Robert's feeder; how to hold the tube in place


Recommended Posts

Posted · Robert's feeder; how to hold the tube in place

Whenever I change filaments the tefflon tube (the one on the feeders top) comes out of the white collar .

Which is the right way to insert the collar/tube on the feeder in order to hold them in place all the time ?

    To retain the tube you have to pull up the white collet, and then slip the bowden clip under the edge to hold it up. Without the clip it will not grip. Look at the hotend end for how the collet and clip should look.

    If you've mislaid your clip then there's a discussion in the link below about printing a replacement. A paperclip can also serve as a temp fix while you print this.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
