Ultimaker S5
Fine knurl feeder kit
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.
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.
