			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>There is so much wrong here, I don&#039;t know where to begin. Did you look at the instructions at all?</p><p>1.) That thing under the motor - that&#039;s supposed to be the main support, attached to the flanges. It appears to be broken, which is very strange. Instead you are using a huge chunk of wood? The replacement piece needs to be the same dimensions as the original.<br />2.) You don&#039;t seem to be using the shaft collar, which tells me the whole thrust bearing section is not assembled correctly.<br />3.) The filament guide is not being used. Use it.<br />4.) The fan is in the wrong place.<br />5.) You have the temperature control set to 241C?! Way too high for ABS.</p><p>Get those fixed and we&#039;ll go from there. And please, please follow the instructions!</p>]]></content>
