Topic: Shaft collar rubbing on flange

Hi folks,

I have a filastruder v1.5. I have followed the instructions up until step 6. At this point, I observed that the bearings are on the opposite side of the flange, and thus the shaft collar rubs directly against the flange. Realizing this can't be right, I turn to you for help.

Thanks!

Post a few photos of what you have so far. Can the auger slide back and forth? Most likely, you are misinterpreting the instructions. Only one thrust bearing is needed, since pressure from the plastic will drive the shaft collar away from the flange that is connected to the barrel.
