#

so many unused connections on this board wtf

#

this seems to be the wifi card

#

we have power

#

so uh, anyone know how to change the firmware on an ultimaker?

bitter coral
#

chaning fw?

#

whats that

#

(this is a joke)

unreal haven
#

lmao

#

i gotta somehow change the firmware to make it so it thinks the z height is shorter than it is

#

bc my new leveling knobs are too long

#

@elfin depot you seem like you would know this stuff

elfin depot
#

and if it doesnt work or if you dont wanna waste a lot of time, then just do electronics swap

unreal haven
#

im not on klipper yet

elfin depot
#

idk how to set z offset on an ultimaker lol

#

you can do it in the slicer tho

unreal haven
#

not even z offset

#

when it homes the leveling knobs hit the base

#

so i extended the little pin that hits the z endstop

#

but now when i click the raise bed button it slams into the hotend

elfin depot
#

oh wait it's a bed dropper

elfin depot
#

I barely know how to navigate marlin

unreal haven
#

lmao

#

@static shuttle do u know?

static shuttle
#

But good luck seems like an interesting project

#

(but also a hard one cause flashing firmware on an ultimaker will probably be a pain)

unreal haven
#

yeah… i’m tempted to just buy a board and flash it with klipper

elfin depot
#

Fuck I kinda really want one now

#

Looks like you can insulate it and jack up the temp pretty good

unreal haven
#

it doesnt have a chamber heater, but if you mean the bed temp yeah ig

#

@elfin depot mine had missing leveling knobs but im gonna try to grab some off the other ultimakers

static shuttle
elfin depot
static shuttle
#

why

elfin depot
#

Chuck some insulation and a heater in there and see

static shuttle
#

yeah but why not on any other way cheaper way easier to mod printer

unreal haven
#

i got this ultimaker for free

#

nothing cheaper than that (unless they pay you to take it)

elfin depot
static shuttle
elfin depot
#

Just the fact that I want one

static shuttle
static shuttle
#

although ultimaker kinematics are a beauty to look at

unreal haven
#

eh

elfin depot
#

Well not anymore

static shuttle
unreal haven
#

the belts from the motors are at such a weird angle

#

bothers me so much

static shuttle
static shuttle
#

any updates?

unreal haven
#

not really. i have some oem leveling knobs now, but no leveling springs

floral bridge
#

you can apparently SSH into it

unreal haven
#

yeah i did that

floral bridge
#

well I think you'd have to run some sort of non-persistent OS in memory and then manually write the firmware to flash memory

#

there was a way to do this to install a third party OS on oracle cloud compute servers

unreal haven
#

well

floral bridge
#

lemme find it, you could abuse the same method

#

though if you aren't comfortable with it, you cld end up bricking it without knowing how to restore

unreal haven
#

im gonna klipperize it

floral bridge
#

so I think you just install alpine, and then dd the klipper firmware

#

and (presumably) alpine runs completely in-memory so it won't be affected by the DD

#

though if this runs linux, it doesn't seem like a generic microcontroller, I have no idea if klipper supports it
