Here are the original drawings from E3D for the 1.75mm heatbreak.
And I have attached the modified drawing showing the improperly drilled heatbreak.
Still can't believe it...
Copying a design should be easy enough when the drawings are publicly available... those people really don't have a clue about what they are doing.

Hi,
I have the same problem as the OP and I believe I know what's happening.
My E3D V6 chinese clone is meant to be used with a bowden tube and 1.75mm filament.
So the heat break has an area drilled into it, so that the bowden tube enters the heat break.
The problem is that, on the original E3D V6, the bowden tube enters the heat break only a few millimeters.
But on the Chinese clone, the bowd

Hi guys
The issue seems to have been caused by poor filament. It's the filament that came with the Sunhokey printer.
I bought a reel of 1.75mm filament from MG Chemicals on Amazon and so far I recommend it, it definitely doesn't have the same texture than the chinese filament.
The MG filament is much more "elastic" when hot so now I can bridge !
I did the bridging test with Slic3r but I expect

I'm going to do a few tests using Slic3r and I'll report back. Thanks guys !

Hi
Thanks for your replies.
I am using Cura 15.04.4
I have attached the parameters I used. Let me know if you see anything wrong. I didn't see any special parameter about bridging.
I also used Slic3r but I switched to Cura because I had some issues and also because Cura is simple to use (not that I am afraid of Slic3r, I was using it with Repetier Host, but I like ease of use nonetheless).

Hi,
I have issues bridging. PLA, printed at 205 degrees C, bed at 40 degrees C, speed 40mm/sec, 1.75mm filament.
I have attached two pictures (the same, one with flash, one without). The pictures show the first layer of bridging, over the big circle on the left.
I am using a fan, like this :
Any idea as to what could cause this situation ? The filament doesn't seem "elastic" enough. But if

Hi,
Thanks. How hard is it supposed to be to push the filament into the extruder by hand ?
I've been trying to extrude manually and I found it's really, really, really hard to extrude.
The motor has more power than the filament can handle : I see the extruder gear moving and then all of a sudden it goes back before the tension of the filament is so high that the gear cannot grip anymore and it

Can you explain what is specifically bad with the filament ?
Did you try changing the temperature ? What are the issues (delamination ? not sticking to the print bed ?)
Thanks

Hello,
This is my first experience with Repetier FW.
I installed a fresh copy of the latest arduino IDE for 64bits Linux. This is arduino 1.0.3
I copied the
repetier-firmware-0_71/boards/arduino 1.0+/HardwareSerial.cpp
file from the Repetier FW distribution to
arduino-1.0.3/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino/HardwareSeral.cpp
file from the arduino installation.
Then, I tried compiling, and I got
