Topic: Bulldog XL can not handle flexibles

I have encountered problems with flexible filaments on the bulldog Xl. Has anyone figured out a fix? Figured I would ask around before I tare apart mine and make a constrained filament path.

That's the deal put some tubing right to the gear from the top of your E3d.  You have a V5?

So doesn't the V6 already have tubing coming out the top?  Or did you just not install it?

Re: Bulldog XL can not handle flexibles

Ya, I doubt it is a bull dog issue as no extruder would likely do well without a constrained path.  Also, I had to tighten my tension arm a good bit compared to ABS in order to get ninjaflex to feed well.
