Extruder Holdback

thingiverse

This is a straightforward solution to a straightforward problem. I found myself struggling to feed new filament through my bowden extruder while trying to hold back the spring, which required more hands than I had available. This simple tool can be used to keep the spring compressed and facilitate the feeding of the filament. Its dimensions may not match your extruder's specifications perfectly, but a minor adjustment in width should make it compatible with your setup. However, achieving precise tolerances might involve some trial and error.
