When I said I can’t see how to change PLA I’m talking about the current SUMPOD extruder, not your new version.

About the extruder, there is no need to take it apart because the filament is fed in through the bottom and guided in to the bowden tube by the grove in the pinch wheel.
Since using this new extruder, I’ve been able to extrude this red filament I’ve got for the first time.
I’ve already started the update and hoping to make the files public by next week if all goes well.

I think I would still be struggling were it not for that. Managed to print the gear wheel last night. Realise now that I think I have x axis the wrong way round as the herringbone is reversed on my version.
Very interested in your update for the extruder; the current one seems to be a weak point. I Can’t see how you change the PLA wthout taking it apart.
Thanks again,
William

Many thanks for the amount of great, and proven, work you have done.

I will add a link to your site from mine as well as a post on the work done. Once again, many thanks.
