Hi Ohms, you should really stick to a 2.85-2.88 filament with +/-.05 tolerance. i have seen 3mm filament that measure up to 3.05 and even up to 3.1. too much for the original bowden tube. if you have larger tube, you may want to lower the flow down to 98-96%. see if that helps

Hi Ohms, you may want to take a look at the hobbed bolt that feeds the filament. Sometimes, it starts to fill the grooves with residue, and makes it less prone to feeding, thus sliding at points and possibly “bitting”. you can first try with compressed air, shooting into the feeder hole, or take it …

Also, i disassembled the extruder motor part, and when i removed the large gear to get the feeder bolt out, i saw that the notches where filled up with plastic debris. Once cleaned, i was up and running. Just a little maintenance and ready to go. do not over-tighten the 2 nuts on the outer part when…

Hi. i had some mousebites as well, until i started making sure the temp was right. If the filament is 3mm as opposed to the recommended 2.85, it can also cause some problems. i have had some 3mm filaments that when measured with the caliper, gave me 3.05, even 3.1! if you stick to premium filaments…
