[SGVHAK] 3D printing

[John Burke]

That's great. Hopefully its not to big of a deal to make the firmware mods needed to support it. Its 24v too and my printer is based on 12v I think. Its just starting to jam all the time and I am spending more time tearing down the extruder to clear jams than actually printing. I think my ptfe tube is worn out so I am going to replace that first to see if it fixes it. If not, I will try the E3D upgrade.

To print large mounting brackets and such you may also want to try a larger size, but it’s a bother to change so mostly I use the 0.4mm it comes with.

I am considering the E3D All-metal V6 Full Kit 1.75mm Universal (Direct)(24v) from Matterhackers. Has anyone in the group attempted this sort of thing before?
