First use XL Questions
Hi,
I have just purchased and set up the XL 5 head. I already own and MK3S with MMU and and MK4 but this is a different animal altogether
I have a couple of Questions.
Pick head 3 is very temperamental, especially with flex (I know flex was invented to drive 3d printing people mad but). All the other heads are no problem but this is coming up with a bend inside the unit in front of the drive gear causing a blockage. I think it would require a tightening to the gear. Has anyone else had this?
The second question is, the machine before printing purges the material over the edge of the plate before wiping on the tabs. Is that normal or are some of my config setting out?
Thanks in advance

No, reduce the idler pressure.

This is standard - and easier to pull off.
Cheerio,

Thanks Diem,
At least I get the dumb questions of the week award.
Not really dumb, it's a common problem but the answer is not obvious - there's probably another new user with the same problem reading this so listen carefully for the sound of a distant penny dropping.
Cheerio,
