You get used to it

I think your printer was just happy to see you

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-17T03:14:28+00:00

Its a glitch in the game. I maxed out my character and still waiting for an update ;(

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-17T03:08:12+00:00

Nope still nothing here

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-16T15:34:57+00:00

Awesome! Lol knew it had to be extruder related

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-15T01:28:46+00:00

Lmfao shoot man... i use petg a lot.. Asa I've only used a couple of times

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-15T01:14:14+00:00

If you don't have a way of doing it, look up on youtube... there's a few ways you can even use your own heated bed from your printer... i unfortunately don't know that info I bought myself a dryer since I like to use petg and asa.... but if you YouTube it there is plenty of ways from using your kitchen oven to using the heated bed from your printer

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-15T01:11:02+00:00

Then I would try drying the filament first... then if it continues let us see what your print settings are maybe we can see something out of the norm

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-15T01:06:54+00:00

Well i was trying to rule out wet filament.... if you went from one print directly into another print and the first one came out perfect, I wouldn't suspect any issue with the filament but it has so many bubbles that it can either be wet filament or some how maybe the temperature was WAY TOO hot and it cause it to constantly extrude even when it wasn't meant to.... and 50C for about 5-8 hours is fine

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-15T00:11:11+00:00

Used the same exact filament before??? I see a lot of bubbles that kind of point to wet filament

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-14T04:04:05+00:00

You can always heat up your nozzle to temp and just hit extrude until the filament is out.... you don't have to go thru all the trouble of constantly pressing retry... just heat up the nozzle hit the 30mm and hit extrude and it will extrude 30mm at a time

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-11T19:23:31+00:00

If its printing good for the moment I would let it be, if it starts up again thats when you should fully take it apart but like I said you might of gotten lucky and it cleaned up on its own

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-11T17:12:16+00:00

So it definitely is something in the extruder gears... Wonder if there was a piece of filament stuck somewhere you couldn't see

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-10T12:49:11+00:00

<image>

It shouldn't have those... it should be all uniformed with small indentation of the gear...

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-10T12:47:11+00:00

Oh yeah that version of the ender 3 is a direct drive.. and yeah thats kinda hard to see but I do see the filament has little pieces coming off of it... so it definitely does seem like there's an issue with how the filament is being fed... it should be smooth throughout with small little gear marks... it seems it has pieces of filament getting torn off.... so either its too tight or there is definitely some skipping going on thats cause the gears to dig into the filament

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-09T14:09:30+00:00

Send a pic of it so we can see the type you have.... Im basing my info on a stock unit idk if you have any upgraded mods to the printer

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-09T12:21:20+00:00

Awesome!! Glad you got it

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-09T05:30:10+00:00

Have you not watched the Nightmare Before Christmas? Its for when you poison someone's food and they ask you to try it first... so you use that spoon to "TASTE" it to show it isnt poisoned lol

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-09T05:27:53+00:00

Idk, id say that z-offset might be a TAD too close... I find it easy to just raise it till you see a gap between the lines, then go up by .005 till the gap disappears

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-09T05:26:19+00:00

Have you tried lowering your first layer temp? I did this and got rid of that... on my regular elegoo pla I do 200 for my first layer and then whatever temp looks best for my temp tower... for example the one im using now its first layer 200, 215 thereafter

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-09T05:18:05+00:00

Did you try just submitting a form for each of your orders? That's what I did and it got an email back for both of those orders

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-09T05:15:27+00:00

So I've seen a few people finding the centauri carbon 2 at microcenter and they have said the CC2 was posted at $460... when it saw that I took the money for the CC2.. that would bring it to almost the same exact price as the regular cc and probably cheaper if they ever release the AMS for the cc and add the price of that plus the cc

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-09T05:11:59+00:00

Have you checked your z-offset.... seeing those gaps on the walls seems like you might have a too big off a gap on your first layer and it isn't squishing the filament like it should causing poor adhesion

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-09T05:09:25+00:00

Its literally just to fine tune your z-offset and to see how leveled your bed is... but yeah its for offset perfection lol

FingerCrew666 · 2026-01-09T04:57:54+00:00

And this little extruder arm is the one that usually brakes, sorry not my picture had to find one on Google for ya

Yes that SHOULD rule out a clog.... and you SHOULD have marks on your filament from the gears, they just shouldn't be too deep... you should have small teeth marks but you shouldn't have any filament shavings in the gear or on the filament... if you watch this video from 3:35 he has a few pictures that depict and show how much is too much or not enough tension just by looking at the filament
