cleaning Bondtech drive gears
Hello,
I just had my i3 mk3s, excellent prints over 2 days and today the filament is stuck in the gears of bondtech. I am looking at how to clean these gears because they are filled with PLA residue.
Should I dismantle and how?
Thanks for your help.

Open the idler cover and you will clean the drive wheels.
If there are flakes of filament being collected there, you may need to tighten the screw (s) to extruder idler some more.
If they are too loose, the drive wheels scrape away material from the filament instead of feeding it.
