Topic: Filament is hitting the top of the enclosure Solidoodle 4
Up until last night the parts I have been printing were all relatively small, just a few centimeters in the middle of the bed.
Yesterday I modeled up a bottle holder to hold small round bottles in a stair stepped fashion so the labels on all of the bottles can be read without picking them up. At the base it is about 165mm square.
When printing this I experienced something that had not come up previously. When the extruder moves toward the back of the printer after being at the front the filament is drug across the top of the enclosure. It makes quite a bit of sound and there is obvious friction because because there is filament dust stuck to the top.
I opened the top to keep this from happening, unfortunately that also meant letting the heat out and the edges opf the print curled.
Is there a way to keep the filament from dragging across the top of the enclosure? It seems like that has to be a potential [problem since the filament is being sanded down and there has to be some friction against the extruder feed as well.
