How do I adjust the tension on the filament?

Post by SerpentWarrior » Fri Jul 20, 2018 9:08 am

I am still working through a problem with the filament not extruding correctly. Basically the resistance is too great for the filament to be pushed through the bowden tube. I'd like to increase the pressure on the filament and see if that does fix the problem, as recommended, but I don't see exactly where to tighten it.

The A30 doesn't seem to have a maintenance manual to help with trouble shooting and repairs- so I am lost right now.

Hi

What type of filament do you have and what temperature do you set?
