A three-dimensional printer head includes a receiver assembly including a main body divided into a front section and a rear section. The front section of the main body is independently rotatable of the rear section of the main body. The main body of the receiver assembly defines a feed opening, a discharge opening, and a passageway that extends between the feed opening and the discharge opening of the main body.
