<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Is 25% waste of cartridge filament the norm?]]> https://www.soliforum.com/topic/13486/is-25-waste-of-cartridge-filament-the-norm/ Thu, 17 Mar 2016 22:59:08 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Re: Is 25% waste of cartridge filament the norm?]]> https://www.soliforum.com/post/119469/#p119469 Yes this is the norm. that is why I flashed mine and can use up the entire roll and use any filament I want.
I would have kept the original software if it used up 90 percent of the roll but it doesn't.

However once I modified the firmware I started doing all sorts of other mods after all why not the warranty is already voided by the firmware update

Unfortunately while dealing with customer support, I updated to the latest firmware, so I am now reading in the forums how I can flash the printer so I can get rid of the cartridge filament setup. 

Has anybody else updated the newest firmware and done so with success?   

Thank you.
