For the last few months I have had a hard time with my hobbled bolt eating filament. I have attempted to resolve this with every tip online and everything that Colin has suggested.

Right now I am using the Hexagon 1.75mm hotend and I think the design of the hotend equates to a lot of pressure when the filament is being fed. This in turn means my hobbled bolt is eating the filament. I can support this claim as the printer is warming up it oozes a large amount of filament.

So now I am looking into the E3D V6 hotend and one of the claims they make is the nozzle is designed to relieve pressure.

I want to know if anyone has any experience switching from the Hexagon hotend to an E3D? What results have you seen, etc.
