I simply bought a set of leadscrews, couplers and nuts. No Z-wobble anymore. I do have skipped layers on Z-hops again but thats because the Z-wobble from before screwed up the X-axis ends i needed to...

Okay, i think i solved the problem. I woke up in the middle of the night for the usual reason people generally wake up. And i had an "eureka moment".

Hypothesis:
I hypothesized that i tightened...

That is the reason i am not doubting my slicer program. The G-code looks correct, but the nozzle seems to be physically higher than it should be. Later i looked at position of the Z-axis couplers to...

ABS only gave more problems. In addition to the "skipped layer" problem, after a few layers the nozzle started scraping the the print. At some point the infill and wall of the print came loose and i...

Update:
I have printed some more of my diagnostic cubes with nut trap. And this problem is very repeatable. I have also taken apart my extruder and X axis, cleaning parts and reassembly. Checked...

The extruder is calibrated, but i am slightly overextruding at the moment due to an increased filament diameter. The filament increased in diameter to about 1.95 mm. However i am not certain about...

Here is the bar, in my opinion, no big problems. (yeah layer alignment could be better i suppose. But this is nothing compared to the extruder body i showed before....

Here are the testprints that show the skipped layers, but not show the most obvious flaw present in the extruder, which i believe is an unrelated issue....

The steppers i have are: Wantai 42BYGHW811



I checked horizontal alignment before starting the print, this was ok.

Just one question, how do you explain these suggestions when this problem...

Hello all, yet again a different problem! Occasionally in my prints i observe a "skipped" layer, a layer which seems to be very underextruded. I tried to reprint that model on two more occasions,...

So i have been printing for a while now using a PTFE lined barrel (Friends E3D V6) and no more extrusion problems! (Well i do have one "under extrusion" problem. But i do not believe this is related...

Works a lot better, but still an occassional pop. Will report back after some testing.

Managed to remove the barrel from the heatsink. (I used the method i linked before, by locking 2 nuts together on the hotend block threads of the barrel, followed by torching the heatsink using a...

I bought the kit (including the hotend) at Orballo printing.

My PLA (BQ) is fairly new (3 weeks today). I also tried ABS++ (FFF), still saw irregularities in the extrusion stream. (Meanwhile i...

Accidentally deleted message so i will keep it short.

Tried printing between 20-70 mm/s.
Most, if not all prints shown are at 30 mm/s.

Unfortunately barrel is stuck in heatsink. If i remove it...

It is not possible to insert PTFE tubing in the heatsink.
I do have PTFE tubing between the hobbed bolt and the top of the heatsink (pictured) though. To be extra clear, i mean that i pictured the...

This was not possible, the top of the hotend (the heatsink of the hotend) does not seem to allow any insertion of PTFE whatsoever. i.e: the hole was too small.

Hello all! My name is Niels and i am a 3d printer newbie. I have watched tons of guides and tutorials on 3d printing. I suppose I spent around 20-30 hours doing that while building my printer. I do...
