Topic: ABS Filament Extrusion Problem - Noztek Pro
Hi guys I'm Iain. Wondering if anyone has any experience/knowledge of working with a Noztek pro. I'm currently working with it to try and extrude ABS filament. So far I have tried at extrusion temps of the range 180 C - 260 C. I know that 260 C is quite high for ABS but I kept attempting higher temps as after a while extruding the machine would stop, as if there was a barrel block. Previous to me using the machine, I'm a masters student, a PhD student used the machine to extrude PLA and a luminescent powder. I have used a compound called Asaclean to clean the machine and taken the machine itself apart to clean the internals (barrel, screw, nozzle etc with acetone) and when i attempted ABS it got stuck again. I'm getting to my wits end and would really appreciate if anyone with any experience with filament extrusion could point me in the right direction. Thanks for reading.
