I am back the jhead and so far no issues, if that keeps up then I know it was on the Hexagon side of things. I will swap it back in and kick up the print temp 5deg at time to see if that solves the...

Are you running PLA or ABS, and for what ever you run what do you use for temps?

Filement is 1.75 on both, in fact same exact spool. .40 noddle on both. After installing the Bulldog I reset the steps to what the bulldog recommended then did a calibration to make sure it was...

Is there teflon inside the Hexagon? According to MF site and other places it is all metal. The jam was not surprising see the issues others have had with this hot end. I noticed MF is going the E3D...

I recently switched form a Gregs/Jhead setup to a Bulldog Lite / Hexagon setup. After several prints I started getting jams/clicking from the extruder. The hobbed gear on the extruder was always...

Nice like the incorporation of the slot for a servo for ABL.

I have a E3D Lite as well as the Hexagon. I had intended to use the E3D with the Bulldog but found I needed a different mount then the...

Have and pictures of your mount?

I got mine running tonight (Bulldog Lite and Hexagon) and so far all I have to say is WOW! Not sure I have ever seen anything come out of my J-Head/Gregs combo...

Working on installing my Bulldog Lite and have a few questions.

Are you using the PTFE tube? I have seen it both ways, not to hard to try it both ways as well just curious about users experience...

not to hijack but curious about why you sold your Rostock V2. I have one along with an i3v 10" and MM 1.5+. They all have their pros and cons, but just interested what you did not like about it.

8 inch i3 here, just received my upgrade kit to turn it into a 10" i3v plus a new Hexagon hot end. I have had some ups and downs with my printer over the past year but honestly all the downs were...

Just had the issues again and it seems the nut came out of the trap. Something I over looked so thanks for the comments. I checked the rods when I pulled off the panel and they look find but may just...

Did you end up replacing your Z threaded rod?

Last night I had a few prints go wonky right after that start. As I started looking at the printer I noticed that my X carriage was no longer level. Releveling the X carriage fixed the printing...

So updated to dacb's fork of Marlin with ABL this weekend. So far things are good but I have one new issue on overhangs that so far I can get to go away.
...

Working on updating my firmware to dacb's trunk. One thing I noticed was that in my original configuration.h max_bed_power and PID_integral_drive were 256, where as in dcab's it its 255. In reading...

Thanks again for the help. I am still on my first set of extruder printed parts as well, they do wear, surprised how long they have lasted.

Now I just need to get my auto bed leveling setup...

So I adjusted my e steps to 889 after after doing several extrusion test measurements. Did a few 20 mm cube prints and at least on the first few layers I was still getting a bit of excess. Doing a...

Yes when I first got the printer last year I went through all of the calibration and for a long time things were good. But something has gone away and I am having a hard time figuring out what it is....

In Slic3r I have auto cooling enabled with the Cooling thresholds set at

Enable fan 60 (no fan at this time, use one on my MM 1.5 since its used for PLA)
Slow down 30
Min print speed 10mm/s

As of late the print quality on my i3 8" has gone down and I can't seem to figure out why.

Basic stats - i3 (non v) 8" running 1.75 J-head with .40 nozzle, printing ABS at 225 on to kapton bed...

I have had the same thing, in fact that happened this past month.

After some tinkering today I realized that some of it was the nuts for the Y threaded rods coming lose over time. Tightened those...

One other question. Did you ever have issues with bed slop on the i3? I would think the single hole idlers running against the V slot rails on th i3v would be more solid (less potential...

Thanks for the feedback.

AbuMaia I see you have a E3D. Did you start with the jhead on your i3 and if so how do you like the E3D?

I have an original 8" i3 (non Vslot) and have been considering picking up the kit to turn it into an i3v. Seeing if anyone else has done this or owns both styles (even if different sizes). I...

When printing taller objects I started adding more external walls/perimeters and lowering the infill in order to combat warping and worse layer separation. I also moved to hairspray on kapton tape,...
