No, that’s not normal. It should come out like ---------------------- so I think the problem is the stepstruder. Have a close look at it and check that the alignment of the grove matches exactly the hole that the filament is feed through.
If that’s ok, then you might check the board and calibration of that stepper. It might not get enough current…
When you feed plastic from the control panel it should flow evenly. Change the setting of extrusion duration to maybe 10-30 seconds and watch it carefully. If it slips, then that’s your problem and not any software settings. Maybe make mark on the filament with a pen to have a reference to how fast it moves and how smooth.
When you say red tube, you
When you say red tube, you mean the tube inside the extruder down to the hot end? Then, yes that’s the right one for 3mm filament.
Did you get it all the way to the bottom? I had to sand mine a bit on the outside to get it all the way.
Hi Geir,I think you were
Hi Geir,
I think you were right about the power voltage on stepper motor. I have bought MK7 and haveing the same issue. The filament comes out from extruder either stucked or came out very weak.
Do you know anyway to improve the power supply for filament extruder?
HiDid you do the ”
Hi
Did you do the ” Adjusting Stepper Driver Potentiometers” in http://wiki.makerbot.com/thingomatic-doc:electronics-installation and did you get the reference voltage correct?
