Re: E3D issue

A picture would help or a description.  Is it too tight or too loose?

Re: E3D issue

Are you sure you have the right MK5? There is a different version required for the E3Dv6.

Filastruder - the robust, inexpensive filament extruder
E3Dv6 All Metal Hotend - the premier 3D printing hotend

Re: E3D issue

I saw that,

it looks like the parts curl a lot.

and what is the grocery list for this build?

Re: E3D issue

That was my fault by not having slurry...has zero effect on how it functions. Main points that need to be straight and level are. Two lmu88 bearings 28" of 8mm smooth rod and varying length m3 screws. Curling is in prep not design, others printed models 100% fine.

I originally had the first one without the supporting cross bar in front. I was able to secure mine by pressing it in to the tight fitting mount but was having issues printing with weird layer shifting. After several failed prints, I determined that the hot end was moving around slightly in the mount. I had the second one printed and it stabilized the hot end so now everything is great! Use the second one.

Re: E3D issue

Thanks Gordym. I don't own a v6. So while I know it fits, I was unaware of that.
