I was moving my ultimaker from one office to my home to use it for the weekend. Big print project and I wanted to do the finisging touched here.

I have just spent the last 40 minutes looking evey where and cant find it. :oops: :oops:

the belt pully is moving during printing and thats not really good.

    IKEA.

    it is a M4/0.7mm set screw, which is also used for in the DEKA/DIGNITET curtain wire system, and you can get a single one at the service desk, asking nicely. but regular hardware stores should cary them as well.

    if all fails, cut off 5-6mm from a M4 screw, and cut a slot for a flathead screwdriver.

    Just take the set screw from the pulleys on the driven axle and put them on the pulleys on the driving axle. The driven axle doesn't NEED to have the pulleys rigidly attached. I'm running without those four screws (two per driven axle) and it works fine.

    thanks for your help !

    I was able to buy a bag of 25 perfect replacement screws for 5 euros on german ebay :-)

    So lots of extra backups for these little guys :-)

    thanks for the help.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
