Ultimaker S5
Fine knurl feeder kit
Introduction
This document describes how to replace both of the feeders of the Ultimaker S5. A new feeder with a finer knurled wheel was developed
to improve printing with PVA on the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle. The fine pattern of the knurled wheel reduces stress on the PVA material
and prevents it from breaking inside the Material Station. These new feeders are strongly recommended for the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle if
PVA is used regularly.
Requirements
For this repair, you need a new set of feeders (provided
in the Fine knurl feeder kit) and a 2 mm hex screwdriver.
Optionally, you can use grease to perform maintenance
on the feeder gear while performing this replacement.
The screwdriver and grease were included in the
Ultimaker S5 accessory box.
• Fine knurl feeder left (1)
• Fine knurl feeder right (2)
• 2.0 mm hex screwdriver
• Magnalube grease (optional)
Notes
Caution:
Make sure the filaments are removed, the Ultimaker
S5 is turned off, and the power cable is disconnected from the
printer before you start the replacement.
Note:
Both of the feeders must be replaced. The two versions
cannot be mixed on the same printer. Keep the fine knurl feeders
in the kit until the old feeders have been removed. Ensure to
keep them separate.
The new feeders have been marked with a black dot on the back.
