Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Hey 626Pilot There has indeed been a super slight revision! We're impressed that you even noticed. With a few of the first Cyclopes out the door we had a couple of people that managed to strip the very short length of thread on the nozzle. At that time (around a year ago now! hardly feels it) we had ...

The temperature curve, and the fan-on/fan-off being what is controlling whether it gets to temp or not very much points to this not being assembled with a gap between block and sink. This is quite likely to cause damage to your machine as the top of the heatsink will get incredibly hot and start to ...

Just wanted to link over to the Q&A I've been doing on G+, if you've any burning questions do ask over there!

Jarrett - If you're having problems we'll sort you out! No drill bits needed. Just get in touch on our contact us page http://e3d-online.com/ContactUs on our site. If you need a new nozzle you need a new nozzle. We don't expect our customers to have to take drill bits to our product to get it to work.

bvandiepenbos Yup the PTFE tube goes right into the HeatBreak, but the PTFE passes off the filament to the break while it is still in the cold section of the hotend. This means that you're getting all metal high temperature performance with no chance of PTFE meltdown or cooking, but still PTFE ...

Mike I'm totally inclined to believe you, especially if you're freezing out the PLA (which I misread as you doing a hot pull at glass transition temp to release the filament - apologies). I think it's possible that there may have been a batch, or portion of a batch with slightly offset nozzle ...

I've just gone through a few hundred nozzles with a set of callipers and a drill bit as a depth probe. Including some from older batches. All of which measured around 1.05-1.10, in a single batch they vary less than 0.03 or so. My method was to insert a 2mm drill bit into the jaws of the calipers ...

Just to say - that we're actually going to take a huge road trip off the island, going to our manufacturers, do a bunch of measuring, etc etc. We're absolutely looking into this whole nozzle orifice length as a possible avenue for combating issues. No verdict as yet, but much thanks to Mr Hackney ...

Hi all! Long time since I checked in here, perhaps too long. Things have just been crazy at E3D and I don't have as much time as I'd like to peruse forums and the like. McSlappy kindly got in touch via the support system to let me know about this little saga. The main culprit for jamming is usually ...

Sanjay from E3D here, the threaded couplers use a 1/8th BSPP thread which is a very common standard pneumatic fitting thread.

Sanjay from E3D here! I am afraid I am quite useless to you all on this question - never used repetier firmware myself, just marlin. The advice that Nylocke gives is sound and I would go with that. (Use sensor 100 for the AD595 on the board) If you find a solution that works don't forget to add ...

Sanjay from E3D here! Here is a drawing of the top face of the Kraken. (Where the filament bowden tubes and the water inlets enter) http://i.imgur.com/Hdyzz70.jpg The outermost 4 holes at the corners are M3 mouting holes. The innermost 2 holes are water inlet/outlet. The other 4 are the filament ...

Sanjay from E3D here again! So much going on here, lots of questions and lots of answers. Not a lot of time. I will come back and answer everthing once I have a moment. Just moved house, quit my job, gone full E3D, its been a crazy time. Just wanted to let you all know that we are doing a 20% off ...

None of the links are for the right ones guys, sorry! I am keeping my cards to my chest a little on this one. The guys we deal with don't do retail either, or buying online. But the thing to bear in mind is that our couplers are modded by us when we get them, which allows you to pass the tubing ...

Absolutely stinks of a loose wire! Keep the printer stationary, and go along all your wires flexing and shaking them. Connectors too. You'll find one area or connector that causes the sudden temp reading change. There's your break! Let me know how you get on. If you're still having issues make a ...

Sanjay from E3D here! Sounds awesome! We're introducing 0.3 and 0.35 soon too to our range. Want to get some smaller ones on the go too. Just to nitpick and be a boring business person - the designs we release are for non-commercial use only. So if you're just recycling that with a smaller orifice ...

Eaglezsoar: We get them in bulk from a leader in the pneumatics industry - we then modify them to our specification, and then they go on the product. We will get them on the site asap for people to buy - expect a price of around £2.50 with it already modified by us. I'm not going to talk about the ...

Hey guys, Just posted the weights of the individual components for kraken on the product page: http://e3d-online.com/The-Kraken You should obviously bear in mind that for a 4 nozzled setup you will have one cooler block, but 4x heater blocks, nozzles, and heatbreaks. Don't have time to post more ...

v5 stuff is all we are shipping now, no v4 or v4.1 stuff is left.

Fiero2M6 I tend to go for .25mm layers and 0.5mm wide traces on the 0.4mm nozzle for most structural stuff, like printer parts for example. You should be able to push the trace width higher than that, I expect you will start getting rough top surface finish when you begin to exceed 0.8mm trace ...

Flateric Yup the bowden version isn't just us charging you £16 for a bit of tube and two couplers! That would be daft. The bowden version uses a low friction delrin coupler with steel teeth that we modify so that the tube doesn't just push into the coupler, but actually pushes through it. The ...

Generic Default No lies, just a lost piece of paper and a bit of confusion between me and my shipping guy - I emailed you a little while ago with the tracking number, which you will see has a shipping date of the 23rd. (If you are who I think you are that is) Flateric Cheers for the kind words, it ...

Eaglezsoar Seems scribd may have changed the way they deal with downlaods etc. Paying for an instruction manual is obviously a stupid concept and not our intention. We are not getting money off this in any way, it's just the way scribd have things set up now. Will get an alternative download link ...

Dirt or swarf on or in the filament can cause blockages. A dust cleaner made of sponge for your filament as it enters the extruder eliminates this.

The other cause can be junk from filament contaminants. Depends on your filament quality.

Corey,

Sorry to hear you had some bad luck with your hotend.

Don't worry too much, all our parts have come in, and I expect your second order for replacements to have shipped in a few days time. No months involved!
