Filament Grinding UM3

Hi,

I've had three prints fail due to filament grinding recently. Is the advice here http://support.3dverkstan.se/article/23-a-visual-ultimaker-troubleshooting-guide#grinding

about the UM2 applicable to the UM3 as well? I believe the UM3 has a hex on the top as well.

Anyone else had grinding problems?

Everything's going fine, then all of a sudden the printer makes a loud distress beeping sound, moves very slowly, seems to get off its rhythm and starts air printing with no filament out of the nozzle.

Thanks.

    Is this with Cura? Because exactly that happens with the not finished s3d profile while using single core and using multiple processes.

    About thr hex screw, yeah the level indicator on the feeder shows the tension. All the way down is maximum pressure and all the way up is loose. I prefer something in between yop and middle, but depends on your filament.

    The quality profiles from Cura 2.3 should work very reliably with the UM3 and UM PLA. Did you use the so called "recommended" mode (in slightly older version it was called "simple mode")?

    What's the history of your printer? Have you had an incident where the printer has been "air printing" for a long time? In that case your hot end might be clogged, and you have to clean it (see UM website for instructions).

      • 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.
