Re: New Filament Extruder Help - 9 years ago

QuoteFrans@FranceHowever and if wrong I'm sure others will correct me, the auger is not about speed but about filament diameter consistency. It's rather easy to get the lyman (or any other filament extruder) to do 1kg/hour or faster just throw in a more powerful motor. That isn't true at all. Filastruder uses an off the shelf auger bit and users report +/-0.01mm.

You could make your own 5mm with a Filastruder.

Re: e3d v6 problem - 9 years ago

Quotejavitopia Although the pt100 is more precise and have a wider temperature margin in the e3d page it clearly states that they are only compatible with makerbot electronics and that they would require additional electronics to plug it in a ramps. E3D's page states Ultimaker, not Makerbot. Makerbot uses a K-type thermocouple.

Re: e3d v6 problem - 9 years ago

Quotetrist077 bought from esd online and it said it would fit the v6 kit when bought with the new heatsink block Right, but it doesn't output a thermistor style signal...

Re: New E3D refuses to extrude - 9 years ago

Quotethetazzbot Don't trust assembled hot ends. You should re-assemble them following the official instructions. Clues: Like Riann said, but you need to heat the hot end up to properly assemble it because metal expands and will loosen. So heat it up, tighten the brass nozzle all the way in (official instructions say back it off 1 turn, but meh...) make sure the heat sink and the heat block

Re: e3d v6 problem - 9 years ago

Quotetrist077 ordered the new pt100 from esd online a lot more accurate than a thermistor so hopefully this will sort it though but now the thermister is unpluged from the board the displa is still showing 200 i unplugged the heatbed too that says 0 degrees You know that a PT100 can't be connected to a thermistor connection, right? Two different kinds of signals.

One has a small screw and PTFE washer to hold the thermistor in, the other doesn't. On the second one, the heater cartridge and thermistor wire

Re: Maxtemp error - 9 years ago

You have likely damaged the thermistor if you took it over 295C...

Re: Thermistor problems with e3dv6 - 9 years ago

As cdru said, IR is garbage for small metallic objects. I'm sure the thermistor is fine. Your delam is likely due to something like under extrusion, or poor quality filament. 290C is insanity for ABS. You're probably starting to offgas small amounts of HCN at that temperature. Where'd you buy the e3dv6 from? How long has it been since you emailed support? They have not been unresponsive in my

Re: PCL Filament - 9 years ago

I have had a few customers report successful PCL extrusion. They mentioned extruding at 85C. What temperature were you extruding at?

Re: Bubbles and inconstant filament diameter - 9 years ago

Hard to say, I've only ever used a Filastruder. Did you try contacting the company?

Re: Bubbles and inconstant filament diameter - 9 years ago

That nozzle doesn't look like a Filastruder nozzle. Is this actually a Filastruder? Bubbles means you are extruding too hot (likely) or haven't pre dried your filament (also very likely).

Re: Filament width sensor - 9 years ago

I cited the threads to show you that it is possible to just turn on the extruder and have good diameter. With a properly designed filament extruder, you do not need a width sensor or other feedback.

Re: Bulldog XL + E3D v6 - 9 years ago

You absolutely need the PTFE, and it is still an all metal hotend. The PTFE does not extend into the heated zone. If the bulldog itself will hold down the PTFE, then there is no need for the black clip.

Re: Filament width sensor - 9 years ago

Good tolerances are no problem, at least with a Filastruder. - (http://www.soliforum.com/topic/7430/abs-mg94-and-gp35-review-and-comparison/) in some cases users (http://www.soliforum.com/search/607487942/) - (http://www.soliforum.com/topic/4108/my-filastruder-and-results-so-far-abs-and-pla/) - (http://www.soliforum.com/topic/8237/nylon-taulamn-618-regrind/) - (http://www.solifo

Re: Is Filastruder a better option than building your own extruder? - 10 years ago

Like CraigRK said, the risk of electrocution comes from the fact that the Instructables design uses a high voltage band heater. The Filastruder design uses a custom low voltage (12v) heater. Also like Craig said, the risk of thermal decomposition comes from the fact that the Instructables design uses a 200 watt heater. This will easily get over 500C in my experience if there is a short circuit o

Re: Filtration System - 10 years ago

Quote3ntrlab Quotegreenman100 Typical 1.75mm extruders push with 10-20N of force. That is distributed over 2.4sqmm, or 0.024sqcm. 15/.024 = 62.5 bar. Of course 15N is just a general average based on Airtripper's measurements, so 150 bar is not out of the question. Pressure is applied all around in the melting chamber, not only as a frontal section....average 3mm nozzles are about 120-150 sq.m
