Thank you for your reply! after dismantling my hot end, clearing a major blockage, and then reassembling my hot end and properly aligning all of the holes right the way through, I'm printing again!!! It seems that the components of the hot end werent properly aligned, so the 3mm filament holes in each part were ever so slightly off, causing th filament to jam and do all sorts of wierd and wondby kartyboy94 - New Zealand RepRap User Group

Hi Everyone, Have recently completed my build of a Prusa I2 kit. It was supplied with a small leength of test filament, which I successfully printed with. After using all of this up, I switched to Hobbyist 3mm PLA, and am having non-sticking problems, jamming problems, my extruder is struggling to feed the filament correctly, and I'm at a loss of where to start and what to try. Any advice toby kartyboy94 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Thanks for your reply! have just today purchased the I2 kit on Trademe. Figured it will be a place to start giving me all the parts I need. can always upgrade later! Are there any "reprap meet ups" as such in chch?by kartyboy94 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Hi Everyone, I posted up here about a year ago, looking to get a 3d printer, and it's finally come time and fundable to actually go ahead with a build! I will be using it for prototyping, general building, and designing prototype RC car and robotics parts. Currently, I am tossing up between a Da Vinci Ready to go printer, can get one for around the $800 mark, or buying the Prusa I2 kit listedby kartyboy94 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Hi Simon, thanks for your reply. I had seen the kits you had mentioned, and was unsure of the quality but seen as you have mentioned them I will look into it. What sort of true accuracy are they, are the quoted accuracy figures reasonably close to the actual performance? Cheers, Lukeby kartyboy94 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
Hi All, My name is Luke, I am from christchurch, currently studying a bachelor of engineering, and looking at getting a 3D printer!! First of all, i dont have thousands to spend, (preferably under $1000 would be great! what are the do's and don'ts, reccommendations, and options have been looking online and am going round in circles! i have a good basic electronics and soldering knowledge, aby kartyboy94 - New Zealand RepRap User Group
