Posted · Feeder tension screw

I have been having some issues with the right feeder (labeled 2) on my S3. I looked up how to increase the tension on my S3. When I tried to increase the tension, I noticed that the tension screw is different from my left feeder (labeled 1) and doesn't seem to function correctly. It looks like one of the normal screws used to attach the feeder itself. I've attached a picture.

 

Is this normal? Can I buy the correct tension screw separately somewhere?

    That is the correct type of screw but someone has opened and re-assembled the feeder incorrectly. The head of the screw should be on the inside of the feeder to function correctly.

      • 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.
