I mounted them that way to have all wiring on the right, and didn't want the stepper motor sticking out as in FolgerTech's photos. (I really don't like a bunch of wires showing...)]]> MindRealm Printing Thu, 22 Jan 2015 18:13:24 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,458157,459167#msg-459167 Re: Do I need do change my extruder?

Don't you have any problems with the z-nuts falling out?
You have your x-axis ( motormount and idler) upside down.

It's stuff like this:

But, unlike in the video, start with just a few windings.]]> Ohmarinus Printing Thu, 22 Jan 2015 09:55:14 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,458157,458186#msg-458186 Re: Do I need do change my extruder?

Do you mean that I should insulate the hot end with a m6x32 washer, as on your picture? Do you think that will make it easier for the extruder to extrude the filament in the right speed, and not like in the movie I sent i my last post?]]> filiptheking Printing Tue, 20 Jan 2015 17:44:31 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,458157,458160#msg-458160 Re: Do I need do change my extruder?

Here's a photo of mine:



I would highly suggest insulating the hot end as well...
