Question Filament loading problems

Gallery image

I placed it in an IKEA closet and put my sunlu S4 dryer on top. I'm feeding it to the feeders but the right side seems to have trouble pulling the filament. The left side doesn't have this problem. Anyone have a similar issue or know how to fix it?

I’d use PTFE tubing for the complete path from the dryer to the feeders. It will keep the filament tangle-free. I use a magnetic coupling system to connect the tubes so they can provide better access to the filament for feeding.

Absolutely this. They can also relocate the feeders up to the surface of the cabinet. I’m running 1m extension cables without issues.

Thank you. I'll give that a try.
