Rattling/shaking noise (prime Tower)

Posted · Rattling/shaking noise (prime Tower)

Recent after updating the my UM3 extended, I have notice a rattling noise. It only seems to happen while wiping the nozzle on the prime tower. It makes a  vibrating noise as if it were struggling to move or if it were caught on something. Maybe its part of the update? I just unpacked it after a move it was boxed up for 3-4 months. ... its hard to hear but you can see its shaking and rattling.

    Not really. It is a comfort factor thing and it took a while to refine my temps for such a process. Usually, the worst thing that happens is I get a few 'nubbins' that I can either knock off with a finger nail or a tiny bit of x-acto knife work. Once in a while, I get a bit of PVA string caught in a layer of main plastic.

     

    Edit: Another thing I thought of is that since I am on the UM3E, most of the cool stuff that happens with Cura really shines with the printer. These are things like the start, print and end temps of the nozzles, taking time to 'fingerprint' various materials, etc.

     

    But, really, it was the failure rate and the cost of wasted material that got me to switch. Never looked back.....

        (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.
