MK5 Filament Drive Thumb Screw Replacement
Description
Replacement of the MK5 filament drive thumb screw with a spring clamp and a sawed-off nail. Tired of losing prints because the thumb screw loosened half-way through, I replaced it with a spring clamp I got in a spring clamp pack at the 99 cent store. Whether the spring tension is too much remains to be seen. I've only printed one item so far, but the extrusion seems consistent and the motor does not seem to be straining. Now all I need is a less friction-full filament spool system and I won't have to watch my makerbot like a mother hen through the entire print cycle.
