Re: Extrusion rate issue

After letting it run with the filawinder drawing in the ABS, I went to check in on it via camera, noticed the filawinder was no longer pulling ABS and returned to see that the amperage draw was 0.5 and that it was only extruding approximately an inch per minute. After replacing the filter and resuming extrusion, the extrusion rate remained unchanged. Deciding to see if the angle mattered much, I carefully propped the Filastruder up at a 10% angle, the extrusion rate remained un-changed.
That amount of insulation is fine. A few follow up questions:
1.) What material were you extruding?
2.) What temperature was it set to?
3.) How long did it extrude successfully for?
1.) MG94
2.) 193.3C
3.) 10 to 20 minutes of extrusion before it would suddenly drop.
I've made the attempt to adjust the temperature in the attempt to verify it wasn't the pellets melting fast enough. I've also made the attempt of moving the heater element towards the back of the coupler and towards the front. When removing the nozzle to verify the filter wasn't clogged and after replacing it, the extrusion remained at the slower speed, even after removing the ABS that was built up inside of the barrel.
