Topic: Crap around the nozzle?

Never had this happen before. I am thinking my hopper shaker is causing the problem. Any ideas? I can post a picture or video if you guys want.

It was the hopper shaker. Everything seems to be in line now.

Re: Crap around the nozzle?

The shaker created too much shaking, making the whole Filasturder (especially the nozzle) to shake. The filament in response would move around the opening of the nozzle, and this caused small pieces of molten abs to be deposited around the opening of the Filastruder.

I also found out you do not need a hopper shaker. I  have been running GP35 for the past 5 hours with out the shaker, and I am getting 16 in per minute.
