Hi,

Had some problems with commercial bolts. Very often filament got stuck in the extruder. To be clear had no problems before using black colored bolts(fosfate plated).
I make these bolts myself these days. Just mounted a new bolt with very sharp teeth seems to work fine.

Question : is there information about the 'teeth' of these bolts. Meaning how sharp should these teeth be made..? I'm not talking about the depth here.

In the image, left commercial and right selfmade bolt, very sharp teeth.

Chris
