Please use the provided custom percision made ID 1.9mm PTFE tube for the hotend insert.Using normal 2MM inner diameter PTFE tube as insert will risk filament jamming.

TL-Feeder(Multi-Filament Feeder)
The TL-Feeder is a revolutionary extrusion system that expands the capabilities of any low-cost 3D printer.It allows your 3D printer to produce complex multi-color and multi-material objects with the simplicity of a single hot end.  

• Print with 2 colors or materials(support material,composites,and special materials).

• No dual head calibration required.

• No nozzle dripping(single nozzle design).

• No color contamination(single hot end design).

• Low moving mass makes it ideal for Rostock style delta printers.

• Durable injection molding parts long working life guaranteed(PA66+GF30).

• Snap joints free make maintenance more easily.

• E-3D ECO-system compatible.

• Lightweight and heigh power ceramic heaters  optional makes different temperature materials switch more quickly.(e.g.Printing 200C PLA and 240C ABS simultaneously)

• The TL-feeder is compatible with any FDM 3D printer that supports the following:

1. Dual extruder stepper motors on the controller board. 

2. A standard 100K thermistor for the hot end .

3. CURA slicer engine or Simplify3D.  

4. Marlin/Repetier/Smoothierware based firmware(this includes almost all desktop 3D printers)

Some customers report that they failed to use TL-feeder system.The major reason is that the filament switch jaming at the joint of PTFE tube and heat break.Even if the linking PTFE tube of 1.9 mm inner diameter and recommended Gcode setting are adopted,the filament switching still has problem.

If you want TL-feeder to update your printer for satisfaction,please do as follows:

1. If you are using the original or cloned full metal hot end,please replace the heat break with bore of 4.1mm version to ensure that the PTFE tube (outer diameter:4mm,inner diameter:1.9mm) can reach the nozzle.This is similar to the full PTFE liner design of lite6.But please bear in mind that this replacement will limited your hotend to printing temperature over 260 degrees.The whole set of hotend of this configuration is available in our shop.The 4.1mm heat break is already including in the TL-Feeder kit,you can simply use it.(Figure 1 Figure 2)

2. It is recommended to fix TL- feeder on top of bowden V6 heat sink with the adapter which is already in the attachment.It provides the highest success rate during our test.(Figure 1)

3. Please refer to the firmware and Gcode settings of Prometheus system for the best effect.https://www.distechautomation.com/pages/pro-sys-guide

4. Please keep bowden Collet clips well-locked after insert all the PTFE tube into it and ensure the it won’t slip.there is 4 PMMA Collet clips attched to the kits.You can also print out the clips by yourself if you break or missing the clips.(Figure 3) STL:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2125136

5. Regularly check whether the Collet of bowden tube are loose.Try to cut several millimeters of end of the PTFE tube and fix the Collet on the new surface of the PTFE tube to prevent the latter from slipping due to deep scratch.Change the whole tube if necessary.

Only support 1.75mm diameter filament
Only works well with bownden fiendly filament
Need more silcer using experiences than ordinary extrusion system
