Current Status
ToM
- Currently, it looks like there's some communication error between the extruder board, the motherboard, the Arduino, the computer, or some combination thereof. This prevents consistent connection to the printer, and creates a kind of "stutter" during prints.
Cupcake
- The extruder needs to be completely disassembled to fix whatever is jamming it. It seems like filament is being pushed into a gap somewhere between the hobbed bolt and the heating block.
- The extruder board is unresponsive to firmware updates. I'll try an older version of Replicator G sometime soon.
