Upgrade time: Bondtech v3 extruder and E3D V6

[adamfilip]

Almost done

I need to replace the Heating element as the one that came from E3D is defective
I have spares but its annoying

Head can't zoom in and tilt far enough.... I expect closeups :-P

Here you go

Looks great! I'm really looking forward to seeing how it all works!

I feel like my PTFE tube is too tight for my filament. I ordered some other tube with larger Inner diameter,
its really hard to push the filament with my hand into the ptfe tube. the extruder is surprisingly able to push it without digging into the filament.
but it is skipping steps trying too.

hopefully i will get the other tube tomorrow to test out.

...adamfilip when the itty bitty flex becomes available that x carriage would work well for dual e3dv6

You'd just need to figure out how to clamp the extruder in place and I just came up with a potential way to handle that.

I'll see what I can do about making it.

ok i switched out the bowden tube for one with more clearance.. things are working better
here is my first test print

i have retraction set to 2mm

100% fill cube
i notice corner blobs. suggestions to prevent?

longer coast

[adamfilip]

been playing with coast settings.. not sure what amount to set.. ive tried from .2mm to 1mm and not noticed a big difference
also noticed that the Z height of my prints is a bit shorter then expected but im confident that the Zstep is set correctly

The only thing I can think of is a longer faster retract to relieve the pressure from Tue nozzle much faster.
