Has anyone of you ever experienced the filament to move away from the gear wheel and loose a print for such a stupid thing?
I found out that especially with slippery and flexible filaments like nylon this can happen as no matter how much you tighten the screws of the extruder idler the filament just departs the gear wheel to one side or the other and the printer stops extruding.
I redesigned the whole extruder idler from zero as I only had an STL file of it.
The new one is made in two parts so you can fit the bearing and after that fit the extended guiding part.
I hope you like it, so far I have not experienced anymore the filament to depart to either side or any other problem with it.
Please feel free to give me any hints and suggestions.
ENJOY!
PS. in the pictures GREEN idler... old version
WHITE idler... NEW Dani's version
