Hardcore not releasing filament at the end of a print

Posted in Hardcore not releasing filament at the end of a print

I have the 3dSolex Hardcore with 0.4mm and 0.8mm nozzles. When printing I have noticed with both sizes that when the UM3 does the final retract at the end of a print after the nozzle has cooled a little bit that the filament is stuck in the nozzle and causing some grinding and raises the nozzle enough that active leveling doesn't work for the next print. Is there a way to change at which temp the UM3 does the final retract. I have the machine set to PLA and this has happened with two different types of PLA. I had not noticed any issues like this when using the UM printcores.

      Q: For some users, abrasive materials may be a new subject matter. Can you explain what it is that makes a material abrasive when you are not sure which print core to use?
      A: Materials which are hard in a solid piece (like metals, ceramics and carbon fibers) will generally also wear down the nozzle. In general one should assume...

      "Back To The Future" using Generative Design & Investment Casting

      SteveCox3D posted a topic in Engineering,

      Designing for light-weight parts is becoming more important, and I’m a firm believer in the need to produce lighter weight, less over-engineered parts for the future. This is for sustainability reasons because we need to be using less raw materials and, in things like transportation, it impacts the energy usage of the product during it’s service life.
