How can i the easiest way clean the filament drivegear on a Felix Pro 2?
What will I have to take apart to get in there?
After at batch of bad ABS that keept giving me a filament JAM, I replaced the nozzle, but I think the drivegear needs to be cleaned too.
Cheers
Peter

Dear Peter, Taking apart is not necessary. I don't have pictures at hand. but basically take the following steps.
- Remove filament from extruder
- Open flap in front
- Take out hot-end
- Look from the bottom into the extruder, you will see the toothed drive_gear.
- Use a tweezer to clean out the teeth. It takes a little time, but saves you the hassle of disassembly.
