For people who love the UM2 but could not do stuff like polycarb or pcabs due to their high print temps this is a great add-on!
perfect! looks clean and easy! love that you ceep going with how to videos and not only reviews.

Ha!
Great video. Glad I had some input to the upgrade project.
Best regards.
Steve Wood.
More than a little input Steve, it was great working with you! How's your www.gensole.com/ project getting on?
Yay! 2 videos in less than 24 hours apart!
I really like the idea of the silicone sock over the nozzle
Wow if I had a U-2 and would upgrade to the E3D Hotend and Extruder I would definitely use this guide :-) Nice Video Thom
Really nice video; i think will make sense have a video where you put in comparison the normal upgrade and the E3D upgrade and show which one is better and why ;)
In short, the original UM2 feeder is not fantastic, it is a bit underpowered and gets a bit too hot for PLA, so the Titan is a upgrade in perfomance in that part. (The UM2+ feeder is a totally different story)
About the hotend... i dont really see the point of swapping to a E3D V6 unless you are using your printer exclusively for ABS and higher-temp engineering plastics and want to be able to run up to 300C, since the high-temp performance is about the only thing i see as better with the V6.
I would just suggest to upgrade your UM2 with a Olsson block if you have not already done that, and then fit the TFM coupler and rigid spacer from the UM2+ and a E3D Titan as a feeder if you want to upgrade on the cheap and you will be printing with filaments in the
*****, swap the coupler for the TFM and the rigid spacer from the UM2+, and it will last a LOT longer (like 5 times longer or so), and it is about the same price as the original coupler.
Thomas, nice video as always, but is an upgrade worth it? How does the E3D v6 hotend and Titan extruder compare to the ultimaker 2+ upgrade kit? I have a stock Ultimaker 2 extended and have been pretty happy with it.
Great video as always ;) will you be at the 33c3 in December in Hamburg?
thanks for the great concise instruction video! I was wondering how one would modify the UM2 to be able to compete with the new printers 7 years after you did that mod.
Great tutorial. However, while showing me precisely how to swap them, it does not give me any reason why i should swap them in the first place?
I'd love to hear your opinion and maybe see before & after prints.
Just an FYI, parts from the latest production run (Feb 2017) differ from the ones shown here.
TIP: Install the extruder motor cable BEFORE you install the motor. It is a pain in the a$$ to do afterwards. I actually ended up removing the motor, installing the cable, and putting it all back together.
5:02 Attach cable using plug orientation, not what wire is closest to the others.
time-lapse prints with this extrusion kit would be great
Nice Video! Could you also make a review of the esun petg filament?
Benchy comparasion would have been awesome. Could you print one and maybe upload some pics..?
Hello thomas link for this item is dead on the E3D website is it because of discontinued product ?
How'd they get the silicone sock to fit on the heater block so well? I have some of them and a couple E3D v6's and the socks just don't go on and stay on like that.
Do you have any videos on nozzle size selection and printer setup? You seem to have a wealth of knowledge and I'm new to this and trying to learn as much as possible. I was wondering why choose one nozzle size over another and what the benefits of 1.75mm filament vs. 3mm are? Thank you for the informative videos!
If we take it to the simplest level possible, a larger nozzle = faster print with lower detail & smaller nozzle = slower print with higher detail.
+Erik Cederberg Thanks for the reply. I'm really trying to learn more about tuning a 3d printer.
4:16 "deez nuts" lmaoooo
Does anyone have any "long term" actual use experience with this upgrade?
Hey Tom, do the hardened nozzles, like the stainless steel ones that e3d supplies, have any negative effects on printing standard materials like abs and pla?
The stainless steel ones have terrible thermal performance, i personally have not used the ones i bought a year ago from E3D more than a few times because of the bad printing experience. The hardened steel ones are supposed to be better tough...
Hi thomas. I was wondering if the ultiamker range is compatible with 1,75 mm filament because i have a big suply of it from my old printer
No, they are not made to run 1,75mm filament.
They dont sell the kit for ultimaker2 anymore what do I need to buy to change the hotend for this one ?
I do not currently have a 3-D printer but am looking for advice on which would be a good point to begin. I have been trained as an engraver/sign-die maker and know about machine set-up. the only thing currently restricting my venture into 3-D P is funding which will be limited to about $350USD.
Joseph Wilson look at the wanhao duplicato i3 machines. I never used one, but they get some pretty good reviews
I have the Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus at home and an ultimaker 2 at work. The Wanhao is a good machine for the price and has given me great prints out the box. Currently doing a E3D v6 upgrade to it now though as its just behind the ultimaker in quality and speed.
which v6 hotend should i buy to upgrade a ultimaker 2 in 2023 ?
how well does it print now????????????????
Have E3D Ultimaker 2 Firmware? Because is not available in the website atm. Thx
hi um2 clone e3d v6 Do you have a double extruder for hotend?
You should check if the sentence at the end of the Video regarding the Amazon affiliate link. It may violate the terms of service of Amazon´s affiliate program. LTT had some problems there. But I'm not 100% sure about that.
This is how Linus Tech Tips got in trouble as well.
What is the point of this upgrade? How does it improve print quality?
The ultimaker 2 extruder is quite bad, it gets warm and starts melting low temp plastics. The hotend however is pretty good, maybe a little less foolproof than the V6.1
This is really not meant for the Olsson block machines.
Yeah e3d doesnt sell those upgrade kits for ultimaker anymore. Damn!
Sadly all the links for guides are gone, so is the kit
E3D have uploaded their files to Thingiverse (thing:1934309). What is the difference between the mount for the 1.75mm hotend and the 3mm hotend? Because I have the 1.75mm hotend but on their website it says "1.75mm coming soon"... Does that mean the Kit incl. 1.75mm hotend instead of the 3mm hotend is coming soon?. Just a little confused here...
Thomas Sanladerer thanks, does it matter if I print it in PLA or ABS? I don't think I'll be printing above 280°C as I know the hotend stays pretty cool up top even when printing in ABS.
***** Thanks Tom! You're the only TH-camr that is very responsive in the comment section. It's awesome! Never change my friend.
Indeed, the mount is identical... the 1.75mm version would be released as beta - and only if there is enough interest :)
Hello Tom....I know this is a lot to ask but, could you provide me with perfect working simplify3d settings?
I have the same printer with the same upgrade and use spoolworks pla
If you do... I'll be very happy
I tried everything the visual troubleshooter said but nothing worked
+Khalid Jabbar Almayah I'm not using S3D much - maybe ask E3D?
Thomas Sanladerer
whatever you use will work (if that's ok with you)
and I'll contact e3d too
+Khalid Jabbar Almayah also, I should have mentioned that this is not my printers - I don't own an UM2
Thomas Sanladerer Ok thanks
Is the bearing block (and fan mount I suppose) available on Thingiverse or the like?
Couldn't find one. I just put this together. It could certainly use some work but it will serve as a decent rev 0. www.thingiverse.com/thing:1930197
Uploading it this afternoon :)
Great!!!!

