Summary
This is a Flashforge Creator3 v2 extruder part that fixes problem with blocking flexible filaments
Problem Description
Flashforge Creator 3 is generally not bad printer but it has serious problem with printing flexible filaments. Pushed by the extruder gear, filament folds in empty spaces between heat block and extruder and between extruder gear and the feeder. Problem was illustrated on the attached pictures.
While Flashforge support blames not perfectly clean hotend and suggest having dedicated hotend used only for flexible filaments (!) the real root cause is bad design of the feeder (black plastik element attached to the extruder motor)
NOTES
This element is for Creator3 v2. Version 1 has different extruder AFAIK
