Topic: E3D hot end, all printing fails

Hi everyone,

I have updated my solidoodle 2 pro with E3D v6 HotEnd. After doing all the mounting I start to do some priting and I am unable to do a correct print.

As you can see on the image below, the cube on the right was done with original SD extruder. On the left part, the results I now obtain with E3D Hot end.

I have no idea what is wrong with m printer I have tried several things such as modifying extrusion width, extrusion multiplier but I still have this issue.

I have two ideas:

too much filaments are going out from the extruder and it starts to make big spots
the z axis is not correct

As anyone faced this kind of issue ?

Did you follow the entire guide when you installed the hotend?
