Lost a grub screw from a pulley

Posted · Lost a grub screw from a pulley

Hi,

I've managed to lose the grub screw from one of the pulleys on the the non-driven rod for my Y axis.

I've no idea when it came out and only noticed because during a semi-regular check of the machine that the pulley was able to move along the rod.

Has anyone else sourced one of these in the past and if so then do you know the size & thread details, or is the quicker solution to just get a replacement pulley?

Cheers,

James.

    My ultimaker is currently running perfectly WITHOUT four of the grub screws.

    I removed grub screws from the pulleys on the driven axle of both x and y axes. I think this allows the belt tension to be more even around the whole belt, as well as making the whole axis drive less overconstrained.

    That said I could send you a grub screw :p

        (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.
