Too much bending and filament not cut properly #22

Closed Blendan1 closed 2 months ago

Blendan1 commented 4 months ago

When it cuts the filament it cuts it 95% but then just bends the rest out of the way, if I manually hold the rest straight it cuts it with ease. So my suggestion would be to add something to hold the filament in place or to push against. It doesn't have to be completely straight, just 40° off would work too.

Also the servo mount twists and flexes a lot while cutting (that may be because of the filament bending out of the way)

Have you printed the newest EREC parts? They should address all of the issues you're having: the mounting frame is stiffer, and there is an m3 heatset included in the encoder housing to act as an anvil for the blade to cut against. You can find these in the Discord channel, as they're not yet posted on the github repo.

Hi, could you try out the new Encoder I just pushed? It includes the heatset mod which should provide better support for the filament.
