Unusual Amount of Powder Around Print Area After Fuse 1+ Prints

It looks very similar for us. I contacted support a few weeks ago. After seeing several pictures from us and the log data, support was very confident in saying that it was the recoater motor and that it should be replaced with the corresponding motor shaft.

@LEADNAV wrote quite a bit about this in this post here: She is down again but I’m guessing why - Support & Troubleshooting / Fuse 1 - Formlabs Community Forum

The motor itself is not defective. It is the connector on the motor shaft.

We could take our Fuse apart and replace the entire motor assembly. However, since our Fuse has been printing without any problems for over a year and there is just a little too much powder on the sides, I will only do this if it is really necessary.

According to support, what was noticeable in our case was the fact that different doser offsets had no effect.

Of course, it is impossible to say for sure whether the cause is the same for other users.
However, if it were, hypothetically speaking, every user experiencing this problem would have to replace the motor assembly.
