Ok, so I made this heat sink to use with the parts and I still get jamming. I can push the filament forcefully and it will extrude, but the stepper just kicks back. I'm just going to buy the j-head light and be done with it. I tryed to put the temperature to 230 but no help. just makes bubbling sounds.by duranza - Smart_Rap
Oh cool.. I didn't see that they sold the parts.. I'll be buying this asap. Thanks...by duranza - Smart_Rap
Thanks so much for everybody's input. This is the reason why I took on this project. It is open source and people help each other. I'm very hands on, and very good with cnc manufacturing (14 years exp) but thermodynamics took me by surprise. Eventually we all will stumble with the not such good ways of doing things and hopefully turns into a wiki/ reference for others not to make the same mistakeby duranza - Smart_Rap
It is too good to be true. Do not buy. Unless you can use for the parts. Regpye, I am a cnc machinist, so I can make my own parts. I also have access to an electronics surplus store that has fans and heatsinks and stuff. I just wish I had the experience with this stuff, but I guess if you don't stumble you don't learn...by duranza - Smart_Rap
I'm using an mk7 gear and a direct drive extruder like it calls out for. I have tried running from 180 to 210 with no difference. And you are right about the jamming. I have to clean it with a drill bit and jams if I stop printing. If you can call it printing. I have not been able to print anything but blobs. So it is safe to say that I need a J-head style one then?by duranza - Smart_Rap
Hello all, I have built the version 4.7 and have everything set up, but I'm having trouble extruding. I'm using this hot end with no luck hot end i'm using. Any help is apreciated. Thanks, Jonathanby duranza - Smart_Rap
