Re: 45 xp not working
Do you have contaminated air. Can you post a picture of your bad consumables?

Looks like air supply contamination to me. How old is your compressor?

The black deposit looks like contamination. Mine always look shiny & clean until they are used up.

Definitely contaminated air. Huge improvments will be seen when using a quality filtration setup to eliminate particulate, oil, and water.
