Ultimaker 3 feeder jam free

 

I have a brand new UM3 and after printing a couple of prints print head 1 stopped extruding pla silver that came with in the box. After reading all the trouble shooting tips I did some maintenance thinking the nozzle was blocked. It turned out the feeder was grinding the filament and both feeders second is pva support structure. Now the solution looks to be adjusting the feeder tension, but I cannot ultimaker 3 feeder jam free any documentation on how to do this. Are there any pictures or better videos on how to do this?

To adjust the tension you should take your allen key and turn the screw there to position the pressure it should be at the middle. Ultimaker 3 feeder jam free note that the middle position is a rule ultimaker 3 feeder jam free thumb and some filaments do require a bit of additional tension due to manufacturing or material differences. For a very large part of my print experience, the middle works wonders.

But it may need a bit of playing with if you go off brand, or buy cheaper filaments, etc. Thanks for your help, it seems to be working now. The PLA and PVA that came with the printer needs the tension changed from the middle to one notch up one down from your pic.

JohnG - this is harder to diagnose than you might think. If the nozzle clogs it will grind. If the filament grinds it will appear to clog.

It's hard to tell which is the cause. For example if your print has tons of retractions I did an eiffel tower with a half kilometer of retractios - a half kilometer!

But this is just one of many scenarios. So your problem may come back again. Ultimaker 3 feeder jam free need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy!
