The g2_ptfe_cutting_tool.stl does not seem correct #38

I am assembling a stealthburner/tap/Dragon toolhead and I cut the PTFE feed tube the length specified by the G2 jig. I then tested the filament path and kept getting hangups. I found that I could push that PTFE tube farther up into the G2 channel and they went away. After comparing the jig created PTFE tube and jig to the drawings, I am not sure how this could work. I did my own measurements and ended up making a tube that was 46mm long and it fit right. No more hangups. I am using G2 with the Phaetus Dragon hotend parts. See included drawing.

You didn't read page 47 in the manual. You're using the PTFE cutting jig incorrectly; it's designed to sit on top of the hotend section, as every hotend assembly requires a different length of PTFE tube below the top of the mount itself. Making the jig start at the top of the hotend assembly assures that every hotend assembly will work with a single jig.

This is also the same approach that CW2 uses, with a cutting jig 11mm above the top of the hotend assembly... G2 just needs ~30mm.

doh!, sorry missed that part. I am trying to build a stealthburner + tap + galileo2, each with their own manuals (as you know) and I ended up following the directions from the stealthburner manual. It turns out that on my setup if you use the cw2 jig on the desktop for cutting the tube, it comes out the same length as the stealthburner tube - so I thought I was using it correctly. Thanks for clearing this up.

user error.

No worries! I appreciate the thoroughness of your initial post at least, that made finding the issue a lot easier!
