After nearly 12 month of jams and blockages and failed prints i have found the key to fixing the mk8 extruder problem! scrap it and buy a new one from a different company. I brought the makerfarm Greg's extruder and the ed3-v6 hot end and all my troubles are over. I get excellent quality prints and ...

ok so the extruder works. however the extruder jams and the filament jams in the throat. the motor starts clicking randomly during printing. If i pause the print i can force the filament pass the jam and then the pla flows freely, however the filament will eventually jam again. If i am reverse the e...

I Have had all these problems also, its seems the mark 8 extruder is just shit in general. I have had some patchy success but a lot of failure. i have been trying for 6 months the rest of the printer is fine just the bloody extruder

at 210 the e truder motor still skips, 220 is about the minimum i can use successfully

i have tried multiple stl files.

if i try to run at 200 it will not extrude at all. As is show in the picture i am attaching shows i get excellent prints till between 20 - 35 layers and then the extruder seems to block and the flow stops and I get stringy melted plastic instead of nice orderly prints.

Ok so once he printer has made a few layers I should dole he temp back down to 200?

i am runnign at 230deg for PLA

that has helped a lot, however my extruder still seems to randomly get blocked after about 20 layers of infill
