Hotend Replacement
DRIVE GEAR:
Ensure the drive gear’s filament channel is clean and free of filament shavings (1). The drive gear should also be aligned
with the tensioning bearing (2) and properly tightened down on the flat edge of the motor shaft.
MANUAL EXTRUSION:
Detach the filament guide tube to reveal a portion of the filament. Heat up the hotend and manually feed the filament
into the extruder. If the molten filament emerges from the tip of the nozzle and quickly curls upward (3), the hotend may
be partially jammed.
SLICING SETTINGS:
High speed or resolution settings may over-work the extruder motor and heater cartridge causing the printed surface to
have missing gaps and other imperfections.
A. Resolution - Lower resolution (300 micron) requires a higher filament flow rate. Keep printing temperature above 220
degrees Celsius and print speed under 80mm/s.
B. Speed - Under default resolution, the recommended printing speed is between 60mm/s - 80mm/s.
C. Temperature - Temperature defaults at 220 degrees Celsius, and should not exceed 230 degrees Celsius.
Hotend swaps are performed to replace a hotend that is fully/partially jammed. A partially jammed hotend will affect the
print quality and leave striations on the print surface. Go through the checklist below to see if there may be other issues
before resorting to a hotend swap.
