@SharkWitLasers Yup. A friend of mine is having a hell of a time getting his to print no matter what he does. The ink is constantly clogging and sputtering. I had a sublimation printer in the past and you had to print something every day to keep from clogging.
@ChuckHellebuyck@CNC_Kitchen I don't think you're wrong Chuck. I would imagine that type of tube would be very abrasive to the filament causing debris buildup. Higher friction makes the extruder motor work harder. If the resistance exceeds the motor's torque, it may skip steps. Maybe this is by design.:)
@tripodsgarage@CanuckCreator I agree it’s bad idea. Soot mixed with humidity is no bueno as it causes corrosion to components. It also gets into to all the nooks and crannies eventually wearing out bearings and other mechanical parts. Also not a fan of the multipurpose machine.
@CanuckCreator As a 3d Printer and Laser user, this is not a good idea at all! The debris a laser creates is toxic and if not properly vented can cause health hazards as well as corrosive to your 3d printer.
