Extruder press

grabcad

This tool proves handy when frequently switching filaments, such as for multicolored layers, as continuously holding the lever can be uncomfortable. Additionally, it prevents print misplacement since extruder movement is restricted during filament changes. To install the press, use two 50 mm screws, a standard nut, and a wing nut. Insert the taped piece into the lower plate and secure the screws - left-head at the bottom, right-head at the top with wing nut at the bottom. Adjust nuts until light pressure is applied for filament insertion. To change filaments, tighten the top nut with a key and bottom wing nut by hand until filament is released. Afterward, loosen both nuts again.
