thanks for the tips.
i am using a gregs's extruder modified to using a mk8 hobbed gear. It has a lot of grip but it stil strips the filament at lower tempersatures. I even tried a spur gear with the same effect .I think the j-head needs a lot more force to push, so i have to use higher temperatures to keep the filament from stippping.
I will try adding more fans . The problem with a auxillary fan on the side is that it cools the part so fast that on a cold bed it just pops up after the fist 20 layers. I am now trying a 50mm centrifugal fan with a spout on it.

Also in your experience is a metal gear motor better than the usual gregs extruder. I also see people using direct drive but i dont know how they get enough torque to go extrude.
Another option i can try is to use a small belt to get a 3:1 ratio..

I am ready using 1/8 microstepping...
