Description
- The MK2-250 is fed filament from the top, through low friction tubing (2mm ID, 4mm OD) seated into a 4mm pneumatic fitting.
- A 2mm OD PTFE guide tube accepts the filament. This tube has scalloped voids where the gibbed (toothed) portions of the drive shafts of two stepping motors engage the filament and feed it further down the tube.
- At the bottom of the PTFE tube, the filament is routed to the brass nozzle, with which the PTFE tubing mates.
- At the nozzle, heat is transferred to the filament, whereupon it is forced out through the brass nozzle.
