Hey all,

 

Anyone else have the filament come off the guide wheel in the Ultimaker 3 feeder? The feeder plastic has been eroded away to where the filament can shift around in the feeder, and during use the filament comes out of the lever guide wheel, stopping extrusion. The lever "closes", like there is no filament in the printer. Pushing the lever back up pops it back onto the filament and extrusion starts again.

 

Bad news is this is happening constantly on me now, basically leaving my U3 with only feeder #2 since #1 doesn't print anymore. Any help?

    Take a photo please of the issue and since I'm pretty sure you are in USA email the photo plus your printer's serial number to support@fbrc8.com and I think (not certain) they can send you a new part of the feeder - the portion that is worn.  It might even be free.

     

    I'm not totally following your description but some of these issues they send replacement parts for free.  Even if not, it's probably very inexpensive.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
