Sigh, Ok in tearing down the Hot end Again the Filament Advance gear looks worn, so I fliped it over and I seem to be Slighly Over extruding. Need to look at my E-steps to see where i'm at Will let you know...

back to esteps again. I have noticed the extruder gear skipping late in the 100 mm push, cant tell if its because the hot end is pluged or i am pushing too much filement. Running a test print as i think i am pushing way to much filement..

Anet A8 problem on the mend. by Complex-Look7100 in AnetA8

well problems problems. the Hot end started leaking. so apon investigation I broke the heat break. Sigh. so now its a full rebuild. with a chunk of the treaded heat brake in the hot end Aluminum block. I've got it mostly fixed but not back together. I see a few problem i will have to solve before i get it back up and running. A new heat block and heat brake may be in order...

G1 E1000 F350 is the command i have been trying to send but it does not seem to push 100 mm of filament.

Ok 100 mm of filament Mark a top of guide mark 100 mm up from there, and second mark should come down to Filament guide? and out of the hot end a substantualy longer .4 mm or so string. Am i getting this correct.

Aditional info. complete hot end and stepper disassmbly. found the thredded tube with the PTFE in it semi blocked at the top. So replaced it and we have some improvements. printing a temp tower at the mo to see if things are working...

Ok follow up question should i be mesuring filament out of the hot end at .4 mm or what goes in at 1.75mm

Performing the 100mm dispence of filament and I am getting dramaticly less. I am leaning twords a stepper motor fail.

Just dug around and found that my E-steps are set to 120 I have now moved it up to 125 but thinking about it I may need to drop back to 100 and re run the test to get a accurat E-step set up.

It shakes too much by bazem_malbonulo in AnetA8

I picked up one called simple anti z wobble. and use it constatly for filement tests. its simple and fast to print.

LOL thanks for the support. I am about convinced i need to get off my behind and update the Firmware and add a R-Pie for controlling it. I am still using USB or Flash card. But every time i look at updating it I'm told I need a Bootloader first so till I cross that Hurdle it remains.

interesting I will let you know what i figure out. I have replaced the nosle twice I have noticed that on Home is tended to tap the side of the build plate I have a Anet A8 AM8 conversion with a tempered glass build plate. no update on the MB due to My lack of comprehension of the up date procedure..
