Too add, my last 2 print heads have only lasted 100 hours! That is running them in normal settings, standard reel settings using Robox Colorfabb NGEN

I would love to be able to repair them, but nothing is available.

@kamil1 - I do a 20mm ring, wall thickness 1-2x perimiter diameter.

I have a solution to overcome this. Print a sacrificial ring, one layer height and then play around with placement so that the robox prints it first. Gets rid of all issues.

Also has the added benefit of capturing loose piece from purge if your nozzle is dirty.

@Pete - NGen Black still ???

@uhuglue - Im afraid it is: 127 hours 🙁

CEL have always fixed things for me in the past, all will be ok, just bad timing.

@Pete - is this something that can be confirmed, have any changes been made to robox since 2.01.04 (what I was previously running) ?

I think I may have found the issue ☹️ - really been gentle on the print head

@Pete - Would you also be able to tell me why with the latest AM release my thin walled parts not are much more stringy ? I will probably have to roll back software if i cant fix this = no root.

@Bhudson - any suggestions ?

@Pete - Is there somewhere a bug reporting page anywhere. Only 2:

If you pause and stop a print (via IOS running chrome) it does not engage safety features on cool down.
When you open up automaker you have to manually connect to root each time.

+1 I want this on the root. Hoping it comes at some point

@Pete - Looks good so far.

Will CEL be sharing the case stl. ? Quite fancy doing it in black.

@doncolley - Yeh I had a toshiba SD card in packaging supplied in the raspberry pi box.

Changed the usb cable recently ? Think your cable is defective

Once your part has transfered to the printer just pull out the cable.

Interesting to hear. Where did you buy from ?

@nigelberry - Do you have experience in casting lost wax method ?

The bed will distort due to the temperature, especially the hotter you go. Just flip it over 👍

Apart from the defects the rest of the print looks good Phil.

All fixed now 🙂

For all potential future users searching the forum with the same issue. If out of warranty and you need to do it yourself, its pretty simple to do.

Thanks to CEL for quick support of getting a replacement part out asap - Lee FTW
