Thank you for your help I spent the whole week end and you were totally right !!! The E VREF was the main issue. I still have some more adjustment to do. I really appreciate your help. I will post some screenshot tomorrow.

I am using Repetier and Slic3r but I am moving to simplify3D. The main reason of this change is that I have tried Colorfabb Wood filament with original Solidoodle Extruder and I broke it (Hot clog).

My goal is to print without risk Colorfabb Wood, Color Fabb Copper and Flexible Filament.

*Calibrate your extruder. Even if you already have, check it once more. Overextrusion can cause blobs which, once cooled, can snag the nozzle.
*Adjust the E VREF on your board. This will also help fight moire
*Try giving a little more distance between the bed and the nozzle. I can't tell if it is too close or if is masked from the other symptoms.

Feel free to post screenshots of your settings. If it is a software setting, one of us should spot it quickly.

I have updated my solidoodle 2 pro with E3D v6 HotEnd. After doing all the mounting I start to do some priting and I am unable to do a correct print.

As you can see on the image below, the cube on the right was done with original SD extruder. On the left part, the results I now obtain with E3D Hot end.

I have no idea what is wrong with m printer I have tried several things such as modifying extrusion width, extrusion multiplier but I still have this issue.

I have two ideas:

too much filaments are going out from the extruder and it starts to make big spots
the z axis is not correct

As anyone faced this kind of issue ?
