If tension is too high you get grinding because it can't get a good bite into the filament. If tension is too tight you can get grinding as well. You want it right in the middle - half way down on the indicator.
Other things can cause grinding such as printing too fast or problems with the machine. I wouldn't worry about it unless you are getting underextrusion on the part.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
