    sounds like you need to do the ptfe tubing mod.
    just about the first thing I did with both my rep clones was to take the extruder apart and insert shoirt lengths of p[tfe tubing between the input ands gears and the output and the hot end feed.
    The filament is probebly just not lining up on the gear feed.

    Aardvark,
    Again you come to my aid. Thank you. I will remove the fan and get into the feeder and look at that today. I will post photos and results as I go through this.

    I other printers I have always been able to twist the filament and get them to feed in other printers but this one just, nothing. I was holing that there was an "Oh its just this" kind of thing.

    At least now I have it in the correct forum title.

    Well as soon as I took it apart is was clear. A small piece of filament had broken off and was stuck sideways blocking the entry hole in to the hot end. Damnit I should have just took it apart and looked. It is working great now. I cleaned it and the teeth on the drive gear and tested it to perfection. I am going to do a dual head print as a full test in a few minutes.

    Thank you again Aardvark for your wisdom.
