Filament twisting between spool and extruder
Hi guys!
Since I've taken the print head apart and rebuild it, I experience a (kind of) funny behavior... My MK2s prints just fine, but after a couple of minutes the filament start to twist between the spool and the extruder.
Because the filament is still being extruded, it does not twist too much...but I'm not too confident to leave the printer alone for too long (the filament could twist eventually too much and break).
Everything inside the print head is aligned, no skipping or clicking or weird noises.
Could it be the PTFE tube or the extruder pulley?

Re: Filament twisting between spool and extruder
Check on the pulley whether it really is aligned perfectly above the "feed-hole".
If not, some friction at the "hole" and maybe in the PTFE may lead to some torsion...
