E3D Kraken vs dual V6?

[mhackney]

No problem what so ever. It is surprisingly not stiff. No simple solutions for multiple extruders yet.

Well that's good to hear at least, thought it would be crazy stiff considering those 2 hoses. Not sure it would be right for me without the software though, that would be the difficult part, but I guess I'll have to do some more reading, see what it's going to take to get it working.

Well, I went ahead and placed an order for 2 v6's. They're now available for purchase, and with a 10% discount it was too good of a deal to pass on. $156 shipped from Filastruder for the 2, after shipping and discount.

Now I just need to figure out how I'm supposed to mount these. I will need much help, I apologize in advance!

So, I need to get myself another extruder (cold end), is it better for me to go with another EZStruder, or should I put together Greg's Wade Reloaded? I'm not really sure how the two compare. I'm not terribly impressed by the EZStruder... my first impression was of a warped cover and misaligned parts... it works, but this often happens:

At the same time, I was looking at bubbasnow's post (http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php ... 9&start=20) for ideas on how to mount the dual E3D's, and his looks nice.

You're ezstruder is being overpowered by the pressure required to extrude the filament, when it reaches enough torque, you drop steps until the required torque drops.
It can be a number of things, the current could be set too high or low, you could be over extruding, if it's the first layer, your Zero position could be too close to the bed, or it could be a mechanical issue making the filament harder to push. I'd start by pushing the filament by hand when to happens, first from just above the Hotend then through the Bowden tube, if that is reasonable, I'd start looking for mechanical issues on the EZ Struder, then fiddle with the current.

I like my EZ struder, the issue with Greg's/wades is they are very dependent on the quality of the hobbed bolt and they don't like very fast retracts, I actually have 4 EZ Struders, but only 2 currently assembled.

I see, thanks... I did think it was a jam at the hotend, and did test by manually feeding it, all smooth... so I'll have to look into whether it's an issue with the current.
The shipping kills it for me with the EZStruder. $75 shipped for the EZStruder with motor ($15 for shipping)... I know it doesn't seem like much, but it's adding up quickly. $75 seems like a lot for just the EZStruder.
