Filament is honestly the biggest variable in 3d printing. I know that is quite obvious, but sometimes, unrealized. I try for the most part to use the same brand of filament if possible. Most of the worst clogs have happened from using a random filament, where the temps were hard to get right. Some f...

I've clear snapped two of them so far. I promised myself to never do that again...lol...

Here is what I would do, and actually do when this happens. 1) Remove the hotend from the printer. There is a very good chance of snapping the neck/barrel off the hotend if you do not. (Ask me how I know. :lol: ) 2) Remove the nozzle. 3) Connect the hotend wires and turn the heat on, and you should ...

One of the advantages in my opinion is the ability to adjust bed gap in a non-mechanical way. The old way would require getting out the wrench and moving the bolt in a way without any measurement. Now I can get it close, print a calibration cube, determine how far I'm off, enter that difference into...

I hate to say something is impossible, but its very improbable. I have made many vases, with all different settings, none of them have ever been waterproof. All made from PLA. I have done very thick bottoms, doing like 10-15 solid bottom layers. Have tired multiple walls, with high infill. Again, do...

Yes, .6 Z Lift. Its not hitting on travel, it hits during extrusion of the next layer.

I am noticing that at times my nozzle is running into the previous layer. I think this is due to me having a high level of infill outlap, and thus having "extra" extrusion. The problem I have in lowering that is it ends up leaving gaps in my first layer. Any thoughts on a solution? My extrusion mult...

Personally I would remove the nozzle and check it for a blockage. Extrusion seems to be one issue, and cooling another. I never print abs, but in those pics where the outer perimeter is curved looks like excessive heat. Personally I would just print something small and basic and just see how that lo...

Would would you make of me going though about 1 every 2 months or less.

The tip gets progressively smaller to where its really not pointy anymore.

Infill extrusion width - what is that set at?
