Hi Ivan, I found with WoodFill being a softer filament that the pressure on the feeder needed to be reduced to stop it squashing, also if you have a lot of retractions in the same small rear the feeder is constantly back and forward on the same small area of filament again squashing it down, if it gets too squashed then it will either not feed into the Bowden tube or may be just not feeding into the heated head in which case the feeder grinds down on the filament still in the feeder.
If you haven't already I would highly recomend printing Roberts feeder and fitting that, much easier to adjust tension etc, I have also fitted the mod to the bearing that aids the concave groove helping to prevent squashing
Thanks, Izzy! I Your description is just perfect for what I watched with glowfill. Printing of Roberts feeder is started, i hope this will be enough to solve the problem. Thanks again!
