Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make my own reprap with upcycled things, parts made with the cnc and parts I bought.
I bought a « HotEnd Fully Assembled » on ebay as well as 20m of PLA 3mm just to try. My problem is that the PLA yarn turns out to be rigid wire that makes a loop about 16 cm wide and this wire must go 4cm through the teflon lining tube before it reaches the nozzle and therefore, it takes some strength to unbend the wire and make it straight for those 4cm.
Is it a normal problem ?
Is it not a problem ?
Any tip to make the wire more flexible before reaching the extruder ?
Any other solution ?
Thanks
