Clean feeder ultimaker 3 free
Ultimaker 3 (Extended): Go to ‘Material/PrintCore’, select ‘Material 1’ After cleaning the feeder, it’s important to check the tension. I already tried to clean the print head, cleaned the feeder itself incl. dismantling it, cleaning it out and putting it back together.
Feed grinding material. – Ultimaker 3D printers – Ultimaker Community of 3D Printing Experts
By imbarobin September 19, in Ultimaker 3D printers. However, when I print some large job, after the 1st layer, I have the error massege on the screen says” material is empty” whilst plenty of material is on the spool.
I did some research and have disassembled the feeder and cleaned it. Set the tension to the lowerest. But the same problem still not solved.
It seems the grinding happened after retraction. My retraction setting is “Retract at layer change and minimum retract travel 0. Check also if your middle fan in the print head is working, it starts automatically when the print core is heating up. Hi UlrichC-DE. I have tried different tension setting for the feeder, all the way from top, middle and bottom, and I have no luck with the material grinding.
However, last night I have turned off the flow sensor, it seems to print fine now. On your picture the tension of the feeder was set to max high. If the feeder has such a high tension, this usually causes a blockage of the print head. Technically: – The material builds up a higher tension in the bowden tube. In most cases you can leave the feeder in the middle position.
All generic Ultimaker printer profiles and also Ultimaker materials do not require a different setting of the feeder. The screw is often the first to be turned if the printer is not extruding enough. But actually, this is pretty much the last step in the printing process to eliminate problems. From this you can deduce if the printing will work. It only happens on a large print, where there is lots of long distance movement of the print head. A few points that make life easier in the beginning.
At some point you get an eye for it. But only if you actually look at it. Is your issue fixed? I’m having issues with PVA doing that exact thing. I’ve tried the print core and bowden tube cleaning. Squeezing the lever or not, thye filament remains stuck I can see that your feeder is really tight and that is the cause of the ground up filaments.
Loosen it up a bit. Turn the screw so the marker is at the top. Get a nylon paint brush and vacuum cleaner. Remove the bowden tube. Then try to dislodge the ground filament while sucking them out. If that fails, try this Thanks for the advice, but I already removed the bowden tube, and I couldn’t remove the filament no matter what.
So I tried your last solution, and here is what I found :. I don’t understand how that could happen, but it seems the filament folded inside the feeder So I finally extracted the filament successfully, and launched a print with a new PVA spool : everything seems to work properly! PVA and Nylon need to be kept quite dry. Especially nylon. I don’t leave my PVA on the printer overnight if it’s not printing. I keep it in a sealed bag.
Whenever I get new filament with new dessicant I move the dessicant packet to my nylon and pva bags as the PLA really doesn’t need it. You can tell if PVA is too wet or any material because it sizzles and pops while printing and comes out more snowy than clear lots of micro steam bubbles. You can put it on a heated bed at 60C with a towel over it for 10 or 20 hours. I suspect that will work. Assuming that’s the problem. PVA is annoying in that if it gets too dry it also fails gets brittle.
I’m not sure this math is the correct way to calculate things for drying filament but it’s what I use. That should be safe I would hope. It just might take many hours for the water to escape the pva – especially on the inner turns of filament deep in the spool. But the same problem still not solved. It seems the grinding happened after retraction. My retraction setting is “Retract at layer change and minimum retract travel 0.

I’ve tried the print core and bowden tube cleaning. I’ve tried cleaning the feeder gear and applying more tension on the filament. All have failed to produce results. I’m starting to think it’s the retraction as well.
This I will investigate settings and see what happens.
