And so the learning curve continues.
Lesson 1. Filament will break in the middle of a Bowden tube.
2. You can't get 2 mm PTFE at ACE hardware.
3. when the filament stops feeding the nozzles will clog.
4. springs will fly across the rooms and get lost. That's what happens when you are not careful taking apart the filament feeder.
5. ACE hardware does carry springs.
6. Take your time and read ALL the instructions....
Not a good day, I now have a spare hot end coming ( be here tomorrow). I also ordered an upgrade to the filament feeder (Just in case)
2mm PTFE will not get here until Sunday (The new hot end comes with the Bowden tube on it.) along with a dozen spare nozzles.
So I now have to wait another day before I can print my brackets.
Nothing wrong with the printer, just the operator. Some lessons are learned the hard way.
