#Consistent failed extrusions on Ender 5 S1

I can't get anything to really print at all on my Ender 5 S1. I can't play with movement speed, bed temp, or extruder temp because if I use preheating (only way to set temps) I just get trapped into a reboot loop, and changing movement speeds has had no effects. Currently is printing at 200c extruder, 50c bed.

Essentially, I don't know if it's that the PLA is getting dragged or it just isn't cooling/adhering to the bed, but nothing really sticks. Once the extruder moves, it takes everything with it. It isn't just stringy, it literally outputs a mess of string. This happens with both the test filament and with Inland PLA I picked up recently.

Can send pictures/video if helpful, don't particularly want to waste more PLA but will do if necessary. Have already tried leveling, changing z-offset, etc. This printer is new, haven't done a successful print on it before. Will not respond to attempts to upgrade firmware, lots of stuff is finicky.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing trouble with your Ender 5 S1. Let's try to troubleshoot the issue together.

Firstly, it's important to ensure that your bed is properly leveled. Even a slight imbalance can affect the adhesion of the print. If you've already checked the leveling and the z-offset, that's great.

Next, let's focus on the filament extrusion. Stringy output and poor adhesion are often signs of over-extrusion. Considering that you've tried changing the extruder temperature and speed without success, it could be an issue with the extruder itself.

I would recommend checking your extruder assembly for any clogs or blockages that might be hindering the filament flow. Additionally, check the tension of your extruder spring to ensure it's properly gripping the filament.

Finally, it could be worth checking the slicer settings. Make sure you have the correct filament diameter and nozzle size selected in your slicer software. You could also try adjusting the retracti...

  • printer make/model: Ender 5 S1.

  • mods: none

  • firmware: stock, v1.0.6 (printer will not update to v1.0.7)

  • leveling: done that

  • z-offset: done that, tried tons of values between min and max (0.00 and 5.00)

  • no clogs or blockages in filament flow. in all honesty filament is coming out fine, it's just what happens after it comes out. no tension issues.

  • slicer is set correctly

(please ping when responding, ty)

try 210 hotend and 60 bed

#

and z offset it different for every1

#

so retune it

#

there should be almost no gap between the nozzle and bed when you do

Please explain a bit further this reboot problem. Did you check your power supply, if the right input voltage is set for your part of the world? (110 V for the USA, 220V pretty much everywhere else)

#

Before you take a stab at the tuning of the printer, we should first get it running 😁

reboot problem appears to be some software thing. if I use the preheating option to manually set the temp (because as I said before, can't set it otherwise) when I press start on the print after like 2 seconds the head stops making any noises, nothing has moved, and like 2 minutes later it acts like I had just flipped the power switch (oh and the display freezes up, I can still get beeps from pressing buttons but nothing is responsive)

Did you reset your printer to factory settings? If that doesn't do it, I would try reflashing the original firmware, it seems like something on the system is seriously wrong.

# quiet plaza How does that show?

Normally if an SD card is inserted on boot it won't boot because it assumes I'm trying to update firmware, but there's no firmware on. If I put firmware on the SD, it actually just boots straight up

@quiet plaza factory reset was unfortunately unsuccessful

#

i mean i did the reset but didnt fix it

#

Gonna take it to MC today, see what they say

returned it since they had no idea what to do for it

Will you get a different printer?
