UM3 Feeder motor direction

[Dols 1]

Hello,

 

On our UM3 (not S3) sometimes material is slipping in the feeder. Changed the tention already few times and cleaned it. but did't help. So decided to replace both the feeders. We bought what we thought was same/compatible orignal feeders. But are not entirely the same.

 

The new one has a flow sensor, the release switch/lever is different. But it fits fine. at least we thought. But material goes in the wrong direction 😞 Looking closer i noticed the tube goes on the other side of the wheel.

 

Is there a way to reverse the motor direction (setting or wiring)? Or is it recommended to get another and correct set of feeders?

 

Regards,

  Richard

Hi @Dols,

you got the feeders for the S-line printers and are in the comfortable position, to decide, which far you want to use them, as the UM3 is capable to deal with the flow sensor (which originally was developed for the UM3, but never officially implemented).

The following thread should provide you with all information needed to unleash the full power of your new feeders (or just reverse the direction, which requires only crossing two wires):

 

 

I've upgraded both of my feeders some time ago and just LOVE them.

 

Regards
