UM2 and IRobertI feeder - filament snaps behind bearing
Posted: October 7th, 2019, 12:02 pm
Hi all,
I use IRobertI's feeder (https://www.youmagine.com/designs/alter ... ersion-two) now for many years but recently experience an annoying issue: Suddenly, sometimes after a few layers, sometimes very far in the print, the filament snaps behind the bearing in the feeder and then can't be moved anymore. This seems to happen more frequently after I change filament but that might be unrelated.
I already printed new feeder parts and replaced the bearing but nothing seems to help.
Has anybody that uses this feeder - or any other feeder - experienced a similar issue? How could I fix this?
