ive tried everything to fix my printer, it keeps making clicking noises constantly while printing causing the prints to come out as a stringy mess, ive tried tightining the filiment extruder, releveling more than 10 times, changing my slicer settings, nothing works, im on my last leg, the filiment also is doesnt seem to be able to stick to the bed for whatever reason, i need help please!

i have a flash forge adventure 3 i'm using PLA+ bed temp of 70c and extruder temp of 220c

AI Help

It sounds like you have already tried some of the common solutions to fix stringing, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including improper retraction settings, clogged or worn extruder nozzle, incorrect filament diameter, and print speed. Clicking noises during printing can also indicate a clogged nozzle or feeding problems.

One thing you can do is try checking the extruder gear and make sure it is properly aligned and not slipping. Also, check for any signs of clogging in the nozzle by doing a cold pull.

Regarding bed adhesion problems, you may want to try cleaning the bed surface with isopropyl alcohol and making sure it is level and properly calibrated. Another potential solution is using a bed adhesive like hairspray or glue stick.

If these solutions don't work, you may want to consider reaching out to the manufacturer or a professional repair service for further assistance.

Also, please note that I will not answer questions related to weapons or other non-3D print...

i didnt know you could do that

#

sorry

#

no worries

#

So first of all, you are wrapping multiple issues in here -- clicking extruder and filament not sticking

#

PLA+ should not need a 70C bed, 60 max

#

and if the bed is leveled correctly, make sure the surface is clean (clean with dishsoap and warm water). If it's PEI, you can try to make it work better by giving it s scrub with the rough side of a scotch brite

#

clicking extruder means the filament is blocked somewhere, so you need to check the extrusion system behind the extruder/filament feeder

fallen quartz i did do that

Best thing is to run a test print. Then have a look at (or send pictures of) the bottom of the print.

keen shard And what did you find?

well i cleaned the extruder, and checked the filiment feeder gear and it looked fine, but the filiment is coming out really really thin.

out of the nozzle? Sounds like you have a partial clog

#

could be that the motor skips steps?

#

could you make a video of the extruder while the noise occur

fallen quartz Apr 7, 2023, 10:05 PM

#

dusty lake could you make a video of the extruder while the noise occur

sure it may take a while tho, but it basically every once in a while the motor skips a ton then it stops for a while but the print still doesnt come out well

#

sometimes it doesnt even skip at all and the print is bad

#

you can see how thin its coming out in this video and how its not sticking

#

@dusty lake ^

fallen quartz Apr 7, 2023, 10:54 PM

#

as you can see the filiment doesnt stick to the bed and gets stuck on the extruder
