Change your printers!

evan.stoddard

I thnk you should start putting fans by the extruders and heating elements like most 3d printers.  You didn't do that on the portable brief case on and the heating element fried pretty quickly.  Just a suggestion.

  • If your going to put a fan on your hotend make sure it not directly blowing on the tip as you will encounter a lot of jams in your machine.  I can say this from trial and error with my machine.  I've been running the Lulzbot Budaschnozzle 1.1 on my prusa for almost year and have never had the heating element burn out.   This Budaschnozzle hot end was built to not have a cooling fan.   Im currently working on getting the hotend to work with the Makergear gearbox as i like that it doesnt have any printing parts like my Gregs Wade extruder that im currently using.
