Look great !!!
Can you tell me how to ‘easy’ remove (change) the filament from the extruder ?
last time i had to do that (because the filament was broken) i had to disassemble the extrudeur !!
thanks in advance for your answers.
First heat the extruder to a suitable temperature (PLA = 190°C), extrude a small bit by hand (turn the large gear clockwise), release the butterfly bolt, push the EXTRUDER BEARING CLAMP back and in a smooth motion pull the filament out of the extruder. Now you can feed new filament in, tighten the butterfly bolt a bit and extrude until the nozzle is filled with the new material.
Thanks for your answer.
it help me a lot because if i’m not using my printer during a few day,my filament (pla) become fragile and easily break !!
You can avoid this by placing the filament spool lower when you’re not printing. The filament is in a stress position when it’s not curved. Kind of like metal fatigue. Apply common sense.
Another solution to the filament breaking problem is to put the Z position at an higher place.
You may notice that when you’re leaving your printer after printing a tall model, the filament is less likely to break…
Thanks too
