Comment on Well there's your problem

  Here are two before and one after. Lower left = top layer over extrusion, but the bottom was fine. Lower right = that’s only 2-3 layers in total, but since it was way too close to the bed it was rippling like crazy. The cube = hot off the press and looking pretty good.

  I didn’t take any fixed photos of the hot end, but this page has a number of pictures showing what it should look like (look at the three screws if you didn’t see them sticking out in my earlier picture).

      Happy to help! For a little more context on the pictures: the hot end is available with blue and black anodizing. I have the black version (mostly because that was what was in stock). In my photo, the back silicone sock has been removed. Here’s a better photo, also from the linked page. I’ve circled the three screws I’m talking about.

        Ah, I knew I was missing something in the picture!

        Thank you for pointing that out!
