Partial Answer Heat creep in new E3DV6

Well my frustration with the E3D install continues. Hopefully I can soon see the possible upsides of this hotend over the regular hex.

I unhooked my little deluxe display and went back to Mattercontrol tethered to the machine. I was able to correct the extruder flow rate. I will someday get back to updating the firmware and flashing for the little controller to work again.

I did a calibration cube after the flow rate and it was a great print. Tight top and great layers. I thought I was on to something. So I began a calibration circle and no filament was coming out. The hotend had jammed. It was a jam like I got before when the fan went out on the hexagon I was running. Though this time the fan never left the side of the hotend and was running at high RPM. This type of jam shouldn’t be happening with a running fan on its side. To make matters worse the filament broke in the Bowden tube.

So I to get out that tube and with one week end I shouldn’t realistically have to be replacing it. Then the heat creep has to be addressed. I do not know what can be done with a fan running on the side of the hotend not achieving the proper goal

Oiler was used. PLA at 210, bed at 50

 

You know with my limited knowledge of firmware I think I did make that change. It would require me looking at it tonight to see I that change "took"

It said it updated, but miles away in my cube I don't know
