Hoping you guys can help me. I've searched the forums for something similar but most of the issues is Noobs who haven't setup their retraction settings right. I have had my e3d hotend on my Kossel for around 6 months and recently it seems that either my extruder isn't retracting filament correctly or my e3d is leaking. But it seems that I am getting large blobs of filament after travel moves.by rygreen93 - Printing

Hi Guys, So I have a bit of an issue with my E3D V6. The embedded bowden coupling seems to be wearing out and one of the little arms has snapped off it and so now the tube seems to be starting to slide out every now and then. So my question is. Is the bowden coupling standard (as in, can I get it from a local hardware store?) Or can I tap the brass inset so that I can screw in a standard bowdeby rygreen93 - General
I think you are experiencing what slic3r and curb sometimes do with calibration parts and that is line width. for a 0.4mm nozzle slicer will default the line width to 0.67mm. In slic3r you should print a single walled object the same thickness as your nozzle and set the extrusion width to your nozzle width. I realised the other day that I had overlooked this and decreased my extrusion multiplierby rygreen93 - Reprappers
What power supply are you using to power the heated as well? I know they come stock with a 100W supply which wouldn't be enough to add a heated so just wondering if your using an ATX and what wattage?by rygreen93 - Prusa i3 and variants
Nozzle diameter is 0.4. It's a brand new e3d 0.4mm nozzle so that's how I know. And I'm going to try and recalculate it again tonight as my calculation may have been offby rygreen93 - Printing
Man you guys are quick!!! Thanks heaps for the support. Okay initially I was using Cura but I have recently changed back to slic3r My extrusion multiplier is set to 1 now that I have put my e steps back to 440 instead of 503. I measure the 100mm of filament going in yes. And my filament varies between 1.73 and 1.76 which I thought was good enough to put 1.75 into my slic3r settings. Usby rygreen93 - Printing
Hey Guys, So I am going to try and explain this as best I can. So following Tiffid's calibration for my E steps per mm. By calculation I get around 450 steps per mm for my extruder. After measuring 100mm and recalculating the e steps based on the length of material extruded I get 503 steps per mm. However, my prints are clearly showing signs of over extrusion with this value.
