problem with the extrusion

Post by jccdesign » Sat Sep 20, 2014 1:55 am

Hi, im having trouble with extrusion, its just stops extruding , i can see the gear moving but its not pushing plastic i have to push it so it can extrude.I don't know if clogging is the problem because i can see plastic extruding when the hot end is at operating temperature.

You may have a clog. Can you force it to extrude by shoving the filament through when the nozzle is hot and dismounted from the gear? That might fix it. Otherwise, there are a number of different rituals you can try. Start here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=162
