A common issue with the Qidi Box when using cardboard spools is that, during filament retraction, the spool exerts more pull than the feeder supplies. This causes the spool to bounce around and jam. Replacing the rubberized drive roller with this PLA version largely resolves the problem by reducing friction between the spool and the drive roller.
The rubberized drive roller can simply be pulled off the shaft and replaced with this part.
Tested with Polymaker spools.
Keep in mind that this part must be printed using a suitable material if you intend to continue using the Qidi Box's drying function; otherwise, the part could melt due to the high temperatures.
