Hello ! :-) You could say to cushion size ?? D. D. internal and external width! Thank you ! Alex Elvis3D
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:
