Turns out the heating up and shutting off was caused by my computer going to sleep.

I am still have a lot of problems though.
My nozzle only leaves crumbs behind now. This is my second nozzle. Also I tried using the settings from another guy I know who has one and has no problems and still nothing works right.

Tell us more about the issue. What do you mean by crumbs?

If they are erratic, perhaps this accounts for some of your problems. Maybe you could post a screenshot?

When I print I get a few minutes into it and then the plastic just stops coming out of the extruder. The extruder motor will then dig a hole in the filament.

I got a little better results when I set my speeds to 30 instead of 60. I also set the extrusion multiplier to 0.7. I saw a video where a guy was calibrating his extruder and ran 100 mm through at full speed. I cannot run more that 2mm at a time or the gear digs a hole in the filament.

When I set the temperature to 200 it seems like the extrusion works a little better but eventually the control of the temperature freaks out and it spikes up to 215 and then turns off.

I have not been able to printout more than 4-5 prints since I got the thing because of this problem. Has anybody seen this?

I was thinking maybe the temperature read back from the extruder wasn't right or something.

Thanks for any help.
