Hey fellow Sumpod owners
Does anybody have experience with the Hot End upgrade (without heat sink) for the original Sumpod, he or she would like to share? I did the mechanical part yesterday and plan to fire it up this evening for the first time. Having had a hard time with the old Hot End (see my endless posts on Sumpod.com), I would be interested in tips and tricks like distance of the heater block to the nozzle tip, how many layers of capton tape you applied, and so on.
Then I also upgraded to the dual extruder directly. As suspected and mentioned to Richard beforehand, the alignment of the nozzles in Z is a freakin pain in the ...
How did you solve that? Might it be a good idea to sand both tips to the same Z height?
Thank you for your reply and lets breathe some life into this forum!
Cheers,
Andy
