geared feeder upgrade is to change steps per mm in Marlin to the original value times 1.8, thats it!You need to print one base, one plate and two washers.Also included in the files are a Bearing Carrier to be able to use MF105 (5x10x4mm) bearings instead of the MF695 (since i only had MF105 bearings at home while building the prototype)If you are to use it with the |Robert| V2 feeder, it is recommended to print the feeder mirrored, that way it will not interfere with the original spool holder, this requires you to also change the direction of the feeder in the firmware. This change also have a the added feature of lowering the friction slightly in the bowden tube since the knurled surface of the filament will be on the inside instead of the outside of the bowden tube&apos;s curve.

The filament guide of the UM2 is far from optimal. After some hundreds hour of work it shows signs of tear and wear and as you might see from the first picture the filament grinds large traces into the guide. Finally this leads to frequent filament ruptures which results in wasted printing time and unhappy users.There a still some improved filament guides but I designed my own because I wanted something with a ball bearing which let your filament run very smoothly.1. So print one base, two wheels and the axle. 2. Then insert the ball bearing inside the two wheels and glue the two wheels together (I used epoxy to do this but I thing any decent glue will do.)3. Screw all parts together with the M3 bolt, nut and washer4. Replace the original guide with your new one.5. Face no more broken filaments :-)

I had the problem that there was sometimes a friction between the filament and the border from the spool. I have solved the problem as I have construced an angled spool holder and use it instead of the delivered spool holder.
