Re: eSun PLA+ filament

Anyone else give this a try? I didn't have anything come up in the search. I have just started a roll of the black filament. Seems OK to me so far. I haven't done any real testing to check if it is hugely different from the regular stuff. The odor is equivalent to PLA, which is "mild to not much" i...

Re: Blowing thru Hotends

50 mm/sec is good. (i print PETG at 53 mm/sec) But do check the filament drive screw tension too, it might be a "dubble-pronged-problem", as we say here in the south. (Be sure to think that with a sloooow drawl.) :D Jules, Whatz ah Dubble-Pronged-problem :ugeek: and BTW that is a awesome hedge hog ...

Re: Blowing thru Hotends

I would guess the filament drive screw tension isn't set correctly on one of the printers. It's not clogging, it's stripping out the filament. (Did you look at the ends for stripping when it stopped?) 70 mm/sec seems a bit fast for shoving PETG, it needs time to melt, and if the tension isn't just ...

Re: Blowing thru Hotends

I go through nozzles pretty frequently... They're really easy to replace over the hotend. I build up a batch of six or so then blowtorch them all at once to remove any organics. Give us some details -- print speeds and temps are important here. what I mean is they become clogged (I think) it happen...

Re: Blowing thru Hotends

Is it just the nozzles that are going bad from wear ? Or are you getting clogs and then tossing the whole hotels ? I switched to the V4 shortly after its launch and am still running all three hot ends from a year or two ago. I very rarely get clogs and when I do it is easy to remedy and go back to ...

Blowing thru Hotends

Is anyone out there going thru Hotends every couple of months? for some reason I am getting constant print failures on an early V4 machine, I bought a second machine and had not had any problems with it. I do print a lot (like 24-7) the only thing that fixes the clogged prints is replacing the Hoten...

Esun Black support removal

Hope everyone is having a great 2016 !

I have a question about ESun PETG in Black, I like the way it prints, comes out pretty clean, but removing the "support material" is not so fun.... Sticky, Sticky, Sticky :shock:

any suggestions on support settings or ?

Re: HPB problems

Yes, the wire experienced fatigue stresses and eventually failed over time from the back and forth motion. I think this is a fairly common problem - mine did the same thing a month or so ago. You could print something, but I think my solution was better...I contacted MakerGear about getting/buying ...
