I’m using a custom made printer direct drive 2mm retraction 100-120% flow rate 210c temp 60 bed temp no fan blowing towards the bed. When I send a command to extrude filament it does perfectly then when I go to print I don’t see any filament coming out.

AI Help

It sounds like you may be facing a clog in your hotend or a problem with your nozzle. You can try cleaning the nozzle with a cold pull or nozzle cleaning kit, checking for any obstructions in the hotend, and ensuring that the extruder gear is gripping the filament properly. Additionally, you may want to check that your filament is loaded correctly and that the extruder motor is functioning properly. If the issue persists, you may need to further troubleshoot or potentially replace the hotend or nozzle.

Do a cold pull

# lament pond Do a cold pull

It’s not clogged filament comes out when I manually do it or send a command it just doesn’t when it’s starting the Gcode

Also 2 mm retraction on a direct extruder? What are you using?

hmm.. not the issue.

quiet chasm
#

The bed is level the nozzle isn’t too close either

lament pond
#

it just doesn't extrude when slicer gcode?

quiet chasm
#

Correct

lament pond
#

hmm slicer settings, that woud be a pain to troubleshoot

This is my first time trying to print in this printer, I built it completely custom.

rigid locust
#

can you connect the printer to a pc via usb to send a G1 E50 command?

quiet chasm
#

Is that the extruding command?

Marlin Firmware
Linear Move

The G0 and G1 commands add a linear move to the queue to be performed after all previous moves are completed. These commands yield control back to the command parser as soon as the move is queued, but they may delay the command parser while awaiting a slot in the queue.

yep

rigid locust
#

Yes

quiet chasm
#

Yeah I did 100 and it it did it fine

rigid locust
#

Then its not the slicer since its using that

#

does the extruder gear move?

quiet chasm
#

Yes

#

I’m sending commands through pronterface and I’m slicing throughcura

rigid locust
#

Humor me, start a print and move the nozzle up a bit

quiet chasm
rigid locust
#

Or the bed down however this works

quiet chasm
#

I’ll try again

rigid locust
#

What hotend? Does the extruder motor click when it tries to extrude?

quiet chasm
#

No clicking, cyclops e3d

rigid locust
#

Oh, and have you calibrated Esteps?

quiet chasm
#

No lmao I forgot

rigid locust
#

Do that

quiet chasm
#

lol bet thank you

rigid locust
#

Also thats a 2 in 1 out hotend?

quiet chasm
#

Yes

lament pond
#

(imagine it still has the same issue after doing that)

quiet chasm
#

Only using one filament at the moment tho

rigid locust
#

You got filament in both?

quiet chasm
#

One

rigid locust
#

Because I can imagine the molten plastic backing up through the second channel 🤔 no experience with these though

quiet chasm
#

I’ll look into it I’ll let you know after I calibrate e stepper
