Topic: Filament Tolerance?

If you guys don't mind, could you report on the following?


ABS or PLA, and source of material
1.75mm or 3.0mm
typical minimum and maximum filament diameter
approximate quantity of material extruded to date, by weight

Filastruder - the robust, inexpensive filament extruder
E3Dv6 All Metal Hotend - the premier 3D printing hotend

ABS - 1.75mm

1.69 - 1.8

Burn in purge of 1lb from OSPrinting. 

Really need to find time to install the melt filter as I was seeing particles in the last 20 m or so.
