Hello there,
i'm new in 3D printing and i think that you still have the same problems like me, which forces you to abort the print. One of these problems is the movement of the filament. Sometimes it works really well. But always when i leave the room some diabolic thing happens to the filament. Mostly the spool tangles up and the print is ruined.
I mentioned that the way of the filament from the spool to the PTFE tube doesn't guide very well. So the guide needs help from anothe guide. Great, isnt't it?
Since that adaptation I've got no more problems with tangle of the spool.
You only need two things:
Bearing: 1x 608 ZZ (8x22x7 mm), also knowen from skateboard wheels
Screw: 1x M3x55 mm
Use the position of the screw that holds the layer, which is the visible bottom of your printer. Also showen in the picture.
That's it!
