I am new to filament extruding. I am using a filastruder to extrude a PCL filament. In order to use it to 3d print i need a constant dia of 1.75mm which i am not able to achieve. Any suggestions other than a filawinder??

I have had a few customers report successful PCL extrusion. They mentioned extruding at 85C. What temperature were you extruding at?

Been extruding at arount 85 to 90 degrees. I have the changed the mounting of the extruder to a vertical position after which i could achieve a little bit consistency in diameter but still not enough precise to use it for 3d printing for which i need 1.7 to 1.75 mm dia
