So last night while i was trying to scoop up small fish with a small containter I thought I could do better so i designed and printed up this little scoop with a mesh bottom. Its surprisingly durable.by ethicalfive - Look what I made!
You could try oil lubricating the filament. Since I started doing that it seems to help the filament move more freely. Ive been getting my cracked extruder head to push filament by prelubricating. Also if i go over 240 for my ABS heat creep causes the filament to clog inside the heat break. Thats bad news for me.. i was excited to replace the extruderhead when it arrives.by ethicalfive - Printing

If its the heavy duty spring, dissassemble the extruder head and examine for cracks. Mine came with a heavy duty spring which had put so muchby ethicalfive - Printing
Google mk8 extruder and geeetech forums and prepare for a spike in blood pressure and feelings of regret. I bought my geeetech printer around xmas after falling for the "decent cheap printer requiring minor tweeks" posts. Boy do i feel stupid now. The assembly was a bad experience for me, bent rod, oversized rods, seller stringing me along with promise to replace but nothing ever showing up. Ouby ethicalfive - Printing
