UJF6042 MKI X motor stalled out the other day, got up to 140F degrees and started smoking. Shut it down and I've pulled the motor. Service manuals say it's actually just an E300532 motor for the JV33 series, same pulley too. In fact M007619 is the JV33 motor with pulley but no one actually has...

Starting from a existing frame/carriage kit would be really nice rather than having to scavange out those parts and every build be different. This goes beyond building a laser engraver or 3d printer frame from 80/20 extrusions! Even having a base model Chinese kit thats designed for the firmware...

Couldn't find a setting on mine, or anything in the service manual about disabling it. I am curious about the direct line ink system you have though - got any photos of it?

Just did this on a 6042 MKi. Changed the inkset option to disable the Clear/Primer. It will flush the lines then save that there is nothing there. Someone with a MKii will be able to 100% confirm the procedure is the same on that model.

Fixed it! Ended up changing the inkset to be just MCYB---- in effect removing Head 3 Clear/Primer and Head 4 White/White. To remove a head like that from the inkset it needed 2 cleaning cartridges. And it burned through 2 full 220ml ones just to disable those heads! Then, I readded The...

FEEDEVAL worked in service mode and printed from both White channels ok. None of the others seems to print.

Very interesting idea. Do you know off the top of you head if any of the service mode Check Patterns do not use the variable dot function? My copy of the service manual says these are available, I've been doing 100% and V-LINE. Will have to try all. 100% 50% 25% 6.25% NOZZLE V-LINE H-LINE SLANT...

RasterLink yes 5.16 which has been surprisingly bulletproof once set up. Currently thinking I may just swap this head out. But will first remove it from the printers inkset config and just run as CMYK then reintroduce it as into the inkset.

Ok found a problem! Test printing right from the printer still works. But any of the service mode "Check Pattern" prints do not work on White/White. All other colors work - but as soon as either White channel is selected to go, the head moves and UV lamp goes on - but no ink. So it's like it...

Deflate on channels 7/8 White/White went fine. Good draw of ink, no bubbles.

I'll deflate it tomorrow, have the tool. Reset the clock and got all the chips working so it's not that error now. Test print is still showing White/White running fine - will let you know how it goes.

When I run a job in rasterlink I can isolate just the White/White special layer and send that as a test only. Avoiding sending any other colors. Printer receives the data fine and runs the whole job, just nothing comes out.

I am totally stumped. 6042 mki has been printing fine until today. Both White channels on head 4 won't print, previous job ran fine so it wasn't like a mechanical issue. * Test print works great and both White channels test print * White maintenance function draws a vacuum and emptied ink...

Could you just replace the window? It's just clear acrylic.

Which machine, the MKii series? Don't suppose there's a way to tell unless you crack open the head. I wonder if the delamanation is like this which wouldn't show up on the outside.
