E180 : Various changes and ..problem!
Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2018 8:03 am
Hi guys!
I recently purchased a GEEETECH E180, the last model I think. The first problem (dragging the PLA wire), I solved it by replacing the original plastic drive unit in a metal one, definitely performing.
Unfortunately, the extruder was obstructed, so I replaced it..existing the whole extruder group piece by piece (I had not seen it was so easy to unhook the nozzle only)!
Result: now the temperature marks "0", since the thermocouple has a disconnected cable. I will save it to the circuit but I am not sure that the thermocouple will adhere perfectly to the nozzle. Does Geeetech have complete extruder groups to sell or alternatively are there other adaptable ones?
Thanks bye
