    I had to choose Kobra 2 but aimed for the very low-cost Kobra Neo. Bought it used but had to deal with the problems. I disassembled and replaced the extruder but the filament is not melted correctly and does not go through the 0.4 mm nozzle. I often do the "step" test so as to define the exact distance . Then align the 'nozzle in manual with the A4 sheet. Z offset ----> 1.30 . Now I reassemble everything again and hope that this time is the right time . In my opinion the filament once dry behaves badly and is not "accepted" by the caulker. I was better off with the Mega S (as far as the 'extruder was concerned) several years ago. Let me know. Thank you very much.

    @@pierpa_76pierpaolo I’m no expert but making sure the filament is in good condition is important. Since I fixed my Kobra, I dedicate it only for TPU. I make sure to print slowly and I haven’t had any clogs since. I also use glue stick on the bed to make it easier to remove printed parts. There’s not much else I can add. I wish I could be more helpful. Gilles

    @@LetsRogerThat Okay. But in my case the biggest problem is that it doesn't go through the extruder. Pure is mounted everything perfectly. I assemble and reassemble the extruder every day looking for the problem and various replacements (I had to change three times the NTC temperature sensor lasts really short) without even printing. I will try again hoping to get it working again.

    This RT seems like a good deal. I've had a Vertex 8" for quite a few years & from looking at your Vevor it seems very similar. Actually, close to an exact copy. I have a nice 8" 3 jaw, face mount cuck that I can use with it. But rarely use the chuck with the RT. It would be nice to have a larger clamping surface, but a 10" RT is really too heavy for an old man. Instead I cast an aluminum plate and machined it flat, round (11" meant to be 12" but I screwed up) and made 8 T slots. The additional clamping area and T slots helps a lot. I copied Blondihack's center pin scheme to radius the ends of parts. I made a wooden cradle to store the RT on because I leave the locating blocks on the bottom of the RT all the time. I bought the footstock and indexing plates with my RT but now that I have a BS1 indexing head I rarely use them. I tried leaving the RT mounted along with the vice, but it got in the way too often. Other methods of indexing: fast for 2,3,4 &6 facets. Can be mounted at an angle in the vice if needed. I've got the 5C & ER40 blocks and collets because I have other tools that use the same collets. : 360 increments of one ° each. Relatively cheap but requires a collet set. Mine takes 5C collets and I have machined the base parallel to the spindle axis so it can be quickly clamped in the main vice. I reversed the work holding ends for better access to the work. I have a 3" chuck that can be used with the indexer. Comes with indexing plates allowing a very large # of spacings. Can rotate the axis from -10° to straight up. Can use a chuck or work between centers using a foot stock. If you need some odd spacings it is possible to make special plates. Used for making spur gears, spines and can approximate bevel gears. (See Keith Ruck's video on bevel gears.) You can approximate spur gear teeth by hand grinding a single tip tool. Or buy gear cutters. To manage all the tooth counts in a particular gear tooth pattern you need a set of 8 gear cutters. In the straight up position, it takes a lot of Z axis! : Complex setup using a gear set between the mill table x axis feed and the indexing head. Can make spiral gears in addition to spur gears.

    You’re absolutely correct Tony. It’s not meant to be going up and down constantly at full speed. So far after a year or whatever it’s been, I find that it rarely gets moved since it’s a home shop. Perhaps if it was a commercial shop I might have to consider a mechanism that is different. Good observation. Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated. Gilles

    took it all apart. no stuck filament. cleaned the gears. There were little bits of plastic on the gears but probably not something that would stop the gears from turning. I assume my nozzle was just clogged and the extruder was just 'backfiring' because it couldn't push anything through the nozzle. My extruder would suddenly make a ticking(?) sound when extruding. I couldn't extrude normally (only partially), but I could retract from the printer itself (I guess this could have been a clue). I did try cleaning it but it was still clogged. I have only printed various types of PLA and PETG. Nothing else. So Im not sure how it could get clogged and not melt from the high temps (or maybe there was some small bits of metal in the nozzle?!? Anyhoooo I just replaced the nozzle with the spare that came with the printer. I also tightened the x and y belt tensioners, greased up the two vertical axles, greased the horizontal and two parallel slide rails (for head and under the bed, respectively) (all for normal maintenance routine), tightened extruder tension, and recalibrated everything after swapping out the nozzle and after doing the earlier maintenance stuff (auto bed level, vibration, nozzle calibration, etc.) and now it prints like new!! Side notes: Before taking things apart. Check the warranty / refund policy: store.anycubic.com/pages/refund-policy Maybe you will be able to create a support ticket and get things replaced! In my case I was outside the window, but you could still try to create a support ticket and get a part replaced for almost to completely free (based on reddit posts). If you dont want the extruder spring to fly off, you can loosen it completely, cover your hand over the spring contraption, turn it on its side at a angle towards the floor or upside down then slowly pry/pull the gear part of the extruder tension lever away from the rest of the part to get the whole spring contraption loose. No broken eyes for me!! Go easy on the plugs! They are tiny and can easily break. Go slow and do little bits of tugging to get it loose. You should not apply any serious amounts of force on small parts. That is a fast way of breaking something! Thanks for the video though! It gave me some peace of mind that there was guide to disassemble my 3d printer for the first time!

    I see a lot of negative comments here, I think they come from lazy people without imagination who only look for what's easy. I bought a Dewalt DW758 8” bench grinder (USD$275 in my country) and it was a big disappointment for me to put it to work, it vibrated terribly. Worried, I began to investigate the reasons and solutions. I did it!! with just an angle grinder, a drill and a homemade belt grinder. I can't guarantee that the pieces I made were perfect with those tools but they do work perfectly, now I have zero vibrations and I am very satisfied! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, it was very useful to me. Greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨
