Bondtech extruder tension

Hi,

I installed the extruder (not ifs version) after this guide https://support.bondtech.se/Guide/01.+Feeder+Upgrade+Kit/59?lang=en This tells: 2 turns loose for ridgid stuff and 4 for flexibels.

I recently upgaded to ifs version and they said in the video 4 turns for ridgid and did not mention flex stuff.

I usualy used 3 turns for petg, pla blend, asa and 5 for flex.

What are you using? Why this different informations from bondtech?

I have problems printing regular prusa pla and extruder tension makes a huge difference. So I'm interessted in your experience with that...

 

thanks

RE: Bondtech extruder tension

Could the confusion be because in the video they mean 4 half turns?

🤪 yeah your right. next video they tell 16 1/8 turns .... thx for clarification. Besides of that I'm rearly interested what tension other bondtech users use for different materials.

Just thought I would add two small but very useful tips for this area  1] replace that tiny plastic bit with a proper metal washer 2] mark the tension knob with nail polish to know exactly where your turns are and to be able to repeat its position. 🙂
