So I got some N-vent to try out and it prints amazing however after a bit it heats up and the heat spreads up the filliment till the pressure of feeding it actuly makes it bigger to the point it jams and strips out. My question is do I need to print faster or do I need more heat?
Sorry I'm sure this is a nob question.
I'm headed to a trade show on Sunday and was trying to get a prototype finished and its just not quite happening.
The abs prints fine but is just a tad brittle.

Pretty sure N-vent is similar to PETG, so you do not want to speed it up. You want to slow it way down. It's a flexible filament that needs time to melt. It's going to be important to watch the tension on the filament drive screw with a PETG style filament also, because that might be what is causing it to strip out. (Keep the tooth marks at about 15-20%.) Only slightly more tension than PLA, which is practically none.

Thanks for the info you guys are awesome!
I also had it retracing too far and think that might have been part of the issue as well!

I'm not officially part of the makergear family till tomorrow that's when the M2 is being delivered!
Right now I am using an xyz machine that is more or less a toy. Yes it prints but it also brakes all the time. I am so looking forward to getting a solid machine and being apart of this family of inventors.

So as of right now I can't really adjust the tension of the filament drive on this machine tomorrow will be a different story
