Re: Rev E. prints slower than Rev. D.

Ah okay thanks!

Rev E. prints slower than Rev. D.

Well, I picked me up a used Rev. E. It's working great! However, it prints slower than my Rev. D. A print time that should take an 1.5 hours takes 2 hours.

I use the same FFF settings on both machines from simplify 3D. Don't know really where to begin to trouble shoot this. Any ideas?

Filament Guide too far right above extruder

No idea how to handle this. Can't find anything in the manual. Is there a screw to loosen to move it back? Her...

Absent gross abus...

Z motor sounds different

Hey guys. A couple days ago my Z motor started to sound different. Before it sounded like the normal "Errrrrr" noise. Now it's a quieter, "eeeeeee" noise. Is this a sign that the motor is dying? Thanks.
