You want the 1.75mm direct extrusion.

I melted my PEEK, but not from printing, but rather clearing clogs.  I have had zero clogs since moving to an E3D.

my problem is that my PEEK insulator keeps melting.   Is this a part that is just supposed to melt after a while? or is solidoodle selling me crap parts?  I have tried lowering the extrusion temp, but if i get much lower than 200 then the filament wont melt.

I am extremely exasperated and ready to kill my printer with fire!!! lol  any help is extremely appreciated.


PS - if there is an after market hot end that doesn't have this problem i would love to hear about it.
