Hi,
I got gifted a Artillery Sidewinder X1 which I'm pimping a bit. I used an older V6 and Bondtec QR extruder, both from ca. 5 years ago.
I have it running in direct config, with a volcano hotend and normal e3d .6 brass volcano nozzle.
In general the machine runs well, I'm just noticing a very leaky extruder, which I'm not really getting under control. I did some retraction tests and settled for a distance of 1.5mm at 25mm/s.
Since I have been running mainly normal e3d heater blocks and .4 nozzles I wonder is the combo of a bigger nozzle and longer meltzone means that the extruder by default is leakier in general. Or is it simple is that the pressure advance is off?
What do you guys think?
