It’s possible that your nozzle is clogged

To me it looks like the bed is not leveled/ print is not sticking to the bed

By leveling your bed

stuck lantern Sep 23, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

i tried leveling it as best as i could

astral mortar Sep 23, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

When printing the filament should squish into the bed slightly

stuck lantern Sep 23, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

ohh

astral mortar Sep 23, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

A good way to tell if your bed is leveled or not is to print a bed level test

stuck lantern Sep 23, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

i cant even do that

#

i literally cannot print anything

#

but i’ll try getting it as close to the nozzle without it touching the bed

Try running a print and post a video of it here

With isopropyl alcohol and paper towels

#

Helps it stick

Yeah the bed level seems good, looks like a clog like @delicate terrace said

#

Try doing a cold pull see it can clear the clog

#

If not, try these steps.
Cleaning out a clog

Fire up the nozzle to 230.
Take off the bowden tube.
Take off the nozzle.
Take off the coupler.
Take a piece of bowden tube and feed it through to scrape the inside of the hot end.
Put the nozzle on.
Then push filament through it and make sure it comes out straight.
Then put everything back together.
Make sure the bowden is cut straight and clean too.
