Ultimaker 3 cleaning feeder free download
After this, turn off the printer Remove the clamp clip from the feeder-end of the Bowden tube, press down on the tube coupling collet and pull the Bowden tube upwards out of the feeder Reduce the tension of the feeder by turning the bolt in the top of the feeder, until the indicator is at the highest mark Use the hex screwdriver to loosen the two bolts that hold the feeder to the back panel and slide the feeder backward away from the printer Open the feeder by removing the four bolts that hold the housing parts together.
Place the two halves in front of you, making sure that all parts are in the back section of the feeder Use a clean cloth or a cotton swab to wipe all filament particles from the feeder parts.
Use a paintbrush or an old toothbrush to clean the knurled wheel. Also clean the small gear attached to the feeder motor Apply a small amount of Magnalube to the gear attached to the feeder motor.
There is no need to spread this out; the feeder will do this automatically when it turns Reassemble the feeder by placing the front section over the back section, making sure that all parts are still in place.
Insert the four bolts and tighten them in a cross pattern, starting in the top-left corner Place the feeder back on the printer Insert the Bowden tube into the feeder by pressing down on the tube coupling collet in the feeder and pushing the Bowden tube all the way in. I am reluctant in lowering the tension as the filament looks like its knurled similar to photos in the manual.. This is my first 3d printer, and other than the feeder issue, the printer is nearly flawless.
I have been able to print extremely complex parts with perfection I had to get used to this system too. But once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. The only thing I haven't gotten used to is the fact that the spools are on the back of the printer, so I now have my printer with the side facing forward on the desk.
Sometimes it can be pretty curled, especially the last part of a spool. To make things easier, definitely make the leading edge as straight as possible. Also, try to make sure there are no overhangs or other issues with the end. You can cut on a bias Not square to the length of filament or, tinkergnome told me a cool thing you can do, which is heat the end a bit and pull until you get a nice center taper and just snip the very end off and it will feed into the mechanism much easier.
That was not me who told this to you, but it sounds like a good idea. A straight first piece of filament and a chamfered tip is usually sufficient for me, no need to lift the lever.
I wonder who it was I do not use the method you just described with the stepper motors running either though I agree, getting access to the back of the machine can be cumbersome I ended up using a cart on rollers and it has helped immensely.
It looks like I needed to do a better job of straightening the first few inches of the filament before inserting it into the feeder Thank you for sharing. You are welcome! This is a good community I do hope you enjoy. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.
Although this will not damage your printer, it is recommended keep the nozzles clean in order to achieve the best print results. Before starting a new print, always check the nozzles.
At least once a month, remove the plastic from the outside of the nozzles by taking the following steps:. Caution : Do not touch the nozzles and be careful while cleaning it as they will become hot. After many hours of printing, or when material has been ground down, small filament particles can build up in the feeder. These can end up in the Bowden tubes or print cores, which can impact print quality. Clean the feeders and Bowden tubes at least once a month, or after experiencing an issue with filament grinding.
Particles in the Bowden tubes can impede smooth movement of the filament or mix colors. To clean them, the Bowden tubes have to be removed from the printer. Small pieces of material can gather inside the printer, such as priming blobs. Remove these from the inside of the printer with a cloth or vacuum cleaner. Pay extra attention to the area around the Z limit switch as obstructions here can cause print problems. Caution: Leaving larger objects on the bottom panel can lead to errors, as they prevent the build plate from homing properly.
