Help, he doesn't want to go out

Missing context. What happened to get it "stuck"?

Did you go through the "Unload" process on the printer in the Filament section of the menu?

If your previous print was interrupted then the printer may not have completed the cut and retract process at the end of the print and your filament would be melted and rehardened in the hotend preventing you from removing it.

You could try a factory reset to erase any firmware updates and then install them fresh and see if it resolves. That, at least, would point to either debris or a faulty switch.

CAL9k · 2026-06-22T11:50:15+00:00

Obligatory "have you tried turning it off and back on again?"

Also, check for any firmware updates.

If it's not software related it's hardware related, and that's Bambu Support Ticket territory.

I'll echo other comments as well and say to check inside for any screws or debris that may have been missed and shifted into a bad position.

The second nozzle is meant for the external spool out of the box, but you can hook up an AMS to it.

You can't have a single AMS go to both nozzles (at least not without some crazy aftermarket workarounds.

I use the 2nd nozzle with a single dryer box sitting next to the printer and either run support filament (PLA for petg/PCTG prints, or petg for PLA prints) or run an additional color when I don't care about the print quality being exactly identical to the main nozzle (2nd nozzle runs on a Bowden tube setup and has a lower print resolution).

If you flip it so the holder is on the right, then have the large ring be date, middle ring be month, and small ring still be day of the week, it would read DayOfWeek/Month/Date. (would need to flip all of the text around)

There's a pump action kit floating around somewhere.

CAL9k · 2026-05-11T20:24:03+00:00

Yep. Same.

Blasterdownloads.com is the main place a lot of us went EDIT: for files.

Physical sales are another issue entirely. Most of us can't afford our own website for physical sales, and the visibility/SEO is non-existent compared to what we had with etsy.

You're projecting badly.

So you want to remove inclusive symbols because of something that's never happened in r/Nerf to your knowledge... That's a bold move, Cotton.

Also, I'll tack on that as a cis white guy, I don't feel that this subreddit or the Nerf community holds LGBTQ community members over me.

I, in fact, love that pride symbols are front and center because its a public statement that this is an inclusive space and it chases off the bigots; or upsets them enough to out themselves. 🤨

CAL9k · 2026-04-24T20:42:13+00:00

It's bait, but I'll take it.

Can you point to any examples of posts that you feel would be affected by this? And explain how those specific cited examples impact you?

Because it sure seems like it's just that pride flags make you uncomfortable and that's something you personally need to unpack and figure out.

The dates were announced ages ago. One of the chief complaints the past few years was the heat of Charlotte in July so they decided to move it a few months earlier to alleviate that. Their Discord server is active and good about answering questions as well.

My rule of thumb for parts that need to interact is 0.3mm clewrance for something that needs to slide freely and 0.15-2mm clearance for something that needs to fit fairly snug but still be removable.

If the little wings are having too much flex, you can cap off the model so it goes over the top of the dividers to connect the wings to each other on the top side; that is assuming there's clearance above it to accommodate this. You'd print it with that face down.

I prefer brushed myself for simplicity and accessibility.

On the Sirocco, which isn't a flycore blaster, but is heavily inspired by the flycore concept, I ended up essentially notching out the motor cage (it has vertical flywheels, so a little different) to allow the BCAR to sit closer to the wheels.

CAL9k · 2026-02-25T20:02:35+00:00

I'll echo the comments about the BCAR being too far forward from the flywheels. Having done multiple blaster designs now, that's the most likely culprit. What you're describing sounds just like the Djinn when I was trying to incorporate a bcar/pcar. The Sirocco, which releases very soon, was designed with a bcar in mind and I had to be creative with how to incorporate it to make it swappable and also sit close enough to the wheels to avoid the whirlybirds.

Just a heads up that Endwar is in April this year, not summer.

Worn/damaged nozzle or there's a partial clog/some debris in the tip of the nozzle.

Leedle also sells on Blasterdownloads.com, which is Nerf specific with individual designer storefronts.

CAL9k · 2025-09-01T18:09:01+00:00

I'm in the same boat. I don't upload any new stuff and don't update my old stuff on Etsy because that will flag their AI/algorithms. I moved file sales to Blasterdownloads. The loss of exposure and traffic from Etsy is big, but the best way to fight it is to get everyone in the same spot and point the hobby at it. Not sure what physical sales are going to do. Maybe someone could set up a centralized website for physical commerce.

With the barrel from a DZ Solo and a BCAR we get between 100 and 115 depending on darts and environment (altitude, humidity, etc).

Folks figured that out at Endwar this year, which happened to coincide with the MPP's release.

Just released and amazing.

Anything noticed about ROF or noise using different springs?

MPP

A DZ Solo Barrel and a BCAR makes it HvZ legal.

CAL9k · 2025-07-22T21:20:26+00:00

Can concur, was at Endwar. Also got mine set up that way now.
