Ultimaker S3 Feeder Tension

Posted · Ultimaker S3 Feeder Tension

I was watching a video that said the default position for the tension setting on the S5 printer is in the middle of cutout. I have the S3. I assume this is the same. Is that true?

 

Either way, my S3 has the screw above, not inside the box. Is that correct?

 

I cannot seem to get the tension position to move by adjusting the screw.

 

I took the cover off to see that is going on, but I was afraid I might break something. Any ideas?

    Hi, yes that is the same.

    No that is not correct. It really needs to be inside the box.

    I think if you put the screw in the box, that should solve your issues.

        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.
