4. After removing the motor, remove the two retaining screws that secure the gear to the motor, and exchange the gear with a new one. 

 

5. The horizontal plane of the feeding wheel should be aligned with the lower edge of the motor shaft (refer to Figure 4), and then install the grub screws into the feeding wheel until it cannot be rotated (refer to Figure 5).

Figure 4 Align the feeding wheel with the lower edge of the motor shaft.


Figure 5 Install the grub screws into the feeding wheel.

 

6. Reinstall the motor and leave a small gap between the gear and the bearing when tightening the 4 screws. The closer the gear is to the bearing, the better the grip of the extruder on the filament. However, they should not be touched. If you find that the plastic cover cannot be reinstalled because the feeding wheel cannot pass through the hole, please readjust the motor.

7. Reinstall the plastic PC cover (refer to Step 2).

 

8. Reconnect the motor cable.
