Filament won't go through feeding mechanism

Posted · Filament won't go through feeding mechanism

I had been having extrusion problems so I disassembled the feeding mechanism to see if anything was clogging it up. When I put it back together and screwed it back in, the filament would get jammed up before reaching the feeding mechanism. It doesn't seem to be aligned wrong but I don't know what else to try out.

Any ideas?

    Did you mix the direction of the bowden tube? The one on the feeder end has a 45 degree bevel on the inside of the tube so the filament is guided into it. The nozzle end of the tube is just straight. If you mixed them up there's a chance that the filament will just hit the edge of the tube and stop.
