Thanks keep posting on your results. I have had many problems with jams in the extruder/hot end. Seem to have solved it by switching all of my nozzles to the Phateus ones, they seem to work much better.
have the same exact issue and as of right now as requested by support to run without the connector covers, performance reliability is slightly better. but anyone also observing the flickering tool head LED?
PR was warned about stuff like this a long, long time ago. They could have solved this and taken an industry lead. Not only did they ignore that, they clearly don't have enough diagnostics in their products to troubleshoot such an obvious thing.
@@krollmond7544 I'm not convinced a toolchanger is really necessary for multimaterial. There are less expensive+problematic ways to handle that. A toolchanger would be needed for things like other actual toolheads (and I don't think they've released anything other than the 1) or something like having multiple nozzle sizes available. Size will just depend on what you're trying to do. So unless you have something really, really specific in mind and are immediately ready to go to recoup your rmoney, it seems like a waste.
You sure are having ALOT of problems with such a “reliable” printer…. Good thing all that trouble was offset by the shear value proposition huh? Oh wait, that’s right, those are almost 5 GRAND aren’t they? What a colossal pile is shit. I’m curious what your plan is when it breaks down again? Kind of challenging for it to make you any money when all the money you could have saved is spent on fixing it…
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction on this issue. My XL is 100% working on all five extruders!
Is your printer still holding strong?

@ Yes with the new connector mod on Printables
So glad to see progress!!!
Heck yeah!

Great to hear!

All mine flicker.

Stupid. They never heard of pg7 strain relief?
Do you recommend this printer? I really want a toolchanger
why do you want a toolchanger?
@GoatZilla mostly for multi material, I could care less for multi color. Plus the size of the XL seems like a plus

This printer is awesome..... when it works. I would personally wait for the 2nd version of this before I purchased it
@@monkeybraincreations 2nd version?
