| + | ====Usage Notes==== | ||
| + | * The extruder head may not pull hard enough on filament to allow it to feed properly if the filament is wound too tightly on the spool, such as when starting a brand new spool of filament. Make sure the filament is not wound so tightly that it won't unspool when the printer is printing. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Change Extruder Head==== | ||
| + | **Note:** If you do not follow these steps, it will result in the printer not homing correctly, and can damage the print bed or extruder head. | ||
| + | - Remove filament, as per filament change instructions. | ||
| + | - Remove connector cable. | ||
| + | - Remove small hex screw at the top of the extruder head. | ||
| + | - Replace extruder head, replace screw, replace connector cable. | ||
| + | - In Cura, go to Machine > Machine Settings. Top right there is an option to "Change Tool Head" | ||
| + | - Select the appropriate extruder head (either "Single Extruder" or "Flexystruder"). | ||
| + | - Go to Machine > Install Default Firmware | ||
| + | - Good to go | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Adjust Belt Tension==== | ||
| + | Tightening the belt is hard, but this is the workflow that I found that worked: | ||
| + | - loosen up the screws on the bearing that holds the belt | ||
| + | - push that bearing forward so it loosens up the belt | ||
| + | - undo the screw that holds one side of the belt, and pull it tighter. You'll have to hold everything in place or the bed will just slide | ||
| + | - tighten the end of the belt down | ||
| + | - tighten the bearing back down | ||
| + | - if the belt is too tight now, loosen the end and let a little slack in until it seems good | ||
| + | |||
| + | It's a lot easier to add slack back in than tighten it down. | ||
