Update! 9-20-13]]> Yes mine is just above not extruding. I have a m5 rod and m8 for replacement caridge. Should be here early next week. The new stepper is awesome. I hope the m5 cleans up the rest.

I had to turn mine way down; to just above where extrusion stopped.

Update! 9-20-13]]> I have some parts I will get pics of. I messed with the stepper Pot. I need to upgrade. I couldn't get it to go away. I'll get some pics up.

I ran a print and tried to adjust on the fly. I turned it down untill it started skipping and went up ever so slightly. It looks a little better but not gone. I am almost back to where I started.

Are the stepper drivers drop in besides changing the firmware? What do you recommend?

What about the slight banding. I am going to pick up an M5 rod which hopefully will help.

http://www.soliforum.com/topic/3491/ext … g-to-fail/

I did only start to notice it when I went to the E3D

Update! 9-20-13]]> I haven't got around to this yet. What exactly does this trim pot do? Does it adjust speed or power? Is this on the motor itself or on the board?

Update! 9-20-13]]> the filament might be a have a little more resistance with the E3D since it is stainless and not PEEK lined with teflon. that is my guess. I had the same thing with my E3D.

Update! 9-20-13]]> that doesn't look like z-wobble. That looks like moire from the extruder. Try backing the trimpot on your extruder stepper driver counter clockwise a 1/16-1/32 of a turn.

Other methods for setting extruder trim pot -

[*]set to 0 - full counter clockwise (careful not to go past stop)[/*]
[*]in RH set manual extrude speed to 5mm/s[/*]
[*]extrude 100mm [/*]
[*]slowly adjust the trimpot clockwise (1/16 of a turn at a time) until you hear the extruder start extruding smoothly[/*]

How do I get rid of this using the firmware. My prints were fine before.
