A10M extruder slam detector filament improvement

[vap38]

Hello,

I hold A10M very satisfied with the product very good quality of print nothing to say!

I detected an anomaly on the detection of the filament which generates a brake blocking punctually the scrolling of the filament.
The extruder begins to snap when the detection of the filament goes awry and opposes its free operation!
Here is my improvement I made a teflon sleeve a pen spring diameter 4 mm length 20mm caps the sleeve.
Of course it is necessary to machine a Teflon sleeve diameter 6mm.
Length 11mm a shoulder of diameter 4 depth 3 mm which is housed on the plastic of the extruder on the other side shoulder diameter 4.5 depth 1.5mm.

Drilling the teflon sleeve to the 2 mm diameter through everything.
Since this improvement the extruder works perfectly, no more snapping or lack of accidental materials!
I remain at your disposal if you wish to get a small diagram of the Teflon sleeve.
Note: during the change of the filament it takes a little patience to put everything in place the filament in the spring then the sleeve introduced into the extruder tube.
a+

good idea!
Thanks for your share.

You will get another problems after few kg of printing.
Did you try to put teflon tube to the wide end of switch enclosure?

Good idea
but for now everything works perfectly well for many hours of printing.
My system can be further improved.
I recommend this trick so more slamming extruder or filament blocks with detection.

Use rather spring no coloured, bare metal only.

Use filament filter.
