Great video. I just have one question. My printer has a sponge in the capping station, did you remove that and replace it?

[@bloomingcanvasdesigns]

@@TimHocutt thank you! Yes, I removed it so the ink can flow better. It’s a hard sponge so sometimes it’s can be difficult to remove. I used a xacto knife and some tweezers.

Hello mine seems to be stuck . I was able to remove the spring but it seems stuck . Am I missing something

@@90chikiya Hi! There are these little edges (two on the top and one on bottom middle) that are holding it under. So after removing the little spring, you can gently push the capping station down and push lightly left/right until those lift from under. Be careful not to break the edges.

Hi, do you know how to change the pump?

[@bloomingcanvasdesigns]

@@benjisilverback4926 sorry, I haven’t changed my pump yet. You can join some DTF facebook support groups and they show how to change the pump.

I don’t know how to put the spring on

The big spring

[@bloomingcanvasdesigns]

@@kelliejones1168 the big spring just lays on there. But the spring has a certain shape on top so just make sure it’s aligned with the bottom of the capping station. If not, just keep turning it until it lays flat.
