If a stepper motor damper becomes worn or damaged it can cause a misalignment of the stepper motor and can cause the belt to slip. Slipped belts can cause layer shifts and other printing problems. Follow this guide to replace the damaged stepper damper.

    • re-attach geared pulley

    • re-attach stepper motor mount/bracket to the damper

    • Remember the screws you saved when removing the motor mount?

    • re-attach stepper motor bracket with screws from above

    • re-install pulley / tensioner to top of frame with thumb screw

    • re-tension belt

    • finally re-install the belt cover

    • Some people have suggested that this belt cover is not needed. It is possible that you could re assemble with one of the screws left over from replacing the damper to secure the damper to the mount.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
