Extruder/nozzle issue and auto leveling question
January 15, 2017 01:03PM
So I must have messed up the nozzle because I can't get filament to extrude past the base and I can only accomplish that much because I am forcing the filament through. I did break one of the thermistor wires but the kind people at Reprap were nice enough to send me a replacement. I did take apart the heating block because it had some kind of impurity in the nozzle which was making the filament come out rolled. I'm not sure if I put it together wrong or what but I'm thinking about scrapping the nozzle and upgrading. Is there an upgrade? I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out. I saw something about a "j-hook" but is that even compatible with a Prusa i3? Also, does anyone sell like a extruder/ auto-bed leveler combo? I swear my bed has a .200 thousandths difference from the home to the front right corner. I plan on running an indicator across it to see how bad it actually is. I had to buy a longer screw just to be able to home it. Anyways, thanks for reading my rant.
