June 6: Always Check Your 3D Printer Extruder Tension for Consistent Filament Grip

Introduction A loose extruder grip can cause under-extrusion, filament grinding, and failed prints. Proper 3D printer extruder tension ensures smooth filament flow and consistent extrusion. Why This Matters If the extruder’s grip is too tight, filament may deform or grind. If too loose, it won’t feed properly, causing layer inconsistencies and poor adhesion. How to…
