Oh not even 30 minutes after I made the discovery that the hot end was messed up I already had a new one on order. I love Makergear and the last thing I want to do is become a bother, these guys are too awesome.

~Rick; I honestly cannot say for certain how it was bent, I was printing an "organic lamp shade" from thingverse (thing:480044) it was about 2 hours into the print when I came home. parts of the model were broken and stuck in the nested gob of PET+ but the overall strength of the model shouldn't hav...

sorry for the delay in replies, but no both of mine are PTFE. Been printing just fine on the second extruder, I was over extruding just a smidge but nothing too great. Adjusted fire and now my prints are spot on, few if any strings and no more gobs of filament coating the nozzle.

I would like to second all that Jules stated. I ordered my M2 in March and got it in the middle of April, I got the self assembly kit and it was extremely well packed and labeled.

I swapped to my right nozzle (dual setup) and tried the print again, apparently the model I was printing or s3d or something got all messed up because watchi...

I think the topic says it all, I came back from lunch with my wife to find the nozzle completely bird nested with PET+ when I cleaned it all off this is what I found. (below) Not sure what happened exactly I was already an hour into a print before I left and it was going perfectly. There was no glas...

Thank you both for your insight. Oddly enough acetone affected the makergear Black more then it affected the green or blue. from here I will try some gluestick (9 year old has it laying around everywhere) and if thats too much of a mess, I will try the hairspray. And yes when I purchased the hatchbo...

First time posting, but I was wondering if anyone had tips for printing lighter color PLA. Not sure if it matters, but it certainly feels like it does. I am currently using Hatchbox PLA which has some decent reviews and it certainly looks like a high quality PLA but I cannot get it to adhere to my H...
