[Changing the hot end assembly]

Hi Robert, thanks for the reply.

I got it half way with the heat, but can't go any further.

Any advice on lube?

 

[Changing the hot end assembly]

Hi,

My hot end jammed, and I didn't feel like messing too much with it while it was on the machine, so I ordered a new set of parts for the hot end.

BUT when I tried putting the heating element into the new aluminum block, it only went half way and then it got stuck there, now I can't take it out or put it further in.

What would be the best way to lubricate the hole/heating element and remove/push further that part?

Thanks.

hmm. default latest Cura still prints better for me than default newest Netfabb, volumetric, with reset machine settings.

and yet i see people with really really good outputs with no post-processing, and it makes me wonder what am i doing wrong.
