Topic: Anyone ever hear of this happening?
I'm using the horizontal filabottle feeder and yesterday I came out an found that my filastruder wasn't pushing any output. I removed the feeder and stirred the pellets in the hopper and then filament started coming out again.
Anyone ever have this happen? Seems like the feed was interrupted by "pellet lock" (for lack of a better term and then created an air pocket and didn't drop pellets anymore. Once I resumed the flow it came back to normal.
I'm not sure how long this was going on while extruding, but I'm monitoring the output by dotting it with a sharpie every hour or so to make sure the flow in normal. I may just file down the opening to make a larger aperture for pellet feeding and that should be enough.
Also... anyone know why filament would start to go all "figure 8" on coiling? I was fine the last time I fired her up, but now for two sessions straight I get weird coils. Not that the filament is bad, just not a nice coil is all.
