Colorfabb filament works great, i printed to 0.05 mm layer hight with it.
Please correct me if i am wrong. Up on the extruder carriage is PIC processor connected to a daisy wheel. this chip monitors the rotation of the filament drive. The same way a automotive traction control system works. not as sophisticated but simpler concept.
I suspect the processor send a busy signal to the processor down blow.
The question is how intelligent is the system . can it be fooled with some simple rewiring or does it transmit a code. dose it just detect stop and go or is it sequentially linked to the known mm/s of what its expecting to see.
I could generate a false signal so it see what it want while running a after market extruder system. This is what i have planed for the CubeX. its hot end is crap. great printer in other areas.
what about something like this?
I've made some progress.
I'm 8 hours into my build. I see a few layers that look weak with filament flow issues, but it wasn't enough to abort the print.
I'm not sure what would be best to tweak to get the flow working better.
Diameter of the filament? (Currently 1.7)
Gain on the Material? (Printer/Extruders/Gain) (Currently 0.0225)
Speed settings?
It is close, but needs to be better to remove the weak layers & clicking issues.
Thanks everyone for all the help!
I've lot of success with a standard PLA from http://www.imprimante3dfrance.com/, the filament diameter is 1.7 mm. Their ABS is a little more thick, near 1.74 mm but works great.
