    Hey Aaron, sorry about the issues you are having. I would love to get you some help! First, if it is possible to describe, how tight are you tightening the little "lever" that locks the filament against the hobbed bolt? Try a little tighter and let me know if that helps.

    Aaron,

    How hot are you running the hotend? Also, is it the filament you got from us? or another brand?
