I tried quite a few different temperatures and feed rates to no avail. It would act as if I couldn't melt it fast enough before the pressure required to push it down just sent it in another direction above the hot end. I will have some downtime from work soon so I'm am going to overhaul the printer.
The filament by itself is very very flexible, i can tie it in knots no problem.
Same issue here, it just curls around the gear.
Any ideas to fix it? I would rather make this work with the stock extruder.
I was thinking of something I could jam in there to stop it from wanting to go underneath the wheel, but can't think of anything. I tried printing something but couldn't print it thin enough to stick in there.
My SD3: Clear plexiglass case, case heater, X axis stabilizer, Z axis stabilizer, thumb screws, filament guide, heatsinks on all motors, extruder fan, controller fan, heatsinks on motherboard, Y rod pillow block, USB and Power on/off switch, fully calibrated including trimpot tuning. Am I missing anything?
