I think I'll refine it in the next revision, but I've held it constant for now until I have time to test 'n tune.

Yup, normal. That's a little more than I see but not too extreme.

Ok cool!  Yeah no biggie it might have been longer than 20 hours as well. 

Quick reply!

Thanks,

Ben

v1.1 - Serial 380

I've assembled and I've extruded 2lbs of ABS

After running the last 3 days for a total of about 20 hours there's a small pile of pellets (IMG_8077.jpg) below where the auger enters the wooden block.  Is this normal?

The nipple was 100% clean, all lips removed.  But I guess the odd pellet makes it in reverse?

I've also created a new object on Thingiverse for my re-designed Electronics Enclosure and Hopper.

Thanks in advance,
