I like the e3d a lot and think the conversion was well worth it.

its not to hard to do as long as you print the parts first

That is why I decided to print a new carriage and extruder (I have swapped to a e3d).

Thank you for your response. I believe you are correct, it does sound like the filament is sticking or grinding a bit on slower speeds. It is probably time for an extruder cleaning anyway.
How difficult was it to upgrade to the E3d extruder? Are the results worth it? I've had my 1.0 for just over a year now, outside of the cartridge resetter, everything is stock.

Hey all,

The extruder or feeder on my 1.0 has been making some weird noises lately. It seems to be the loudest on slow or fine resolution prints. Printing normal speed at .3-.4mm it doesnt seem to make the noise. With or without the noise, I do not see any indication its affecting the print, its just a worrying noise.
You can hear it in this video (my camera amplified the sound a bit).

Thanks!
