Awesome.. thanks for letting us know.. I'll get ordering a thermistor and replacing mine..

I wonder why they did that.. Hard to believe it's an oversight.. I wonder if it was an easy way...

Awesome! Good work.
Do you have a link to the thermistor you used?

No luck. Just the same thing.. clicks then it even stopped extruding all together.. when I pushed hard i would extrude.. then after a while it started again.. with clicking..
Any ideas what...

Even in the cold the minimum my bed reads is 40 degrees.. the two nozzles read the same 20 degrees that the room is.


@bigo93 - I've tested the nozzles with my thermocoupler and they seem to...

It's about 0.2mm bigger in diameter. The spring extruders didn't actually come with gears.. The brass ones I have came with two other spring extruders which didn't fit.

I've taken the nozzle...

Thanks for the help.. The extruder in your pic there is the same as the one I bought.
The brass gear though is different to the one that came with my printer.
I have three here.. I've just put...

Which pipe did you order? I replaced the extruder feeder with a spring loaded one and now it just clicks.. I can force filament through with my hand but by itself it just clicks as filament comes...

All looks clean.. and the set screw seems nice and tight.. yes there's a flat..

I wonder if this might be a good opportunity to upgrade the extruder... as I hear clogs happen more frequently...

I was printing fine lately with every print coming out exactly how I wanted but I've run into a snag again.. half way through the last 2 prints, the extruder stopped extruding. Then when I...

Looks phenomenal! Congrats!

Ah.. yes I wonder if it's a sensor error.. as a "quick fix" is there a way that I can set it to higher than 120 degrees? (which I'll measure with a probe to check real temperature) Whenever I...

Hi,
I'm having problems with ABS parts lifting.. I've tried blue tape / glue / hairspray etc.. however I believe that my bed temperature may be low... Measuring on a Fluke 187 it reads only...

Have you printed a calibration cube yet with Simplify3d.. I've read people with our printer having wrong dimensions on prints... About to try Simplify3d myself now...

Ah yes it seems like it'd be a little difficult to take a reading of the nozzle accurately..
I do have some temperature probes.. but not sure about sticking them in a nozzle! Although for a bed...

So definitely gettin there! I just did a little test.. solid disc type shape.. 14mm diameter by 5mm.. (same as previous tests) and with the filament loosely cable tied to the main cable run, the...

Thanks guys..
That's good to know that the speed that prints well is around the correct ballpark.. I was worried that it should be doing something similar to the defaults in Makerware.


I...

I've tried 200 205 and 210.. All the same really.. Although 200 didn't seem hot enough..

On the load command now, and the line it does before printing.. the extruder does sort of a chugging...

It seems to be the feedrate that is messing my top layer up.. more specifically the infill rate I think..
I had it at 90, but it just seems to not have control over the stream of plastic and it...

Yes, they're dear.. but I had to go B&Q anyway so justified it as each mirror was £3 something.. so not toooo bad..! I picked up some hairspray now too..

I printed a little more yesterday and...

Hi guys,
So I had another attempt at the 20mm cube.. with the red tape removed, and replaced with the blue painters tape from B&Q,
The start line that it does to clear the nozzle (I presume?)...

Awesome help once again! Thank you so much!

Plastic pulleys on mine.

I tried to print another example in the makerware list.. the teapot... but it only did a few mm before coming off the bed...

Amazing! Thanks so much for the assistance! And the fact it's co.uk makes it even better as I'm based in UK too!
I'm approaching this very much in the 'this printer has potential' rather than...

Well definitely on the right path!

It's cube shaped!


On each layer some of the lines were quite 'lumpy' so to speak.. not sure what would cause this...

Yes definitely 0.2mm as I didn't change that from the default in Makerware... I'll up that 0.33mm put the temp down a bit to 205 degrees and give another attempt once clean..
Thanks a lot guys...

Thanks for the help..
1) Yes it all had dislodged and was stuck on the nozzle in one piece. So nothing was on the bed as it was moving around.
2) Yes it did do.. not turned it on since as I...
