# Over time filament will block the nozzle. to clean the nozzle follow the following steps:
+
 
# Remove remaning filament
+
==Printing on the Ultimaker 2 + or Ultimaker 2 Extended +==
# Get a 30cm of Nylon filament and straighten it as much as possible
+
'''Preparation:''' If you like you can do this at home
# Remove the blue horshoe clip underneath the white coupling
+
# [[3D-printen|Prepare the GCODE file(s)and copy to a SD card]]
# Remove the filament tube out of the print head, while holding the white coupling
+
 
# Select in the main menu Advanced
+
'''Preparing the printer'''
# Select Heatup Nozzle
+
# Enter the SD card with GCODE file(s) into the SD card reader on the front panel of the 3D printer
# Raise the nozzle temperature to 260 degrees
+
# Prepare the print table for printing
# Once on right temperature, insert the straightened piece of filament in the nozzle
+
## For PLA: Apply thin glue layer with glue stick
# Set the temperature to 90 degrees and wait for the printer to reach this temperature
+
## For ABS: Use painters tape to cover printing area
# Pull out the filament, be aware may require substantial force
+
## For PETG: Use glue from spray
# Repeat this process as often as required
+
# Switch on Ultimaker on the back side of the machine
 +
 
 +
'''Using the printer menu'''
 +
 
 +
For the next steps you use the rotary dial on the front of the printer.
 +
* Turn the wheel to go to a menu item.
 +
* Push the rotary dial to select (choose) a menu item.
 +
 
 +
'''Setting up the printer for printing and start printing'''
 +
 
 +
# Change material:
 +
## To change material or the enter material in to the printer, choose '''Material''' in the main menu
 +
## Choose '''Change'''. The machine heats up and first will remove existing material
 +
## Choose '''Ready''' once material is removed
 +
# Feeding new Material
 +
## Feed new material on the back side of the UltiMaker
 +
## Choose '''Ready''' once the material is transported through the tube. The material will be transported to the nozzle.
 +
## Wait till material flows through nozzle and confirm by selecting '''Ready'''
 +
Select material from the list. For PETG select PLA and apply settings mentioned above after the print assignment has been defined (see next step).
 +
## Return to main menu by selection '''Return'''
 +
## Select material from the list. For PETG select PLA and apply settings mentioned above.
 +
# Start printing
 +
## Select '''Print'''
 +
## Choose the file you want to print. Modify the settings, when required. E.g. the settings for PETG as mentioned above. The printer heats up to the required temperature.
 +
# Printing
 +
## Once the nozzle and print table are at the required temperature, the printer will start.
 +
## Printer releases small amount of filament through the nozzle
 +
## The printer starts printing
 +
## The display shows the expected time for the print

+
## Remove the print from the print table. You can use the thin putty knife, from the box, to gently pry your print from the table
 +
## Clean the printer table when required (remove glue / painter tape)
 +
## Remove the Filament from the printer by executing step 3 of this procedure
 +
## Once the filament is removed, switch off the print with the switch on the backside of the printer

## Store filament in the appropriate location
  
== Applicability ==
+
==Unattended running==
 +
The two white Ultimaker 3D printers are one of the few machines that can run unattended e.g. during the night.
  
=== Software ===
+
Unattended printing only allowed when you follow these rules.  
For the design of 3D models, the following software can be used:
 
* [https://www.openscad.org Open scad] - Openscad is a open source software for creating solid 3D Cad objects (available on Wndows, MacOS and Unix/Linux). Openscad is a scripting language
 
* [https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview Fusion 360] Fusion 360 is an integrated CAD/CAM/CAE software to design 3D models. For personal use it is free of charge (available on Windows, MacOS)
 
  
For the printing of the models , the printer needs a .STL file. Any CAD software that is able to convert your design into a STL is suitable for designing for the 3D printers. Alternatives are [https://www.sketch.com/ Sketch] and [https://www.blender.org Blender].
+
# Make sure you have enough PLA on the spool and check that it won't tangle as it unrolls.
 +
# Only print with Ultimaker listed and approved material. E.g. normal PLA, with normal settings.
 +
# You stay with the printer for the first 10 layers or 15 minutes to check the printing process.
 +
# You accept that other members have the right to remove your print, when it is finished or failed.
 +
# Plan to remove your print soon after it is finished, e.g. the next morning when you print overnight.
  
The printer needs a NGO file as input. A .STL file can be converted into a GCODE by:
+
Please leave a note with your name and email, so people can contact you, when something looks wrong, or want to know what you planning.
* [http://software.ultimaker.com Cura] Cura is used to slice the model and prepare the GCODE (file extension .NGO). To feed model the GCODE needs to be copied to a SD-card. The SD-card reader is on the front of the 3D printer
 
* [http://slic3r.org/ Slic3r] Slic3r is used to slice the model and prepare the GCODE. To feed model the GCODE (file extension .NGO) needs to be copied to a SD-card. The SD-card reader is on the front of the 3D printer
 
* [https://github.com/kliment/PrintRun PrintRun] PrintRun allows direct control of the printer and offer more opportunities than Cura/Slic3r. The GCODE  file is uploaded via the USB connection on th ebackside of the printer.

'''Important:''' If this is your first time performing this procedure make sure you are being supervised by an already experienced member.
  
  
 +
Over time the printing nozzle can get clocked with filament. To clean the nozzle follow these steps:
  
 +
# Remove remaining filament
 +
# Get a 30cm of Nylon filament and straighten it as much as possible (there is a box with leftovers)
 +
# Remove the blue horsehoe clip underneath the white coupling
