I am hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. I am running a Railcore II ZL with core xy setup using a Bondtech extruder and a Mosquito Magnum hotend. I am running a 0.4 mm Tungsten Carbide nozzle (love these nozzles by the way, better
Upgraded from Mosquito to Mosquito Magnum, now it overheats
I upgraded my Prusa's Mosquito to a Mosquito Magnum, including the insulator. I used the boron paste on everything, redid PID autotuning, and did a few prints, everything looked good. But eventually it jammed up. I checked the Bondtech extruder tension;

Stringing with Prusa Mini w/ BondTech extruder and Copperhead hot end
I went all in with the upgrades for my Mini. I can print filaments now that I couldn't print before. The print quality is over the top. Mini has never printed this well before. However... I have bad stringing that that won't go away. The stringing is
Raise 3d Pro 2 Plus Upgrade kit
We just got the Pro2 Plus upgrade kit for our printer. We got the kit installed and when we go to run the PID calibration, it says autotune failed. The default temp is 240 C it will heat up to 240 but continues to go past it until 280 - 290 C and then
Identifying vanadium nozzles
Hi, I have a few vanadium and bridge master nozzles, but am having difficulty telling them apart. I'm about to do some PETG-CF printing and keen not to destroy my bridgemaster nozzles. Is there any identifying mark, scratch test, or way to clearly distinguish
mosquito onto anycubic kobra max
My kobra max has a volcano style hotend from the factory and I would like to upgrade to a mosquito. I was wondering if anyone makes adapter brackets going from volcano style to mosquito style. I don't want a decrease in speed capabilities so I'm not sure
Polarity Thermocouple

How do I install ddx copperhead onto DDX extruder?
I've searched high and low and I can't find installation instructions for a ddx copperhead onto a DDX extruder. Can someone point me to them?
Typical Feed Rate for PLA?
I've just made a new printer with a Mosquito with 0.4mm CHT nozzle, a Voron silicon sock 50W bond tech heater and a 300C thermistor. The feed rate seems like it could be a bit slow. It's probably half of what I'd expect. I'm printing 1.75 PLA at 210c

What is the max flow rate in the Mosquito Magnum for PETG? I purchased the Mosquito Magnum with the impression that it would provide much greater flow rate than the stock Prusa V6 hot end. The most I have been able to reliably push through the hot end

Is there a bimetallic heatbreak available for the Mini without a whole hotend?
mosquito hotend flow rate
I have a mosquito hotend and the flow rate seems really low. I'm running a .4 nozzle and can't seem to print very fast without the extruder jumping on the filament. I have tried two new nozzles. I have check steps on the extruder and they are correct.
Print Speed with Mosquito Magnum and 1mm+ Nozzles?
With the Magnum and a 1.0 - 1.6mm nozzle what sort of print speed can be expected before the hot end cannot keep up?
