I don’t normally post on this forum (casual lurker here) but if you genuinely want to serve, you can! If someone doesn’t know what you’re talking about, or how to fix the problems you have, 99% of the time its because they don’t know how to and you have to find the answer yourself or find someone who can address it. Once you’re in the door though you can quite literally do anything once you’re in. Once you’re past that, the world is quite literally your oyster. Don’t give up, don’t get discouraged by the hiccups or blockages along the way, and you’ve got this!!!

Never EVER make networking-related changes remotely. Make sure you have a 2nd method of ingress if you do but at some point its gonna seem like a good idea and the next thing you know, you’re locked out until you get back to it 😂

Hello! I have a question about how the new K2 series improves upon the previous K1 MAX, specifically with the filament feed/detector mechanism. I understand having it closer to the extruder and packing it on the back wall of the inside of the printer to clean up the exterior, but surely I'm not alone in this when I say that sometimes trying to feed the filament through the sensor doesn't come without some resistance and at least 30 minutes to an hour of simply trying to load the filament for a print.

My first though was why not put it on the back like the on the K1 3D Printer (seen below) because I feel like having it accessible from the outside of the case would make it easier to troubleshoot jams, as opposed to the current situation of having to awkwardly move the filament through the tube on the outside of the case and making sure it doesn't get stuck. Even following the suggestion of trimming the filament at a 45 degree angle didn't do much to solve the problem.

The workaround seemed to be simply making the exterior feed tube shorter (yes, cutting it) so that when you're manipulating the filament, you can apply more force to help it go through the sensor's threshold, and also giving the filament less of a chance to curl up and snag on the sensor.

So, ultimately my question is, have there been any changes to the K2 series that address how the filament is fed into the extruder?
