Was not happy with how slow it was so i thought lets see how the 3 nossle does. Well took the 1.7 off and found two huge metal shards took them out now bam. Runs like a dream

You need to have a clear, unobstructed path from the nozzle to the floor. Letting the filament hit the table is going to cause problems.

Also your filament guide is too far from the nozzle, which causes waviness and kinks.

The Kickstarter kits were $200, so even with an upgraded motor the total cost is less than a current kit.

It seems really slow. also noticed I had the heat band almost to the front moved it to the back end will try again when I get home to night and see if that made a difference, also adding insolation around the whole shaft

What is the distance to the floor, and what diameter filament are you extruding?
