Re: Extruding Problem

The problem has returned. I can extrude as much as I want before the print starts but it will just stop during the print. I rechecked the z stop and bed level and it is just right. I think the tension is Ok. It is just hand tight and doesnt make marks that are too deep. How far should the "bite" be into the filament? What feed rate is recommended? I have never adjusted this parameter so whatever I am using it the same as always. Will a clogged nozzle extrude a nice steady stream of filament? I haven't purchased a 2mm drill bit but it sure seems fine when I test it prior to a print. I have heard a "skipping" noise that is brief and only on a few occasions but it could be the best clue. Any thoughts?

Thanks
