Thank You all again for your willingness to share your insight with all us Newbies. I just started reading through the Set up hints and it just shows me how much there is still to learn. On a side note, my niece was over last nights gut and asked me to print three flat puzzle pices in pink. The only...

I've been printing the same thing for the last 6 months (Raptor Reload Hand) without any problems. It started with the Zig -Zag last week. I thought it might be the filament I brought (Inland) so I switched back to Hatchbox. It still happened so I ordered and installed a brand new .35 hot end. I'm u...

I'm not even sure how to search for this condition. When my extruded prints I'm getting a zig zag pattern. I attached a photo of the purge. As you can imagine it's causing hell with inter-layer adhesion.

So frustrating! I found out that after printing the base. The filament retracts above the gripper wheel but the printer just keeps printing.

I changed the setting as you mentioned and I thought it was printing great until it finished with the base. Once it started on anything vertical it just stopped extruding even after I bumped the temp to 210.

I have a Makergear M2 24V V4. Been having problems with blobs / zits / stringing etc. went through Simplify 3D's pictorial of bad prints looking for help. I've changed filaments ABS - PLA enabled / dis abled retraction (Distance, Speed Coast). I printed with temps ranging from 215 - 225 (PLA). The p...

The PLA didn't budge at 220. Tried several different rolls. This is my second brand new nozzle.

Well that didnt last long. I tried printing a prosthetic hand again with horrible results. The print outline is perfect, no adhesion problems. But there are blobs and strings throughout. I have been printing the same exact file for over three months. Except for a change in scaling factor, nothing ha...

Once again your collective knowledge and willingness to share has returned my printer (and pride) to it's original condition.

Thank You for your help.

Thank You for your replies. I started from scratch again and noticed some anomalies. With my fans removed, I noticed that the ABS filament loads between the gripper wheel and roller and precedes to the extruded. It extrudes for a period of time then just stops. . I bumped my temp to 230 and the same...
