I run PLA at 190. I have not played with the temps all that much, I have sliiiiight stringing, so I dont think I should raise the temp anymore.

Far as I can tell, it seems to kink/bend right above where the metal of the nozzle starts, basically right below the extruders hobbed bolt.

So, I think printbus, you might be onto something here, I will look into adding that section of tubing like you mentioned.

I used to have it slip, alot, but tightened up the tension bolts, now, I dont think it slips, until it has a jam.
I only use 1.75. But as I use the E3D hotend I had to drill out the hole to allow the plastic sleeve to be inserted and it has been brilliant.

As always there are so many variables and your kit is different to mine so my opinion is pretty worthless. Good luck with it; others have so much knowledge across multiple kit.
