I recieved a highly modified Ender 2(?) as a gift from a friend that has a Ras Pi klipper/mainsail install that wont extrude. The fillament feeds through fine (PLA+) and passively goes when hot, but wont actively extrude when printing.

It sounds like you may have a clog in the hotend or a problem with the extruder. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

  1. First, check to make sure the nozzle is clear and not clogged. You can try manually pushing filament through the hotend to see if it extrudes properly.

  2. Check the tension of the extruder arm against the filament. Sometimes, the tension needs to be adjusted to provide enough force for proper extrusion.

  3. Make sure the temperature settings for the filament are correct in the slicer software and on the printer itself. PLA+ typically prints around 200-220°C.

  4. Check the Bowden tube for any obstructions or kinks that may be preventing smooth filament flow.

  5. If none of the above steps work, you may need to re-calibrate the E-steps for the extruder motor to ensure it is pushing the correct amount of filament.

If you are still experiencing issues after trying these troubleshooting steps, I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer or a ...

Using prusa slicer, temps are around 220 for extrude, 60 for bed

Dumb question but did you tell about this to that friend?
Which slicer are you using?

Ok now could you slice a simple cube or anything else and share the gcode file

#

I just want to make sure the macro is working as intended

okay after a bit of examination there are commands that I had never seen and seem to be related to the reprap firmware. Are you sure that ender is running klipper ? Or it's the printer profile which is wrongly set maybe?

#

ensure that the flavor is set to klipper

I'll re-export just in case it was an old copy

#

A few days ago I found it was set to Marlin but they should be set to klipper now

oh you copied the mk4 profile so that makes sense I guess

#

I suggest you run the wizard and add a proper profile for your machine

#

just don't forget to change the default flavor to klipper
