So remember how I said last week I thought I had fixed my jamming issue? Well I was wrong. I'm not sure if it's the material, which it shouldn't be as it's the same brand I always use or if the nozzle is buggered, which seems more likely as it's the same nozzle that came with the machine last September. In any case, the only way to sort this out was to change the variables one at a time until it fixed itself and to do that I did following over the past couple of days; Change the material and try and print with the same nozzle and settings. This didn't work, not much more to say about it.  I did a cold pull This involves extruding filament through the nozzle until it is full, then letting it cool to just above the glass temp of the plastic, in this case around 100, and then manually pulling the filament out.  If done correctly it should come out with a little pop in the exact shape of the inside of the nozzle, pulling any debris with it. I th...

Hey guys, for this months POTM I thought I'd print myself a little something to tide me over while I wait for my Tesla Model 3... It's a little supercharger for my work phone! I have to say, I've been having a few problems recently with the extruder jamming on me and I'm not sure why yet.  This meant I had to try three times before I managed to get a finished print of the white sides of the charger... One of the failed prints I'm not sure if the new filament I got has gummed up the nozzle, or if it's just time for me to get a new one (it's the same nozzle that came with my printer last year and has had around 8kg of plastic through it!). I'll keep trying to print stuff but in the meantime I will order a set of new nozzles from Cetus and see if I can get things working again. Another issue I had with the print was that I ran out of silver on the base, totally my fault, so I had to swap material half way through... The print ...
