Almost perfect. I use now @lars86 block, bo these do not hold belt properly IMHO. So I can hear scratching on one axis now.

 

@mariuszem, I find that hard to believe. What do you mean you "hear scratching". That is not how you would determine a failure to clamp the belt. If you want to check belt holding, grab the belt near the block in one have, grab the block in your other and give a tug. You should see no movement between the two.

Are you running GT2 belts?

    After thinking about it some more, I can see the potential for layer height settings causing too thin a clamp thickness.

    I published a tighter clamp variant, if you want to give it a try.

    @lars86 I do use GT2. I've printed all in 0.1 layer. My first test was a "tug test". Failed - belt moved (on reassembled printer:/). But clamp with heat shrink tubing on it, worked as it should. I'll print new clamp tommorow.

    Can the original wooden blocks work with gt2 belts and pulleys?
    @amedee said it doesn't work because the belts are 4mm too short. If I get a 610 mm belt will it work with the wooden blocks?

    It will work. 610 are more available than 606 indeed:)

    As I can tell you, 606 are awesome, couse you do not need to check tension, and UMO prints prefectly on these using 80 steps. Calibration STLs are perfect.

      • 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.
