I finally got my printer working nicely.. I’ve been using a heavily modified qu-bd extruder.I hobbed my own gear wheel and did the modification where a bearing presses against the filament which presses against the gearwheel. The problem that I’d been experiencing is that the PLA kept jamming.
It was really maddening. I basically would have to watch the printer through a run waiting for it to jam.. I actually bought a J-head and was going to replace it with a ez-struder. I did a little googling and I ran across this little fix. http://www.buildlog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1977&start=20
Wow I went from having 4 jams in a short print to having no jams in 20 Plus hours… It’s totally amazing. Any here’s some pictures of what I’ve been up to.
