The link does address the Mini and Mini +. It contains adjusting for a wide range of prusa printers as well as the MMU. Please look again.

Hi, The link you provided does not address the mini+. We want to reduce the pressure the extruder gear is squeezing the filament. This is very easy to do on the MK3S and we are curious if there is a similar adjustment on the mini+.

Hello,

I am curious if there is a way to adjust the extruder tension against the filament on the Mini+.

Thank you,
