Hello! I'm almost done building a shapercube, but having some problems with the extruder where i can't find much about on the forum.
Before I start to explain, I notice the equipment you use had a lot of influence on the problem solving; so some information about my printer:
Shapercube 2.0
I use a Wade's extruder
PLA filament (3mm).
My hot end was delivered pre-ensembelled: [
www.reprapsource.com]
I tried different temperatures and different kind of filament (ABS and 'soft PLA' [
www.2printbeta.de])
At first, the extruder runs fine at all speeds. But after some time it jams all of a sudden. The wheel keeps spinning, thus the hobbed bolt starts scratching in the filament. When i put the extruder in reverse, it does come out quit easily. Because i tried this on different temperatures and with different materials I think it is something in the hot end.
If anyone could give me some tips about how to check my extruder I would very much appreciate that!
