Extruder Tension Adjustment

Hello,

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

Thank you,

Scott

Do you mean idler screw on the side of the PTFE tube that goes into the extruder? https://help.prusa3d.com/article/idler-screw-tension_177367

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

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+.

RE:

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.
