Topic: Drive Gear

hello,
One problem after the other!  (Getting pretty annoyed spending 500 dollars on something that doesn't work).  The drive gear that pushes the filament into the extruder will NOT come out.  I tried the tweezers i tried pliers i tried everything!  What can make it come out???

Re: Drive Gear

Why are you trying to remove it? Post a picture of it from straight on and from the side and we can probably tell you how to remove it if it is really necessary. Also tell us your problem and we might be able to help with that as well.

Re: Drive Gear

If you look on the side of it there's a little screw (for an Allen wrench) and if you stick an Allen wrench through the grill in the side you can reach it (just spin the gear until the screw is facing the grill)
