Filament feeding slows down/stop mid print then resumes
Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2020 7:41 am
I am using an Artemis 300.
So I think the gear that feeds the filament up through bowden tube is slipping about 1/3 way into the print, the print will finish so the filament must start getting fed in after a few minutes but the print is not really usable.
I know some printers you can adjust the tension on that gear, I don't see a way to tighten it a little. What would cause the filament feeding to slow down part way into a print and then resume ok for the rest?
Should I take that piece and take it apart and clean it ? Could it be filament shavings in it that causes it to slip on the filament going in?
More pictures attached.
