see my last post above^^^^^^ thats what I thought, post new topic looking for replacement and you will get one next to nothing from a member I am sure. this bunch is awesome!:D post in Solidoodle section
I have my old hotend lying around.
At this point I would recommend looking into an E3D v6 or Lite6. Both are superb, but they would require you to flash firmware. Many of us have done it and can walk you through the process.
PM me if you want my old assembly. I can throw in a better extruder for you as well.

tnx azerate, i may find some local parts. im good will get back when im good to calibrate again or flash firmware.

where do you find a extruder tube at a "local" source? lol Walmart nor Home depot have em

Actually Microcenters are starting to sell some parts.

for old SD/repraps? thats not the kind they sell at makerbot prices

They sell mostly Sainsmart stuff... Ramps 1.4 shields, opto and mechanical endstops, heater cartridges, as well as stepper drivers. The guy in charge of that section said they would be adding more parts later. Then of course they have my wonderful PET+ that prints like a dream and is stronger than ABS..

LOL, that is great if you happen to have one of their stores close to you. Nearest to me is about a 4 hour drive (one way) 
post a topic for a good used SD threaded tube as many members have old extruder parts laying around. dont bother with Solidoodles over priced if available parts and year long respounces and wrong parts sent.
Burton2663, do this in the Buy/Sell/Trade section, and I'm sure someone can help you fairly quickly.
yes im getting an E3D with water cooling.... tnx guys just waiting for the delivery from a local seller
Hello,
I'm back after a long wait for a replacement extruder. Hope can print better now, will post some prints soon.
Thanks
printed a fan holder, pretty good print just the holes are almost gone.
using curaengine repetier, pla 180deg, .3 layer height
can i still fine tune this? tnx
If your question is, can you expect better result? Absolutely, I would suggest some calibration is in your future.
will calibrate tnx wardjr
extrusion is better now but im getting fluctuations in bed & extruder temp, done PID.
A screenshot of the output enabled will help. If that was done with no movement, it suggests you may have Bang Bang enabled in the firmware. You should expect a nice flat line.
its printing, whats a Bang Bang?
Bang bang is exactly what it sounds like. It is on off instead of PWM control.
Can you post that while the printer is not in motion? The bed output looks more like bang bang than the curves seen in your extruder. Bang bang is adequate for a bed but not precise enough for the extruder.
its same, not printing here
PID
P: 30
I: 2.62
D: 75
Just an FYI - you said you're getting an E3D, that is definitely not an E3D hotend.
Yes I was also expecting E3D, but the guy who sold me this unit came and installed this hotend. That is why I came here to seek help, that guy just builds and sells stuff and Im trying to learn on my own without his support. Hoping that this printer wont be a waste of money and my time. I was already getting low hopes but I'll make this printer work.
Was already planning to resell it but how when it doesnt work at all, its been about 6 months since I bought it. Right now its given me good prints and the only thing I need to resolve it the fluctuating temperature. Not sure if its harware or firmware issues, re-installed repetier twice, repaired the clogging, the fan holder replaced.

here is a current print, I'm working on the casing footers
Get us a screenshot of the hotend section in configuration.h. Something isn't right with that heat chart and until you get the temp line smooth and stable, you won't get the quality.
i have been checking the installation, i think im not on marlin? and my arduino board is sanguinololu, arduino has uno selected. pls confirm.
im still learning, i think i have to correct this install...
