Topic: A little help - Issues
I've been struding for some time now (Filastruder 867), and I've decided to rebuild it for a few reasons:
1. Crazy slow extrusion from the day I originally built it. It takes over 2 days to fill one spool of filament. I've readjusted the auger, but I can't seem to get decent extrusion rates.
2. The bearing completely fell apart and parts of the metal had been worn away. I'm guessing something isn't setup correctly.
So, with those two items, I'm not sure if my assembly is correct or???? Pics are below that show the auger 1/4" from end of the tube. It also shows how I have the screws assembled on the flange and filastruder enclosure. Documentation is a bit thin in regards to this setup with the enclosure and the parts that I was provided.
Also, I'm not sure how far I should screw the coupling and nozzle on. I'm guessing that my crazy slow extrusion is due to an incorrect spacing somewhere in this area.
Any help would be appreciated!
