Problem fixed! Now I just have to break it in with the sacrificial ABS pellets.

Thanks Tim!

I was getting about 6"/min extruded and then the motor stopped. It was getting late so I turned it off. I'm using the sacrificial ABS that came with it and yesterday I had it 180*.

So I let it warm up today to 200* and then removed the nozzle to make sure there weren't any metal shavings plugging it. Then I used a 1/16" drill bit to clear out the nozzle too. I reassembled everything and let it come up to 200* again. Waited 15 min and then started the motor. It ran pretty good for about 1 hr again. But the motor started slowing down and now the motor has stopped again. So I bumped up the temp to 208* - motor still won't turn.

Any ideas?
