· UM3E Vibration and Axle Woes [field report]
It is hard to say way, but you should check every few months if your screws are all tight enough. Additionally, check play on the axles as described in the UM maintenance guide. Could be from some extreme vibrations which could occur when printing small infill areas along a wall or something like that. Sometimes I think my printer will fly away when printing such things and when is that case the screws are a little bit loose they could easily get looser.
The fan door is problematic but can be fixed with bending back. There are also some clamps on Youmagine to hold the door stable in place.
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

BTW you should change your silicon nozzle cover!
