Hey all,
first of all, I don’t come around much because, well, Lulzbots just work most of the time and most of the other times I can find the answer without asking. This is quite a testament to the line.
Anyway, the base for my original extruder has cracked (I’m not upset, it put through 20-30kg of filament first) and I want your opinion. Should I fix this one or just get an Aurostruder as a replacement?
BTW, I have the MOAR and a dualy, I just want something for general use when I don’t need the MOAR or dual.
The stock extruder is definitely worth fixing. If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like the extruder mount is broken. This is a pretty easy fix.
If you decide not to undertake repair, don’t throw that broken extruder out! Put it on eBay, or such like – there’s a lot of folks who’d love to rebuild it for a spare or just to have an easy way to change nozzle diameters…
