Topic: Brass Barrel ID

Inner diameter of the brass barrel seems to be 3mm. If we're using 1.75mm filament is there any issue with using a barrel that's 1.75mm ID?

1.75mm filament has a margin of error and a 1.7mm barrel may not allow for that, which would cause problems.

Re: Brass Barrel ID

It seems to have not made much of a difference, but then again, my filament is pretty consistant.
