ender 3 v2 neo won’t extrude

[zinc pulsar]

The gear is slipping but when it retracts it works just fine, I’ll add some vids and hopefully they help

that stock e3 extruder is trash

i had the same issue

tried everything

i bought bondtech dual drive extruder clone for like 16$

and everything works great

there might be someone who knows how to fix it

but i would still buy a better extruder just to prevent future problems with this garbage extruder

from a quick look

its looks like the bowden tube on the hotend side is bend and pretty tightly wraped with the zip tie

I’m returning it to amazon, I bought it as new, after close inspection of things, it was definitely used. Lots of dust in the power supply, hot end was missing a screw, the gear actually had a grove in the middle, and there were very slight scratches on the bed.

But to have 4 screws on one printer and 3 on another of the exact same model?
