Good afternoon... So.. I have been trying to print bronze for a while.. now im testing some copper...
THe printed feeder works great (cant find link right now but its from this forum). Problem is , i cant print pla or abs right with it...
But everytime i print with stock feeder (even with PTFE tube in it) it fails... it literally just stops extruding, and if i give it a pull, and feed it back it will work... just strange.

So are their any feeders, whether made or bought that will work with all types of filament?
thanks

Check Thingiverse.com for geared extruder. They use the geared stepper.
They are much more adjustable.
