    Hey there,

    I just bought a V6 Gold editon with everything nice. :-D

    I installed it on my DIY Printer - the Idea comes from Prusa i3 but it's full metal.
    Verything looks good but I can't push the filament thru.

    I checkt my extruder it skipted a few stepps, till I changed the A. Now this is working fine. But I still can't psu enougth filament thru by hand.

    I am using:

    V6 Gold - pre assabled in hope it's plug n print
    ABS+ 1.75
    30 Watt heater
    NEMA 17 without gears

    I only achived to push maybe 2 cm of "printed" filament thru the nozzle thats it.

    And I even tried 260°c - it should do fine at 220 - 230.

    :( I think I found my problem.
    I used the temperature sensor 55 in Marlin. Now I changed to 5.

    My hotend was just too cold I think.... Sorry what a shame.

    But maybe you can tell me if sensor 5 is right?
