#M3D definitely made one poor design decision here. Overtime the motor can slipped out of the housing by itself. When that happened, the gear won’t catch the filament and extrude it properly.
When I slipped the motor even further from the housing, there appear to be glue dried. It sticks firmly to the motor but not to the housing and so this glue failure has allowed the motor to slipped out.
I don’t have glue around but I used tin foil folded a couple time and lined half of the motor so I filled the void between motor and pushed it to the housing. The result is a pretty tight snug hopefully it won’t slipped again. I gave the gear a forceful push and the motor did not budge so i think it works.
haha well I wasn’t thinking about heat dissipation when I did that… but between motor and housing I don’t think heat transfer between the two matter so much.
regardless, the motor slipped again from the housing. I really need to look for other alternative that is more secure but I don’t want to go as far as gluing them together…
@Step_Cia I think @Nathan_Walkner was replying to me. No, they are stock so far, as i want the option to use them with the controller they came with. @Step_Cia : I think your best option may be to do the same as the factory and re-glue the motor in place.
