When I went to print the b-side z drives I ran into heat creep.
I had a bunch of successful prints through this (kilos of ASA) and had already printed nine or so hours of ASA earlier in the day.
I’m running a Xol mod with a cutter and the PTFE lengths weren’t specified so I estimated.
But it looks like I shorted myself on my PTFE just a bit and it ended up sliding back 1.5mm, apparently enough to creep and stop things up.
Edit: on closer inspection it also looks like I used the wrong inner diameter PTFE… I’m surprised it worked as well as it did.
