    On the Play the Ubis13 fan is integrated into the larger extruder shroud assembly.

    Hello,

     

    Are there any changes to these best practices for using the Ubis 13S? The website says no fan required, but the Ubis 13S manual says to put a fan over the fin structure leading up to the hot end.

    While the Ubis 13 does require the dedicated fan, the 13S does not require the dedicated fan.

    The other suggestions for best practices still apply.

    What is the "proper" tension for the extruder spring?

    Hi Dan, see this video on setting proper tension on the extruder spring.  For more, see General Extrusion Troubleshooting.

     

    I hope that is helpful,
