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

Could the confusion be because in the video they mean 4 half turns?
RE: Bondtech extruder tension
🤪 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. 🙂

Might be why I'm having over and under extrusion problems ... which is why I got the upgrade in the first place ... anyone else here that's done the Bondtech and slice copperhead upgrades and what changes did you have to make if any in the configs and maybe do you have configs available to share ...
thanks
