Hard to say how good they really work! I think they help a bit to isolate it from what it sits on. I have made a bunch of vibration feet for various stuff. It's fun to design and make and they may actually work also.

Well, I throw in the towel on this. I have tried two scripts and neither works correctly. Then slic3r just make s a huge mess. It changes to the wrong temps after the first layer. It is massively under extruding etc. All of this is actually on my Flashforge Creator Pro. When I run it on the QIDI it is even worse.
I don't know what the issue is but I am far from getting anything to even come close to a real print.
Hey W, Here is a New Years present. I guess it's actually a re-gift cause I just found it on Thingiverse. No idea if it works or will crash your printer either, so I guess that makes it kind of a lame present...

Happy New Year to all
New heat bar, heat sinks and fan set up from our friend JF. Went together very nicely.

I've looked at those on his website, but haven't purchased them yet. I think they seem a much more elegant arrangement than the stock one. Should make keeping things accessible, aligned and stable much easier. I am most curious to learn how the hot ends behave vice the stock parts. Can you safely reach the higher temps needed for some materials now?
Here is a Benchy print. First print after a few calibration cubes. Not a great pic due to the light.
Still working on settings in S3D and always open to advice!
Haven't tried any higher settings yet. I am thinking to get some nylon and give it a go.

Hey everyone!
Before I start taking apart the extruder, I thought I'd ask a question I am sure is on the previous 381 pages! :-)
I have been doing fine with prints up until now. All of a sudden, I hear clicking which I assume is coming from the hobble gear skipping on the filament. The printer, while this was going on, was under-extruding. (I have seen this in the past with my other 3d printers during over-extrusion when it just can't push the filament out quickly enough.) I was able to extract the filament and run the extruder without filament. No clicking. When I put the filament back in and just try to extrude some into the air, I see it is under-extruding and clicking again.
Thoughts prior to a disassemble?
Thanks!
Update: I pulled the motor, heat sink, and fan off. They look fine. My guess is there is a clog further downstream.
