Idler door too tight!

Ok this is weird…I got a clog on my Core One so I replaced the HF nozzle with another original HF nozzle. When I tried to close the idler (extruder) door, it wouldn’t clip in…it was so loose it would simply fall open. Finally I had to sort of pry the latch on top to get the springs to compress and give me enough space to latch the door closed. I simply can’t understand what changed considering all I did was swap nozzles…so what dumb thing did I do?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

RE: Idler door too tight!

Are you trying to close the idler door with filament loaded? There shouldn't be filament present when closing the door.

Another suggestion is to follow this guide to get your idler door screws properly tensioned: Mounting the Idler-swivel assembly
