Since you mentioned some of the filament your using is "home made" you might want to see if undersizing would fix your issue. I'm currently printing with Craftware most of the time, but any non stock slicer would let you set the filament size as you wish, so printing with a slightly smaller filament is not a problem.
]]>The filament swells in the pipe (as if the temp was too high) and then I have to dissasemble it, take the pipe apart, drill the filament out (will not slide out), clean the inside of the heater block and drill the nozzle with a .4 mm drill. Very weird. I checked if there may be scratches on the inside of the heat pipe or debris, but all looks fine. I am thinking to hook up a 12V source to the old heater block to be able to clean it better when it would be at about 230C, maybe there is cooked plastic inside that I cannot see.
But what I really want is a more modular, teflon insulated head as the MK8, eventually replacing both heads.
]]>Is this because of the shitty XYZ head that does not have a teflon sleeve ? I have a few extra radiators, but seems the heat creep is the culprit. If I print ABS only, no issue.
Should I lower the temp to 220C and try again ?
Did anyone print with HIPS with the original Davinci Duo head ?
Thanks.
