Offset extruder motor with respect to Filament tube

Hi guys 

 

I think my bond tech gear is too close to the ptfe tube on my mk3s mmu2s extruder, see photo. This is causing some grinding and Filament unloading issues. Any idea how to fix this? What do I have to disassemble?

 

Best

Tim

RE: Offset extruder motor with respect to Filament tube

Hi Tim,

You might want to take a look at this YouTube video:   by ozzloy.  His problem was not a chewed up ptfe but the video explains the chewed up ptfe problem I was having.  My problem was that the bondtech on the motor shaft was totally loose and wandering all over the place and when the gear teeth wandered over the ptfe of course they chewed it up. 

If you think that this is your problem I can suggest a YouTube video which will help you fix it.

Good Luck,  Bob
