Hi, I've got an Prusa printer with Wades's extruder. When I start printing it can print the first layers very well, but it print the other layers with bigger speed and the hobbed bolt can't push the filament into the hot-end and it just spinning, if I tighten the springs hard the motor heat up very fast.
I'm using NEMA 17 motors and printing on about 235C. I don't know what need to do, i hope anyone offer some advice?

Stepper motors don't get hotter when they have more load, so tightening the springs should not affect its temperature. If it gets too hot you need to reduce the current and keep the springs tight.

what material are you using? if it is pla, then you will want to reduce temp, and /or add an external fan to cool the pla going into the hot end. another thing, are you able to push the feedstock thru by hand? if not then look at the thickness of the wades walls. they may need to be oversized a little to allow feedstock to push thru easy.

you might wanna check to see if your not getting a jam in your hot end,
when it heats up and stops like that can you still push it in by hand.?

look at your gcode if there is no other m109 or m104 command to adjust temp then it is an insulation issue with hot end, but if after 1st layer temp is changed then you will need to address it in a software setting. in skein forge or sfact disable temp settings. in slic3r set temp for layers to 0 (zero) this disables temp change on layers.

To do this you will need to edit, re-compile and upload firmware to your electronics, I'm going to assume you already know how to do that using the Arduino software. - (If not let me know).
Hi RichRap,
I'm new to the 3D printing scene and I have successfully built the Huxley printer but I need to calibrate the Extruder using the Arduino software. I would be grateful for your help so that I can carry out a successful print.
Many thanks
