Re: After Print Best Practices Help - 9 years ago
I found that there was a space between the PTFE and the heatbreak. After letting it cool off a bit, it created a really nice wedge that prevented retraction, and extrusion, i guess because it was too far away from the heat source that it wouldn't melt and allow movement. There's a picture attached if you're interested. I tried reinserting it and hope its a better fit. The ambient temperatureby spin99 - Printing
After Print Best Practices Help - 9 years ago
Hey guys, I must have missed this in the volumes of data out there on printing. Basically, once I've printed something on my Prusa I3 Rework, with PLA and Bowden extruder, what's the best practice to prevent clogs? What I do now is bring the temp down to 80, and then retract 20mm. I've tried other variants, including not doing anything, and every time my hot end gets jammed. Tried differentby spin99 - Printing

Any chance you could please post the configuration.h ? I'm in the same boat as you, been working on my printer (i3 rework) for about 5 months now. Motors are moving now, need to fix the endstops, and haven't tried extruding. I have 3mm filament as well, but will switch it up on the next printer. I'd say I have the same extruder as you as well. Any help with the config would be greatly apprecby spin99 - General
