"idler wheel" missing in MK8 extruder !!
"idler wheel" missing in MK8 extruder !!
Hello, I just finished assembling the I3 pro B 3D Printer kit. During the test I realized that the filament do not feed and there is no friction on it. The extruder motor works fine and rotate in the correct direction. So I decided to remove the fan and I realized tha the idler wheel is absent !!!! In that condition the gear have no contact with the filament. I need to solve the problem . Thanks.

In the PIC 1 is evident that tere isn't any wheel. What you indicate it's a small reflex. As you can see on the picture I take from manual, the idler wheel it's bigger.

Besides,the gap between the gear and the idler wheel in your extruder is too large for the filament to be pulled down...You can contact the seller for a replacement i think.
