Tube detached after the filament sensor
Hi. I have a Mini+, manufactured this Spring 2022. I have the filament sensor installed. After this sensor, the tube then enters the orange block, on the Z axis. Well, it did go into the orange block, but now it has become detached.
It still prints. I can push the filament through the sensor and then directly into the hole. However, every time it unloads filament to do a color change, the tube flops down. It is not ideal.
I don't know whether the tube was just barely inserted into the orange block, or whether it was supposed to be deeply embedded inside the Z axis, and it actually broke off.
I should mention that I ordered the partially, mostly already assembled Mini+. I have the 3D Printing Handbook, but I'm not sure it's enough, and I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thanks for any tips and pointers in the right direction.
John
