Rob,
I do not have an enclosure. I do have the fan and shroud on the hex .4 extruder. I think that 3d might be right on the twist issue, or, I am getting too much heat traveling up the filament.
Since I posted the issue I went to a new roll of PLA. I also reduced the temperature after the first layer from 220 to 200 even. I have been able to make three of the parts without any problem.
Once I am caught up (probably next week) I need to stick that old PLA back on and see if the temperature change made a difference or not. If not, then I will unroll some PLA and try again and see if it is the twist. I'm hoping that it is a temperature issue, as not using or stringing out the last 25% of each roll is a pain in the you know what.
Also, taking with Makerfarm support, recommendation to vegetable oil my extruder. Interesting, and I might give that a try as well. They also suggest that I can't use Slicr 1.1.6 but frankly, every successful print over the last two days has been using Slice 1.1.6. I am curious what the problem is with 1.1.6. From my perspective, it seems to do a better job at filling the odd little spaces that show up.
I will post more after I test the several theories.
