Topic: Changed from 1.75 to 3mm, now having problems
Hi all, I am having a little bit of an issue, was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
I started out extruding 1.75mm filament for my Makerbot and had no issues. Had a very consistent diameter and ran into no issues extruding.
I recently purchased an Airwolf printer, which uses 3mm filament, so I have changed my filastruder accordingly. After changing the nozzle, I am now having trouble extruding a consistent diameter. It likes to stretch a lot under the least amount of pressure. (For example, if there is a bend in the filament, when the bend reaches the winder, it will pull the filament causing it to stretch drastically)
Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions?
By the way, this is happening with PC and PC-ABS.
Thanks in advance.
