Hello!
There is some sort of filament dust accumulating on the top of the extruder body, where the filament comes in (pics below)
I’ve noticed this on my A150, and was wondering if any of you experience the same and if it could become an issue for long prints.
Thanks!
Never seen that. Are you using 1.75mm filament? What brand? Looks like a filament issue Vice snapmaker.
That seems excessive. Can’t see from your picture, but I would check and see if the hole where the filament enters is beveled properly and isn’t sharp. Also make sure the filament roll isn’t binding causing it to pull against the edge. Lastly make sure your filament isn’t old or wet and become brittle.
Some people have had issues with dust on filament leading to nozzle clogs.
There are various way people attach a piece of cloth, or foam to ‘wipe’ the filament before it enters the housing.
I personally haven’t had any problem with it.

I’ll try a sponge. It has done that from day 1, so unless the filament came brittle it should be the bevel. It feels good on the outside, but i can’t reach the inner bevel to check there.
I could try adding a piece of foam, but it worries me that it could be eaten by the extruder.

If that doesn’t work, maybe try setting up a camera to watch it for a bit to try to figure out where exactly the dust is coming from? In the picture they look like big shards which to me sounds like the filament is being stripped by something like sdj mentioned
Yes, i would blame that too. Can i just unscrew the metal plaque at the filament input and soften the bottom edge if needed?

If this is the SM filament, than that could explain a lot.
A lot of people having issues that went away as soon as they switched filaments.
It’s been crap for a lot of people.

こんにちは。
フィラメントが太いのではないかと思います。
直径を測ってみてください。
1.75±0.1-0.5が通常入手できる寸法のようです。
私が梅雨時に折って置いたテストフィラメントは1.9ありました。
湿度の管理が必要になります。
また、スナップメーカーに付属していたフィラメントは…使いたくないかもしれません。
