Re: Inter-layer adhesion issue

Every picture points to and incorrectly set z height. You need to take an hour or more and set your printer up right. Get the bed level and z height correctly set . Print it at 190. If pla strings a lot you are too hot.slow your print speed down to 2400. This will help as well. Everything you are ex...

Re: V4 clogged nozzle - where can I find spares?

I just wonder how many of these clogs are just stripped filament. Are people getting failures to extrude and just pulling nozzles ? I think in all the years since the V4 released I have only had to unclog via blow torch once. And the only time you replace a nozzle is from extreme wear. Which does ha...

Re: New Extruder Drive Gear

Re: New Extruder Drive Gear

So far so good for me ...lol ...sorry Jim ;) It likes carbon fiber and petg so far. I have not tried it at any break neck speed yet to see if the smaller teeth are up to the challenge. What is the thinking behind this new gear ? I mostly only see easier filament loading . On a side note I like the s...

I'd think the only real fix is to re-spool filament to another good reel and at the same time have it running through a gauge that would trip the whole process to off if it hits an oversize spot in the filament. Kind of like when you buy bulk fishing line to fill your reel. Or just find another bra...

Re: Feed Failures with PETG

My roll failures are 100 percent definitely not my fault !!!! I handle all rolls the same ! Carefully ! When you cut 10 foot extrusion issues out of a roll that is inexcusable. Not the fault of loading and unloading incorrectly. And I have put new rolls on only to find 10 hrs in.... a crossed filame...
