    Hi everybody!
    I have a Direct Drive Hemera that worked perfectly until I had a filament jam (filament broke just exiting the drive gears) and I had to dissasembly the extruder to clean it. After I put it back again, i was having 2 problems: 1st: when adjusting the thumbscrew for the tensioner it was doing like a racheting sound and 2nd: when printing, the idler lever moved back and forth when retracting, even though the tension was high enough.
    I dissasembled it again, removing idler, drive train, cleaning every tooth witch ipa and a little brush and put it back again, the ratcheting sound of the thubscrew dissapeared and the idler moving back and forth keeps happening while it can be heard a little sound like a very fade click only when retracting.
    i appreciate your help to try to fix this issues.

    Thanks!
