Extruder adjustment

thingiverse

The Kingroon KP3 and CR-10 require a plastic pressure adjustment to maintain optimal performance. This adjustment ensures that the printer's extruder functions correctly, resulting in high-quality prints. To perform this adjustment, follow these steps: 1. Locate the extruder tension adjustment screw on your 3D printer. 2. Use an Allen wrench to loosen the screw counterclockwise until it stops. 3. Turn the screw clockwise until resistance is felt but not too tight. 4. Re-tighten the screw by turning it counterclockwise in small increments until the desired level of tension is achieved. It's also essential to adjust the extruder temperature to the optimal range for your filament type. For PLA, set the temperature between 180-220 degrees Celsius, while ABS requires a temperature range of 220-240 degrees Celsius. Additionally, calibrate your printer's bed leveling system by adjusting the Z-axis screws. This ensures that the print bed is perfectly level and prevents warping or other issues during printing. If you're unsure about any of these steps, consult the user manual for your specific 3D printer model or seek guidance from online resources, such as YouTube tutorials. A well-adjusted plastic pressure system and proper temperature settings will significantly improve your 3D printing experience.
