I got it fixed. turns out i set the extruder speed to 5mm per minute.  I changed it back to 300mm/minute and all is right with the world again.... i feel stupid, but hopefully someone else new the process will benefit from my mistake.

I will try to get a video of it.
i backed off the tension-er and check, it looks clean.


my little robot buddy is down...... argh !

if anyone has run into this, please let me know whats going on.

here is a video of it. sorry its jump when i hit reverse or extrude. i stabilize on the roller. you can hear it running, its just barely moving when it does.


cant post a link...... argh !
