Introduction
The Felix Pro 2 is a 3D printer made by FELIXprinters and that started shipping in December 201?. It features auto-calibration of the print bed, a dual head, etc. and strong, reliable steel extruders. Our machine was upgraded from the Pro 1 to a Pro 2. Print quality seems to be better.

Ultimaker Cura Slicer
We do not recommend using the Cura slicer installed within RepèetierHost (both the one that is distributed by Felix and the original one), since it is a very old 3.x version.
As of dec 2020, use Cura 4.8. A Felix Pro 2 profile is already included.
Clearning the drive gear
- Extruder jammin" could mean that are is some debris in the extruder, i.e. the drive gear
Disassembling is a lot of work, try the following first:
- Open flap in front
- Take out hot-end
- Look from the bottom into the extruder, you will see the toothed drive_gear.
- Use a tweezer to clean out the teeth. It takes a little time, but saves you the hassle of disassembly.
Printing with a 0.7 mm nozzle
- More extrusions, more heat, disable filament detection
Printing with PETG
- Layer size = 0.7
- Extrusion = 100%
- PETG can roughly be printed between 230-260 degrees and , try 240-250 with a 0.7mm nozzle
- Take retraction away if you print fast
- Remove filament detection, i.e. send the following g-code in the startup script:
M602 S0 P1 - Add banging floors into the wall (e.g. 50%)
- Infill 20% hexadecimal or some other that works well with higher speed.
