Bill:
Many thanks for this post! I have my eyes peeled for posts about Calibur
and Vantage problems. I have a new Calibur and it took me a bit to know
what it was you were talking about. Once I saw the filter, I understand
the problem. Our cap doesn't hit the filter but the tubing does. For us,
the filter is aluminum framed and the filter is also held in place with
aluminum. Our sheath cap clears the filter by a good 3/8" to half inch
with clearance. However, the tubing sticks up from the cap and it does rub
against the filter. Once I saw the situation, my concern is whether the
metal edges of the filter will slice the sheath tank (waste too!) tubing to
ribbons. Our machines may be somewhat different with regard to our caps
and clearance.
Just out of curiosity, is your filter made of metal?
Many thanks,
David
