How to I remove the filament extruder gear for cleaning or replacement? I am getting terrible under extrusion due to the filament slipping even at the tightest settings on the spring.
I can’t figure out hot to get the lever arm off to free the extruder gears.
Hello,
Have you searched among the Sovol videos ?
There are a lot of tuto like this one :

Yes, I’ve searched. The video you linked does not show anything about removing the extruder gear.
Ok that helped a bit. I managed to get the lever arm off and attempt to clean the extruder gear.
It is still slipping horribly (over almost no resistance when turning the gear by hand, but won’t push the filament even with the hot end removed).
I’m gonna try to brute force the gear off and hope I don’t break anything…
Dont need to force it but unfortunatly to get the large gear out all parts need to be removed. I hope I’m understanding your issue. The left large gear is too worn to move filament in my sv04. Got a replacement gear from amazon. The problem with that gear is the spokes arent quite aligning. They need to go across the entire length of the metal. If anyone knows where to get these, it would be helpful.
