    running a test print of a tower from thingiverse.. doesn't look like it's going too bad.. it's just a tower.. I figure it will help run more oil through it so I can try another print [​IMG][​IMG]

    Jams happen from time to time. Is the small fan on the coldend running ? Could be to hot or even to cold which could also be causing your issues.

    Lol that would be crazy long drive. The offer is still there if you want to ship it. Keep us posted how the new filament does or if you keep trying with the roll you have try some larger flat models :) that deprine you made looked really good

    Looks like simple things are printing fine. You just needed to dial in for the more complex. Your still learning and need to give it time and patience. You'll get this. I'd much rather are you get this working than thow away. Sweden others do that and breaks my heart.

    In s3d under the other tab you can turn down the speed for just the supports but if you have it working that may be best :)

    I just had surgery so I'm slowly getting back to beer.. unfortunately my stomach is half the original size right now so I can't eat or drink anywhere like I used to.. acid reflux caused too many problems for me that medication wasn't helping

    now i cant even feed filament.. what the hell is going on.. alright.. I knew it couldn't be so wrong w the settings.. started digging and found the filament feed screw is damaged and causing the feed to skip.. also I can't get the nozzle out of the hot end.. called up robo and they are sending me out the new parts free of charge. so great customer support by them, and hopefully this cures the issues.. uploadfromtaptalk1470773421109.jpg
