Topic: Noztek Pro Filament Extruder

Hi guys. I'm pretty new to making filament and have been playing with the Noztek pro. My question for anyone that could possibly help me is why is ABS not extruding properly? I set the temperature, wait 15 minutes, switch on the motor, some filament comes out (about 10 cm, roughly), and then the motor stops. Now I know the motor isn't the issue as I have extruded abs at much higher temperatures and the machine works fine but the filament is very thin. I am wanting to extrude at 190 C as this gives me so far the best diameter. I know the temp is high enough as when the temp has been reached for 15+ mins then some material pokes out of the nozzle. I have removed the nozzle already and removed previous batches so I know the barrel is clean. Any help you guys could give would be great. Thanks

sorry i am not sure, if it's stuck and not moving up or down at the right temp I've had this before also. Best method with abs sometimes can also be to just soak the nozzle in Acetone over night and then just push it through once done. Or heat up the ptfe tube with heat gun.
It's hard to remove the wiring on FlashForge though so be careful with the acetone method
i even go to some store to visit it page.

They are talking about filament extrusion, not a 3D printer. They never even mentioned FlashForge. Your post looks like you just made it so you could link your website.
