Extrusion Problems, stripping and/or not grabbing filament
July 17, 2015 05:10PM
I'm having a lot of problems with my extruder extruding. I'm using a Greg wade extruder with a hobbed bolt. I'm having two problems back and forth for seemingly no reason. It basically boils down to not grabbing the filament and/or then stripping it. I'ts having a lot of problems actually pulling the filament in. I've rigged a hanger to hold the spool of filament basically right over the print bed but the filament is still having trouble being pulled into the extruder. It seems to keep getting stuck on feeder on the idler, but I don't see how as there's basically no friciton to hold it there. I've been playing with the firmware default speed and acceleration and don't really seem to help. I'm completely at a loss.
