Extra magnets

I love this printer. My Flashforge Pro is moping in the corner.  Putting it together I was told to put the smaller magnet where it belonged.  I did.  I waited for instructions where to put the big magnet and they never came.  The thing runs beautifully without but it a puzzle.  I get my factory assembled MK3s tomorrow.  I think I'll take it apart and put it together again.  That was fun.

RE: Extra magnets

If you are referring to the sensor magnets - the filament sensor will not work without both.

Pay close attention to steps 5 AND 6:

I was afraid of something like that.  Positioned to repel not attract.  I don't suppose there's a short cut to getting that in there without disassembling the whole thing.

RE: Extra magnets

Have you really read the manual?
The picture is taken from Chapter 5. E-axis assembly point 6 in the manual. 😉

I did follow the manual until that page.  Must have been late at night.  Rereading it I can't believe I flubbed to that degree.  It's working perfectly without out it.  What should I expect to happen when it doesn't?  The filament feed failure or the like?
