The procedure to stop the barrel from spinning loose seems to be over complicated (I could be wrong though). Has anyone tried running two set screws through either side of the insulator to pinch the barrel (stopping it from being able to spin)? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,31750,31750#msg-31750 Tue, 21 Jul 2026 03:47:06 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,31750,31759#msg-31759 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,31750,31759#msg-31759
I may give it a try, or i may just stop complaining and do it the way everyone else does :P]]> Adam.m.Nelson Mechanics Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:12:35 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,31750,31755#msg-31755 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,31750,31755#msg-31755
If however you use PEEK instead of PTFE, you can try using a high temp threadlocker, eg LocTite 680 to secure it in.
Though to use a thread locker, you will have to use a plastic that resists some chemicals like PEEK and not PTFE, as its super non stickm so threadlocker would not stick to it.]]> Grogyan Mechanics Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:50:01 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,31750,31750#msg-31750 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,31750,31750#msg-31750
