Parts:

  • [a]_latch_shuttle ×1 · bin 08-CW2
  • [a]_guidler_a ×1 · bin 08-CW2
  • heat-set inserts M3×5×4 ×2 · Fasteners, Tools & Misc box

Do: The latch shuttle takes one insert in its end face, the guidler arm one in its side boss. Both finish flush or only slightly below, never sunk. The latch takes none.

Check

A straightedge across the insert face rocks on the plastic, not on the brass. Count: 2, as p.15 draws them.

What you're looking at

The latch shuttle and the guidler arm are two of the extruder's blue parts: the arm swings the idler against the drive gear to grip filament, and the shuttle takes the thumbscrew. The latch hooks over the shuttle and pivots on a plain screw.
