New Tensioner Spring for the Filament Maker TWO

The tensioner spring holds the filament tightly, prevents slipping and helps the spools wind smoothly and uniformly.

What it is ?

The spring in the tensioner wheel holds the filament tightly, controlling how firmly it is pressed against the spool wheel.
This ensures proper tension, preventing slipping and promoting even winding for smooth and consistent filament feeding.

When to use / Benefits 

This Spring is used when the filament slips or spools unevenly. It provides better grip on the filament, reducing slippage and ensuring the spools wind evenly and smoothly By maintaining proper tension it helps prevent tangles, jams, and wasted filament
