Wait a min
You turn your heatsink fan off?
Thats a no no it should be on when the printer is on. Ran to 12 volts at all times
Next the fan should blow on the fins. You want to push air through them.
Thats probably half of your filament problem.

Without re-wiring it, can I set it to be always on in Arduino / Repetier?

If you connected the fan to Pin9 (between hot end and bed wires) - Repetier may turn it on/off depending on hot end temperature.
Check my firmware configuration [forums.reprap.org]

Getting the nozzle height above the bed at z=0 right is critical for first layer adhesion. If in doubt, heat up the bed, put the nozzle at x=100 y=100, then lower the nozzle until it grips a piece of standard 80gsm paper against the bed not too loosely. Then do G92 Z0, then print.

Hi, my first post here, I am about to purchase this Kossel from Folgers and the original posts on this thread from 2014 make it clear shipping times were beyond necessary. is this still the case? part of the appeal is an American vendor so i don't have to wait for China delivery times. any other reviews or websites of American vendors for a Kossel?

Still having some problems with filament leaking in strands during preheat, usually curling up into the side of the nozzle. Any suggestions for dealing with that? Was happening even at 205c,

Use Repetier firmware. This video explains Repetier-related procedures....

Try to load this Repetier firmware [forums.reprap.org]
It's pre-configured for FT Kossel.
I tried using that one yesterday, and again just now. It won't compile for me. Here is the error I get in arduino when I try to verify it:
"
sketch\libraries\twi.c:1:17: fatal error: twi.c: No such file or directory
#include
^
compilation terminated.
exit status 1
Error compiling.
"
Sorry if I'm missing something simple. It's been a while since I've been so humbled by a piece of equipment. It's maddening.

Paul, have you updated your firmware to 92.8? I just downloaded your 92.6 and am going to try it now.

paul... what do you make of an extruder motor going in reverse for a second and then forward in normal direction for the target length ?

I work in a machine shop and just checked it against a gauge. It has an M6 X 1.0 thread.

Does anyone know what the thread size is for the push in fitting on the Folgertech stock hotend.
Thanks

By any chance do you know what the push fit thread size is for the fitting for the extruder is? Or are they the same size? I need to replace mine.
