			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hello guys, hope somebody could help me here. </p><p>I tried to load a filament into my DaVinci 1.0A as usuall, but this time I didn&#039;t work. I disassembled the nozzle to check what&#039;s going on inside and I noticed that filament is stuck in white plastic guide tube and I can&#039;t push it further to reach gears. <br />I can&#039;t push filament through this metal element at the end of guide tube that is marked red. I tried with different filaments by using different angles, I cut filament&#039;s end so that it ends sharp. Nothing has helped.</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?kTQBzrA.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?kTQBzrA.jpg" /></span></p><p>I wanted to check if nothing blocks this metal element, so I tried to push my filament in opposite way, &quot;from bottom to top&quot; and... it worked - I was able to do that. I experimented a bit and tried to push my filament &quot;normal way&quot; by following the filament pushed &quot;opposite way&quot; but I was not able to do that - something stops filament going through it.<br />It seems to me that this metal element is &quot;stupid&quot; - it is not wired with any microcontroller or something that can decide if it is open or closed, so I can&#039;t really understand why there is this &quot;one way problem&quot;. <br />Do you have any idea what could I do to &quot;force push&quot; and load filament?</p>]]></content>
