Build information:
- 3x 608 bearings
- one for each gear and one for the handle.
- It also supports using a PC4-M10 connector to hold the bowden tube in place -
- but you can use a friction fit alternative in the file instead.
- It's easier to fit these to the part first before adding the gears on.
- Putting together the feeder:
- On the feeder plate 1, there are two sets of pins - one slightly narrower and one slightly wider so you can choose the best fit for your bearings.
- Check which pins have a good fit for your bearings - you do not want them to be loose in the bearings as the gears will slop about - then push them into place on the feeder body
- Long pin on the right, short pin on the left.
- The small gear goes on the short pin, big gear on the long peg
