Re: Constant jamming with an e3d V6

Usually a first layer gets printed more slowly. Try to decrease the overall printing speed. I also suffered a lot from cloggs. My guess is that the heat transfer capacity of a standard E3D v6 is rather low and therefore hasty people (like me!) want to melt too much filament in too little time. The ...

Re: Trouble installing an E3D v6

I have the correct mount and have it working properly with the accelerometer board but for some reason it constantly jams. Every print will start ...

Trouble installing an E3D v6

So I got my Max v3 about 8 months ago and tbh its been nothing but trouble since I got it. I need to print high temp filament so before it was assembled I purchased an E3d v6 to go on it, as I had seen other posts on here about how easy it is to set up. After 2 accelerometer boards I discovered the ...
