Quotejaguarking11 Inner diameter matters to printers as much as the outer diameter. The ID helps with binding and or filament warp. The mounting options are also very limited to ID. For example, I saw another thread where people were talking about the spool unwinding itself mid print and tangling. My solution to this is to put some small drag on the spool via my bearings.

QuoteMattMoses Hi Everyone, this thread is for discussing ways to improve the RepRap Wiki. It continues a conversation started here. Do you use the RepRap Wiki? Why or why not? Do you have any ideas for improving it? Here are things I sometimes see people complain about: Information is hard to find Information is out of date There are too many links to commercial sites that add nothing of valuby thejollygrimreaper - General
I gotta ask this, is there a practical reason why we have licences at all? , it's not like the counterfeiters are actually obeying them anyway, in the history of arguments over licencing types has anything constructive actually come out of it? most of the time it's a pointless argument over opinion anyway. the easiest way to get around the problem is to simply not use a licence at all. it doesby thejollygrimreaper - General

Quotejaguarking11 QuoteDust A lot of these issues will be due to absolute crap filament. If you pay bottom dollar, you pay for it in other ways. I've seen many a person struggling to print, you give them some known decent filament and they are printing in minutes! The second most common cause is crappy hot ends from e-bay or aliexpress. All I can say is get your hot end from a reputable suby thejollygrimreaper - General
i'm currently making M6 hollow grub screws for myself, by drilling them out with with a 2.5mm or 1/18th drill bit, it's not easy because they are hardenedby thejollygrimreaper - Reprappers
currently slic3r-console is broken for 1.17 1.2 and 1.21 i've put it in as a issue on github but so far nothing has happened, i would recommend going back to slic3r 9.8 as the slic3r-console part still worked in that version i would have thought such a critical function would have been sorted out pretty quicklyby thejollygrimreaper - Slic3r
Quotecdru Quotethejollygrimreaper what you have there is actually a counterfeit E3D hotend sold as a JheadWhile definitely not being a real jhead, no where does it say that it's a E3D hotend. It's a hot end, and it's similar, but it doesn't claim to be what it's not so I don't think you can call it a counterfeit. Maybe a knock off...and a cheap one at that. Caveat emptor...you get what you pay fby thejollygrimreaper - General
what you have there is actually a counterfeit E3D hotend sold as a Jhead, I would suggest that you contact the seller as almost all of these e3d/jhead counterfeits are not built very close to the released drawings if at all. for genuine resellers of Jhead hotends :jhead wiki page and for genuine resellers of E3d hotends : E3Dby thejollygrimreaper - General
This is the Aluhotend-V6, it is the next version on from the V5C with a few refinements: - The nozzle has been upgraded with a small round flat around the orifice. - The heat-sink is now tapped all the way through and a hollow grub screw locking the thermal barrier in place which allows the hotend length to be micro-adjustable which is very handy for those who want to do a dual extruder sby thejollygrimreaper - For Sale

QuoteTraumflug QuotereifsnyderbThe problem, that I see with the wiki page, is that many people would just go to e-bay and buy what they find there without carefully checking the wiki page. That's certainly true, but there's not much you can do about that. What I envision is a trustable wiki, so words like "before hitting the buy button, check the RepRap wiki for this part" spread in all the makeby thejollygrimreaper - General
Quotevegasloki QuoteRobert_Paulson I don't know. The controller market seems a little bloated to me. The dot matrix analogy is really apples and oranges. A pixel is a pixel. A micron is a micron. Let me say this... There is no reason a fully functional 3d printer controller board, with steper drivers, can't be sold for 15-20 dollars. With free shipping.
