[Prusa MINI+] Filament Feed Issue
I installed 3D Chameleon Mk3 on my Prusa MINI+ with the help of YouTube videos and information from Printables. The mode is set to Direct Drive Mode.

I have tested loading with PETG filament @220-250℃. It feeds it smoothly until the filament reaches the nozzle, but once it reaches the nozzle it is not feeding the filament well, perhaps due to weak tension in the gears and bearings. What should I do to solve this?
E-step is set to the recommended value of 152 for this thread (and for other settings as well).

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks! I agree with your recommendation.
I saw your recent post (tweet), and am excited with the new 3DClippy using a servo motor. I have two questions about that.
1. Will the servo motor be connected to the 3DChameleon board or to the Raspberry Pi that I will buy separately?
2. Will the new 3DClippy work with 3D printers with cantilever structures like the P
rusa MINI+? I am wondering how much more the weight of the print head will increase with installation.
I look forward to more information, pictures and videos about the new 3DClippy.
Additionally, I found a post in the forum about the 8-color version of the 3DChameleon. I am curious about this as well, so I hope you will publish pictures and videos in the future.
Thank you for your tireless efforts.
