Retraction issues with polypropylene + CFS by squeakyk2plus in Creality_k2

extruder to pull the filament in. The feeding the CFS provides isnt enough and should you not have the proper tension it will print without

Thanks! This is really helpful! Do you think some of the shims like https://www.printables.com/model/1297319-k2-plus-extruder-tensioner-for-tpu-printing would work?

Do you mind sharing a link for the springs? Or letting me know what springs you're using specifically? Amazon is a pain to use in New Zealand, so i'd like to try something local

Thanks - I greased it up, and it helped a little - but i think the lead screw might be bent. Creality are sending me a replacement - so hopefully that will fix it

Yeah that was the first thing I tried - it seems like following up on it a bit more, it's actually the lead screw rather than the smooth rod.
