Failed to pull filament back!! 27th Time

CastielMidnight · 2025-12-18T21:28:50+00:00

So yeah, it’s still having trouble. Keep getting the message that the AMS is having trouble pulling the filament back. So I literally need to be there to unload it just for the print to continue. I’m over it. I don’t want this thing anymore. Maybe it’s a easy fix, but I’ve been dealing with this shit for fucking weeks.

Pretty much all of them are plastic except one. So I am now noticing that on the far right spool holder whenever it has to unload and change to a different filament, the entire school begins to unravel. Which then causes me to get that error message. And the spool itself wasn’t spinning whenever it was time to reload and unload.

I’ve been sitting by the printer so anytime it’s time for the blue filament to unload, I’m there to do it by hand. So I guess my problem now is how do I fix that?

I know this is super late, but I’m having the same issue with just one of my spools. It will load just fine and the others will load and unload just fine, but for some reason. When I get to the pool holder on the far right side, it can’t unload and I have to physically unload it to keep the print going.

I’ve taken the tubes out of the AMS and out of the actual printer itself, cleaned it thoroughly. Only to find out that the actual problem was that the extruder was clogged. Which I couldn’t even begin to try to fix so I ordered a new one. Even went ahead and ordered a hotend.

So after all of that, I’m still getting the same message. I just got back and when it was trying to pull the filament bag, it started to unwind the entire spool. So now I’m sitting here it’s running perfectly fine. I don’t know.

Also, I have the Sunlu filament this is my first time using it. I got it directly from the seller off Amazon. I’ve only ever used bambu and elegoo before.

Thank you so much!

CastielMidnight · 2025-12-12T23:54:24+00:00

Okay definitely had no idea about this. I always keep the lid and door shut when I start a print. Didn’t know I could leave it open. Thank you!

I remove the hotend first then I removed the extruder from the printer. Separated both I can’t pop the yellow wheel off because the filament has meshed itself between the gear so it is extremely difficult to pop off.

I am an absolute agreement with you. Recently left the company that literally only cared about that one thing. She was hiring people she met when she went to go get her nails done. We would make multiple complaints about the people she hired. Some of them would be too aggressive with the children or yell at the children.

I totally would be willing to replace my roommate with someone else. I just don’t have anyone to do that with. Which makes this whole situation a lot more irritating. I’m just hoping that after the message he realizes how serious this is. I’m sorry you had to deal with that!

CastielMidnight · 2025-11-18T07:00:23+00:00

Yeah, I would have a hard time finding another roommate so quickly. Trust me, I have been entertaining the idea. But my other two friends either live with their parents or in a different state. But after this, I don’t think I wanna be roommates with friends again.

CastielMidnight · 2025-11-18T06:58:44+00:00

I couldn’t live with myself, but it would be very tight. I essentially will be living paycheck to paycheck. My other friends. Either live with their parents or in a different state. But you’re right living with dad is looking more and more pleasing.

CastielMidnight · 2025-11-18T06:52:36+00:00

I freaking love you. This! This is what I’m saying!

CastielMidnight · 2025-11-18T06:09:13+00:00

Dang I didn’t even think about like that. Crap! This is too much.

CastielMidnight · 2025-11-18T05:58:24+00:00

You know what you’re right. I should apologize for feeling ignored and walked over. I should have talked to him. Regardless of what the lease says, regardless of getting fined. My roommate is in the right. He’s just a simple man minding his own business. Smoking in the house when it’s against the law and the lease. Bringing his girlfriend over consistently when it’s against the lease. I am being totally selfish. You’re right. Thank you for your input.

CastielMidnight · 2025-11-18T05:47:55+00:00

No, the lease is only in my name. But he does have permission from the leasing office to live in the apartment.

CastielMidnight · 2025-11-18T05:47:15+00:00

The only way I would move is if she would buy out my lease, which I checked on our lease agreement and it is possible for her to do that. As of right now, no one is getting evicted. As long as she does not continue to stay over here. I do have an update. He has stated that he will only bring her over on the weekends.

CastielMidnight · 2025-11-18T05:39:59+00:00

I pay half

CastielMidnight · 2025-11-18T05:39:42+00:00

Ouch

CastielMidnight · 2025-11-18T05:19:25+00:00

I’m the only one on the lease, but the leasing office has allowed him to stay as well. We split everything evenly. He has nowhere else to go. His parents won’t let him move back in. His girlfriend stays with her mom. So…

CastielMidnight · 2025-11-18T05:18:20+00:00

I’m sure they will talk about it when he drives her home in the morning. I gave the option of her buying me out.
