			<description><![CDATA[<p>I&nbsp; have ordered two other pid controllers that i hope are better holding temps after pidtuning. REX -C100 seems to be bad.<br />Hope it is that.</p><p>Nobody have any input?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I built a filament extruder couple of years ago, i snipped ideas and stuff from the net and<br />obviously some from filastruder, but i have never got any good diameters. <strong>And YES i predry all materia</strong>l.</p><p>It extrudes both <strong>pla</strong> and <strong>abs</strong><strong> 3mm (2.8)</strong> ok, good quality and so. Printable but:</p><p>I get diameter variances that goes in waves. and i *think* waves superimposed on the big waves.</p><p>The upper wave show what it looks if i measures over aproximately 50cm to 100cm depending on speed.<br />But if i measure over a longer period ( couple of meters) i start to see a wave superimposed over the 50-100cm.</p><p>the 50-100cm variation is about 0.05mm and the second is about 0.1mm, but at certain moments<br />the waves adds onto each other so the variation sometimes is 0.15-0.2mm.</p><p>So for like 5m i get ok diameter, then the next 5m is way to big variation, the next 5m is then again ok.</p><p>At first i thought it was because i had a winder that start, stop at intervals. So i made a winder that runs continusly<br />at fixed speed, and it was then i got a visual of it.&nbsp; The shadow on the sensor slowly went up, then down and after a couple of oscillations it got bigger and bigger then suddenly smaller and smaller until it was back at the small up/downs.</p><p>So. Is my problem with the auger? The nozzle? Too small meltzone? Too small/big gap between augerend and nozzle?<br />It must have something with pressure buildups to do i think.<br />The nozzle has meltfilter, then a breaker (just a plug with about 10holes, the plug is coned inwards closest to nozzle, the nozzle is flat. maybe i should have a nozzle that is coned on the inside?</p><p>The motor is a BIG 230v motor (2hp?) with 34rpm gearbox into a 16mm auger. Motor is run from a Variable Frequency Drive.<br />The VFD makes sure the motor runs the same speed even at load.<br />I have two melt-zones aprox 10cm apart. 2 PID controllers both pidtuned. First melt-zone a little cooler then the second.<br />Vertical mounted with loop to the floor then up to winder.</p><p>I have tried speeds (augerspeed) from 6rpm (1kg in 8hours) up to 25rpm (1 kg in 3 hours), and i have tried different temperatures.</p><p>I really hope you all understand what i mean (english is NOT my first language).</p>]]></description>
