Broken Extruder

Hi all

I've been having issues with my printer recently and it turns out my E0 extruder has broken.
The arm has snapped around the pivot point.

I bought a new extruder went to alter the Esteps and found out that it's not support with the mixer.

I''m a little bit confused what to do at the moment.
I don't actually mix the filament as it's quite poor at mixing. I use it more to switch between filaments either mid print or most often to use a different filament without changing it.

I saw someone had printed their own arm but couldn't find the print file for it.

Does anyone have any ideas of what to try next?

Thank you
Newls

:D Hi, Can your extruder discharge normally?

You can check if your Teflon tube is fully inserted,
The pressure of the feeder.

The actual arm on he extruder has broken.
For now i'm inserting an M92 E95 when i use T0 and M92 E430 when using T1 This seams to do the trick.

:D Hi, If your feeder breaks, you need to replace it,
Otherwise it will affect printing
