not sure what’s causing this

#

the bowden tube is all the way as far as i can push

#

bed is levelled

low bison Mar 31, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

The image isn’t very clear depicting a nozzle clog

agile parcel Mar 31, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

yeah i cleaned the clog again

#

and now i tried to print a smaller thing and the extruder just pushed the pipe out of itself with the filament inside

#

agile parcel Mar 31, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

replaced the nozzle and the tube holder on the extruder

#

the tube doesn’t go out anymore

#

but still not completely flowing properly

lament agate Mar 31, 2023, 11:46 PM

#

hey in the video

#

ur tube isnt connected to the little white brass extruder holder

#

is that intended?

#

if u click down the white peice u shud be able to put the tube inside

#

but u gotta take out the blue clip first

wind knot Mar 31, 2023, 11:47 PM

#

You need the tube.

#

Needs to be all the way down to the nozzle otherwise the filament melts too early and clogs

lament agate Mar 31, 2023, 11:48 PM

#

yeah im having simular issue

#

wierd thing is my tube is right against the nozzle

#

and im still having clogs XD

#

and i have new tube too i just changed

wind knot Mar 31, 2023, 11:50 PM

#

May have the nozzle to close then

agile parcel Mar 31, 2023, 11:50 PM

#

wind knot Needs to be all the way down to the nozzle otherwise the filament melts too earl...

yeah it kept coming out as the extruder was pushing filament nd there was a clog

#

replaced the nozzle and the tube holding thing nd now it isnt doing it

lament agate Mar 31, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

whats the problem now?

wind knot Mar 31, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

So it’s good?

lament agate Mar 31, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

yeah i replaced the nozzle too

agile parcel Mar 31, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

i just dont think it’s pushing enough

#

the extruder

wind knot Mar 31, 2023, 11:51 PM

#

Recalibrate it then

agile parcel Mar 31, 2023, 11:52 PM

#

thats a thing? 💀

wind knot Mar 31, 2023, 11:52 PM

#

Yeah

#

If you have under extrusion

lament agate Apr 1, 2023, 12:02 AM

#

i keep getting clogs

#

i have changed tube

#

nozzle

#

pushed tube through entire hot end to check for some reason the nozzles keep clogging on me

#

could it be nozzle temp is 200 too low

#

i had no issues before switching to this tube

wind knot Apr 1, 2023, 12:43 AM

#

Maybe you didn’t install it correctly, it’s gotta be 100% touching the nozzle, temps shouldn’t affect that

lament agate Apr 1, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

i have pulled the tube out and put it back in like 10 times now and every time same issue it just stops printing and i cant manually push more filiment out it is jammed

#

i took nozzle out and was able to push the tube all the way out the other end

#

i feel like i got a cheap tube

#

cuz it only started to happen

#

when i switched to a new tube

#

im doing a small print right now

#

im praying that i was able to fix the issue

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 2:03 AM

#

this is the print rn i levelled the bed but its a lil bent on the top left but even on bottom right and the centre the print isnt uniform

#

@lament agate best to create your own thread so that the conversation is not clogged up and someone can help you with your specific problem

wind knot Apr 1, 2023, 3:10 AM

#

agile parcel this is the print rn i levelled the bed but its a lil bent on the top left but e...

Seems like that’s how it’s gonna be with a bed like yours 😆 you could run it a tiny bit high to compensate but idk

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 3:10 AM

#

so it is a bed issue?

#

im just scared that it maybe the extruder or i might have broken something else

wind knot Apr 1, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

If you messed up your bed and bent it then there’s not much you can do, it just looks like inconstant leveling

tribal mesa Apr 1, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

run a bed level test

wind knot Apr 1, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

Because it’s level in some spots but not in others

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

tribal mesa run a bed level test

you mean printing the bed level test file or something inside the firmware?

wind knot Apr 1, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 3:27 AM

#

#

#

tribal mesa Apr 1, 2023, 3:28 AM

#

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 3:28 AM

#

tribal mesa yeah, it kind of gives me the impression that the bed is wobbly?

tribal mesa Apr 1, 2023, 3:28 AM

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 3:28 AM

#

#

cus bed is pretty stable nd when i like rlly push it is when it moves a lil

tribal mesa Apr 1, 2023, 3:29 AM

#

your bed is moving up and down when printing

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 3:29 AM

#

ye

wind knot Apr 1, 2023, 3:29 AM

#

Is the bed warped at all

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 3:30 AM

#

#

💀

wind knot Apr 1, 2023, 3:30 AM

#

Well that’s what I meant sorry

#

Bed, plate, mat.

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 3:30 AM

#

i mean the mat is deformed…

wind knot Apr 1, 2023, 3:30 AM

#

Yeah so that’s the issue then probably

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 3:31 AM

#

gotta ask dad for money then 💀

lament agate Apr 1, 2023, 12:38 PM

#

so i figured out my issue xd

#

It was the tube

#

it was cheap boden tube

#

im upgrading to the blue fancy one

#

i put my old tube back on and it works like charm just short cant print all the way to the one side so yea dont go cheap on your tube

#

hope u fix the issue on ur printer #spider

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

first layer 💀

#

cancelled the print nd this is what its doing

#

gonna wait till i get a new bed now

wind knot Apr 1, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

Well besides the warped “mat” your printer is doing a pretty good job

agile parcel Apr 1, 2023, 5:18 PM

#

i hope the mat is the only problem frfr
