I am the proud new owner of a prusa mendel i2 with a wade extruder with herringbone gears purchased the machine already assembled and guy said it ran great, my issue is it was damaged during shipping and I've managed to super glue some of the pla part together and get it to travel all axeses great, my issue is the extruder I can manually feed filament fine but when it's printing it seems the. 35mm nozzle can't keep up with extruder and it ends up popping and making a racket and jams up then I tear it down clean it and check for clogs and put it back together and go again,am I just missing something or did I go stupid 1.75mm filament .35mm nozzle J-head Printing temp 210c for PLA Bed temp 70c https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,336626,336626#msg-336626 Tue, 15 Sep 2026 23:45:49 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,336626,338176#msg-338176 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,336626,338176#msg-338176 REPRAP SQUAD General Thu, 10 Apr 2014 23:28:50 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,336626,337750#msg-337750 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,336626,337750#msg-337750
if it's too hot, and its jamming on retract, it could be pulling molten filament back up into the colder section, chilling off then jamming.
Check out the available settings in Marlins configuration.h sections and also your settings in slic3r...esp those retract and temp settings.]]> ShaneH General Thu, 10 Apr 2014 04:19:23 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,336626,336816#msg-336816 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,336626,336816#msg-336816 so it has a new extruder with herringbone gears wich i belive is a wade extruder also .....im feeding PLA at 685 through it and after seeing a few more posts i think i need to be in the upper 400 range ,so i picked up a set of digital mics and a high temp infaread thermometer and going to try to give it a go again here in the next day or 2 ....is there a way to change the feed without recompiling marlin ?

thank you for your input on this issue ,cant wait to see it print good since i have friends already ordering stuff from me ...one for robotics and the other for model rocketry]]> tech5 General Tue, 08 Apr 2014 10:04:19 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,336626,336793#msg-336793 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,336626,336793#msg-336793
