QuoteMuckYu I have another small problem. I was trying to print a small button. After about 10 minutes the part is sticking to the extruder and the extruder is moving it around. Any reason for this to happen? I am printing with brim by the way Im having an issue like this ever since I changed filament, may be over extruding...by UltiFix - Prusa i3 and variants

Quoteflatlander QuoteUltiFix I took the extra bearing's and upgraded the spool holder, it's so smooth the spool is unrolling itself! Maybe that because I had to unwind some of it to get it off...

If you mean repetier host it's not a slicer and still need one, so you'll still need something like cura or slic3r to cut up your stl and create g-code.

So im thinking about an enclosure for the folger tech, here a few of the good things about it, please correct me if im wrong. Helps with tempature If sealed it would prevent fires from going, the fire burns up the oxygen and boom no more fire Keep it dust free in a dusty garage No smells if airtight Can the printer run with no new air?
