Description

This feeder designs combines the two existing feeder designs from |Robert| and Geeks:

- https://www.youmagine.com/designs/extruder-um2-version-2

Additional assembly:

- assemble the two wheels with 2x M3x10 screws

Thank you so much for this.

Where does the feeder knurl go?

Also I believe the list above should be updated to say 2 UM2 Feeder wheels right?

Does anyone know if there are specs available to order the bearing? I would like to retain my original feeder as is in addition to this one.

Thanks,

Since we use the new MK8 Drive Gear it works almost perfect. See:
