Installing the Extrusion Upgrade kit

Replacing the feeder

Note:

 Do not trap any of the wires 

next to the feeder motor. Ensure 

that the wires run between the 

motor and the frame.

•  Attach the feeder motor  

 

to the body with the feeder  

 

mounting plate, using the  

 

four new screws  

 

(M3 x 10 mm) and the  

 

washers from the old feeder.

•  Place the feeder on the  

 

back with the small lever on  

 

the bottom and use the two  

 

supplied screws  

 

(M3 x 10 mm) with M3 rings  

 

around it to attach it.

•  Remove the four screws (M3 x 25 mm) from the feeder. While  

 

removing the screws, hold the feeder motor at the inside of the  

 

machine to prevent the motor from falling down.

•  Keep the screws and washers and set the feeder and motor  

 

aside. You do not need the feeder and feeder motor anymore.

•  Take the new feeder motor and apply some grease  

 

(Magnalube) to the small gear. Make sure the entire gear is  

 

covered with a thin layer of grease.

•  Place the feeder motor with the wires down on the inside of  

 

your Ultimaker and place the geared feeder mounting plate  

 

with the hole at the bottom over the four screw holes on the  

 outside.
