Re: M2 nightmare with soft filiment

First print in PLA done and fits great. I did not use support and it looks like the grove is not symmetrical and thicker on the bottom half. Next up will be to "Try" and print it in PETG with the currently installed .25 nozzle.. It fits in the OEM housing but I dont have an extr shaft and nut. It li...

Re: M2 nightmare with soft filiment

I modeled your drawing and made a few size changes and the bed is heating to print in PLA just to be able to hold it and put filament in the grove etc.. I expanded the grove to 1.75 and .875 deep an overall diameter of 16.5 to compensate for most of the groove depth so the filament is still close en...

I was under the impression that the current hot end was all metal with no liner..

Re: nozzle drawing?

Is your printer the M2? Upgrade to the new hotend so it is all metal..
You sure the nozzle is clogged and you are not just stripping out the filament.. The eSun PETG I just got works great no issues printing at 245C

Re: PETG fff

just recently bought a roll of eSun white PETG and it is really nice for mechanical part! With a proper calibrated starting height and extrusion multiplier it prints just like PLA . Sticks to the polymide tape really really well, almost too well. I use canned air upside down to freeze the parts off ...

Re: M2 nightmare with soft filiment

Hey this is great! And I have that bearing sitting in the shipping bag on my desk, have not opened it yet. I also have the files for the dual spring drive and am using it as originally designed So when I get a chance I will alter it to make room for a bigger bearing as I think if I make the sleeve o...

Re: nozzle drawing?

I just recently got that cleaning filament and prior to that never had a fully blocked nozzle, but could see reduced output occasionally . I have only started using PETG so maybe that will come with time.. Normally each day, prior to the cleaning filament, I would heat the extruder and run 100 -200 ...

Re: nozzle drawing?

The tape works great with PETG. I use the caned air upside down to get the print off without damage to the tape. Also built a jig (found another post about that) which lets you put the tape back on really well and fairly fast. I do use the glue stick with EPA as that stuff does not freeze off and ri...

Re: nozzle drawing?

yes, I have a bolt with the head cut off and a nut on the thread as a lock nut. I thread a new nozzle on, tighten the lock nut and place the bolt in a drill press. Then using 1500, 2000, 2500 an 3000 grit wet I polish the nozzle. Works real nice after that, nothing sticks to it, just wipe it off aft...
