			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Macgyver hello, first of all I&#039;m a big fan of the changes you made on solidoodle Press it&#039;s really amazing. I am French industrial design student, I bought the Press the last year and have been for some months of the problem with the nozzle and the wheel that the filament guide.</p><p>I have seen the changes with the head E3D V6, and I would do the same as you, I received the head last week and I print the parts I am ready for transforamtion, but I wanted to know if I have to absolutely modify the firmware of the press. I already changed the Duty of the original head of the press, it is exactly the same as E3D V6.</p><p>I know a language the Arduino but because of my English I struggle to understand the procedures and steps.<br />I will be you very grateful if you could help me</p><p>with easy to follow step</p><p>thank you very much</p>]]></content>