4:15 HAH got eeeem
Der Link geht nicht mehr, gibt es das Upgrade noch und wenn ja würde es auch mit dem UM2+ funktionieren ? Danke im Voraus.
Indeed seems like the upgrade kit isn't available at the moment, but it would most likely work on an UM2+, too
Ok thx
Partcooling fans / air flow are not positioned well...
-> use radial fans and air flow pointed towards the tip of the nozzle
Also the bowden coupler of the E3D V6 is hard to reach throu the carriage assembly
Some stuff E3D does is awesome the rest just average
Ok then this kit should fix the most annoying weaknesses of the UM2
I agree that using radial fans will be much better in terms of airflow, but i found out that the airflow is sometimes too much if your z-axis is close to the bed. Then the reflected airflow from the bed can affect your head!! And my radial fans cannot rotate when the speed is set below 27%...
Tom's correct - the fan ducts were re-worked by our engineers after Tom filmed this upgrade guide - we find the new design very effective. You can download the files for yourself here if you want to have a play www.thingiverse.com/thing:1934309
for the insane prices of Ultimakers this should be standard.
do one for the ultimaker 1. so i finally know what i do wrong
hätte ich doch nur ein Ultimaker :D
id love this kit in a 1.75mm version, i think thats the reason why most users dont wanna buy the ultimaker
Well, you will probably get your wishes, if you read on the linked E3D page it says "1.75mm E3D Ultimaker upgrade coming soon!" :-)
if i had the money for an ultimaker^^
You did say that you love to have the kit, and if you buy one of those, you only need to save a tiny bit more money to buy a Ultimaker ;)
i meaned, that id love it if it would be aviable in 1.75, because i like ultimaker, and most people dont want do buy it because of the 3mm filament
You're right, most people prefer 1,75mm because of the bigger material options. But you have to keep in mind that the ultimaker is a bowden feed printer, so 3mm works out much better than 1,75mm because of the stiffness.
So I wouldn't downgrade my ultimaker or any other bowden machine to 1,75mm
That bag is definitely Starmix, not gummy bears.
just bought a new v6, and the sent no gummy bears, which is what I waited for the most...
made me really sad :(
Bugger, wish they had an Ultimaker Original+ version.
Dalemoooooon It would not be too hard to do, you would just have to print some new pieces to hold the linear bearings and a holder for the Titan feeder.
And if you have a non-plus UMO you might also want to mod it to run from a 24V supply and add a E3D pt100 amplifier to get optimum performance.
Unfortunately, this kit isn't available anymore as it has been discontinued by its manufacturer.
they still make the parts though, just needs to be bought separate.
Will this work on the ultimaker 2 go
The Go is not in the compatibility list on the E3D website so I'm guessing not.
I can't find this kit :-(
L4nce0 same...
Does it really make sense to buy this (Upgrade Kit)?
The Ultimaker 3 will come spring 2017 ~
The Ultimaker 3 is already out since a month ago :-)
Uppsi ;D
Can you please share .stl file for the head assembly?
Search and ye shall find.

Just a quick tip, you maybe shouldn't tell us to bookmark your amazon Link as quiet a few youtubers have gotten their amazon associate accounts terminated because of that.
Great video though!
ok, I just thought I'd mention it as I don't want you to get in trouble but of course I'm not from Amazon so Idk what they want and don't want.
Really?!? I already upgraded to the + version😑
So, are you printing a lot of filaments that need 260 degrees or higher? If not, you are better off with the 2+ upgrade...
So is there a true comparison review between the two upgrade options anywhere? i plan one buying one of the two but can"t find solid practical guidance to the differences.
deez nuts :D
What a disappointing video. So you made a tutorial on upgrading to a different feeder and nozzle...but failed to show any IMPROVEMENT. Where's the test prints? Let's see it side by side with the 2+ upgrade. Why would anyone upgrade and you can't show any gains or improvements?
Quite simple, it is a e3d paid tutorial on how to install the kit, not a review video...
I would recommend the 2+ upgrade over this for anyone not going to print mainly/exclusively in high-temperature materials (250-300C print temperatures)
