Skipping layers?

[vtswordfish]

Just checked the gear on the extruder, seemed to be fine/clean. Did some other checks on it and still am kind of at a loss on it. I thought about upgrading to the spring loaded extruder block, which one did you use for yours?

Also it has randomly started randomly showing a bunch of jumbled mess on the LCD screen, not sure what's causing it, bad sailfish flash maybe? Its weird because I've printed on it probably a couple hundred hours now and it just started that!

I found a Set of Arm type extruders on eBay, at low cost,
from a place in UK.
I can look for details of that order if you need them ?

Spikes on AC power line to printer can cause the display jumble problem.
Can be caused by an AC type Fan or other device with motors.
Moving power-cords, going to printer's power-supply or to other devices, away from printer Mobo, can help also.

It's better to pay the extra £6 and get the metal one right?

It's better to pay the extra £6 and get the metal one right?

I've not tried that metal-one design,
the plastic ones work Great !

The teeth on Gear, that comes with metal design,
do Not appear to be Sharp enough, they look flat at tips.
So need to find out if original Gear will work with that design ?

Note: the metal one does appear to have spring-pressure adjustment
but I'm not sure if that is really needed ?
that may be handy if doing flexible or softer type filaments

(Personally I would go with the Plastic design,
since the original gears should work with them,
but you need to determine, for sure, that they will)

(The plastic ones, I got, Came with good gears but are slightly different diameter than originals,
so you need to find some extruders that Come with good, correct size, gears)
