Problem Statement
How do you measure the pull force of the extruder?
Results
Minimum acceptable pull force is 5 lb. Tighten extruder spring if this is not the case. Motor skipping indicates limit. If motor skips before 5 lb, verify that motor current is sufficient.
- May 22, 2020 - 5.5 lb pull force. Notice small 3 mm spacer inside the extruder spring hole.
