Re: Extruder keeps slipping
To update my original problem - the fix of reducing the flow to 90% produced two flawless 7 hour prints but only with the layer height set to 0.1mm. Increasing to 0.2mm resulted in the same problem, so maybe 90% is still too much flow for my current level of "clogness". I guess I'll buy some 0.35mm ...

Re: Extruder keeps slipping
that is the tensioning screw and it should be loose for pla (at least 1mm gap). 215c to 225c should be fine. which makergear pla are you using? I'm using MakerGear natural filament at 220. I think I might have fixed it. I set the Cura flow rate to 90% and so far the print is working fine with no sl...

Re: Extruder keeps slipping
This one. Anyone know what the actual technical name for it is? Also, make sure you're not missing the nut on the other side Yes, I checked various tensions on that screw and it didn't make much difference unless it's completely loose. I even replaced the nut with a locking nut from the spares that...

Re: Extruder keeps slipping
As well as playing with the tensioning screw, retract the filament entirely out of the hot end, unscrew the fans, and pull the extruder off the drive gear. Then gently wiggle the drive gear with your fingers. If there is any play at all, the set screw needs to be tightened, and preferably set with ...

You mean the drive head clamp screw? I've tried adjusting that to no effect.JohnnyRobot wrote:When that happens to me (usually after changing filament) it's because my filament drive screw is too loose.

Extruder keeps slipping
My M2 has been working pretty well since I got it in December but now the extruder drive keeps slipping. At first I thought its just the off brand gray filament I bought off Amazon but I just got some more genuine natural MakerGear filament and it does the exact same thing. At random times during th...
