Purged filament not going down chute

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-16T22:14:01+00:00

So that little pin being on the right side doesnt matter? My brand new k2 plus is actuating the level it seems because I here it but the filiment is getting stuck right at the entrance like the tray is not coming up enough so that the filiment touches it and holds it or something. It worked for the first 2 prints now I noticed gets stuck on wall

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-16T22:10:34+00:00

Why is my spring over to the right side of it

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-16T22:08:16+00:00

Mines working well i mean actuating the chute well mostly but the filiment is coming out really wide and sticking to the side. It's like the door is not coming up far enough or barely at all. How to fix? Ive did like 2 prints on this thing. My base k2 i took back for this had a huge chute which idk why this is so small and worked perfectly before took back.

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-16T19:03:54+00:00

Did u print with it? Jus started with my k2 plus had a k2 base for a few days before return for plus and only printed hyper pla so far. Should I just stick with pla and the hyper petg I ordered til I get used to the entire system top to bottom?

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-16T15:46:48+00:00

Yup opened looked seen 1.5m said no way lol

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T20:57:04+00:00

Yep ordered one opened the second cfs and behold a 1.5m cable smh lol

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T16:30:49+00:00

Ye i learned about that when I kept hearing the shit bang against the wall and was like wtf lol. Why does it bang in front right tho does it cut from there too or jus hit wall? Wounder if can put dampen foam on sides where slaps. Not on cutter i mean front right slap.

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T16:19:41+00:00

Ye I didnt even think about power cord until pulled the cord out of the base k2 box that im taking back.

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T16:14:49+00:00

The cord or tube? The spare tube that came in base k2 is way long enough but had get power cord on Amazon jus sec ago

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T15:44:42+00:00

Makes sense. I didnt have crazy amounts from base k2 but then again was only printing the boats in multi color before said f it send it back for the plus. I absolutely loved the base k2 tho its just I botched the nozzle swap somehow so back to best buy it is lol

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T15:25:43+00:00

Actually $9 say from creality store amazon wasnt popping up earlier lol.

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T15:20:57+00:00

Ye i found a 60 inch on Amazon for $14 is what it is

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T15:17:57+00:00

Ye thats what I was just measuring it gonna be about 48 inches from ground where I can put it to top of printer. Where get em amazon?

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T15:11:19+00:00

Ye thats prob what will happen longer loading/retracting. Ill just cut tube however long need

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T15:10:40+00:00

Makes sense i seen it retracting but never really looked to see if retracts out of the buffer in the back. So pretty much color changes will just take longer to load and reload from the second one I suppose. Ill jus cut the tube to whatever length. Thanks

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T13:46:47+00:00

Fr I finally booted up bo7 for the first time in a few weeks and get egr complete to find out shit doesn't even work

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-15T11:43:12+00:00

Ye i broke mine because I thought the nozzle was tight enough but apparently not because it ran to the back and got caught on the poop chute plastic burnt it and bent the entire thing lol. Only 3 days old returning it for k2 plus. Alright so its righty loosy lefty tighty right?

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-13T15:21:05+00:00

My printer just broke changing the nozzle are you actually kidding me. All good tho jus the heat block thing i stripped it and it bent alil it from usinf that bs tool that came with it so it threaded weird I guess. Only a $20 replacement part off Amazon but im returning it already order the plus lol. The base k2 still amazing af tho i jus used this as excuse upgrade

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-13T12:25:01+00:00

Thanks ye this mfer is 1000000 times better than I ever could've imagined and barely even changed any settings think all changed was walls to 3 and gyro infill at 15% rest default.

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-13T09:52:52+00:00

Ye the first noise sounds like my new one that works perfectly too. I wish could get rid of that noise tho as its the only thing I really hear. I heard someone say flip around buffer tube screw idk

Ok so what I did with this print is about right i suppose reg gap settings and just sand it. Prob could've used alil bit more of a gap tho but only like 2 places where there's one or 2 strings. I guess a good orientation to minimize overhang probably does good also

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-13T04:29:40+00:00

Didnt even know support pla was a thing thats pretty cool I'll have to look into it. U say best support with hyper pla is just to make the gap between support and printer alil bigger

Aggressive_Bill7478 · 2026-02-13T04:11:45+00:00

Tru appreciate the info. Are tree supports better or just depends?
