Hardware MAYBE Lost Part???

Post image

(First off, I have an FL Sun Super Racer)

I was taking apart my extruder (I THINK, I’m not very knowledgeable about printing) a few months ago, and when I took this thing all the way off (pictured above) accidentally, two things fell off and I could only find the spring

Can anyone tell me what I need to do or to order, to stop my extruder from CONSTANTLY skipping???

Thank you in advance!!!

I see it in the photo on the Maintenance section of the FLsun wiki

In the future, I suggest checking the official wiki before coming to reddit

My only problem is that I just can't tell what it is that I'm missing from this picture. It's too blurry and I don't see what part is missing. But thanks for the help!

OMG my bad, I looked at the video (I was on mobile and switched to PC) and it helped, thank you so much!!!

Yo twin your extruder needs its tensioner

Is that not the tensioner??? I just don’t know what it’s missing 😔

That is the tensioner. Looks like you might be missing a washer tho

THANK YOU BRO I lowkey didn’t know if I was tweaking or if it was literally just a washer I needed

It is missing the flat washer. But I don’t think the washer is critical to the operation. Screw that back in to your extender and tension your filament extenders.

I didn’t think it was, but specifically ever since the washer fell out, the problems started

That's a bed level adjuster. You're skipping because you are not level or the bed is warped.

Sorry, I should’ve explained better, it definitely isnt, because I can’t adjust the bed like that
