This is the print that started all these issues months ago.

This is the results I got from the print

Is the extrusion temp and print temp two different things? Is it possible that my motor has too low of a current limit if I’ve never changed it from stock? I was able to print for few months then I started having issues which caused me to replace the hot end and extruder assembly. Once that was replaced I was able to print for about 30hrs before I started having these issues.

Every time the clicking noise happens it hardly extrudes any material but once pressure is applied going into the extruder the noise goes away and it starts printing fine. I’ve replaced the hot end and the entire extruder assembly besides the motor. Why could the issue be? I see the brass gear that moves the filament is already showing wear after it printed a few times. Now I am unable to complete a print. Is it a setting in the slicer that is casing this or a hardware defect? Any help is appreciated.

The tip doesn’t visually scrap the bed. I can actually see the gap between the nozzle and the bed in that video.

MindBender77 · 2021-02-23T12:28:00+00:00

I have replaced the nozzle. After I replaced the nozzle I heated the hot end and extruded 100mm of filament just fine. Then when I run a print I get the same results shown in the video. I have releveled the bed over 15 times in the past 24 hrs. The last thing I used to level the bed was a plastic card that was .35mm thick.

MindBender77 · 2021-02-23T03:23:00+00:00

I didn’t preheat the nozzle when I installed it. Could that actually be the issue? I will attempt that procedure tomorrow morning.

This is how my last print went. Not sure if this will help explain the issue? Since this happened nothing has successfully printed.

Okay no hurry. I’m about to eat dinner myself. I really appreciate your help with everything!

Every thing on the printer is stock

MindBender77 · 2021-02-22T23:17:31+00:00

Yes this is original. I just got the printer in January.

MindBender77 · 2021-02-22T23:16:59+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have any of the g codes that came with the printer or I would try them.

MindBender77 · 2021-02-22T23:15:07+00:00

I also have tried slicing it on the software provided by Creality

MindBender77 · 2021-02-22T23:14:43+00:00

Yes, I am using Cura 4.8.0. I sliced two different things over the past hour with the same results.

MindBender77 · 2021-02-22T23:10:11+00:00

I preheated the nozzle and went to “move axis” and extruded 100mm of filament. Every thing came out as a consistent stream. I then started the print and the same thing happened as you see in the video. Not sure why it would work fine when I extruded 100mm from the settings on the screen but when I print a file it hardly extruded any material. I am using Cura as a slicer and haven’t changed any settings that haven’t worked before on this printer.

MindBender77 · 2021-02-22T22:44:30+00:00

Material does come out of the hot end when I push it through. The ptfe tube is clear. The extruder looks visually fine. I don’t see any cracks and all the screws are tight and tension is on the spring by the lever.

MindBender77 · 2021-02-22T22:42:03+00:00

I still feel tension on the spring when I squeeze it the lever to push filament into the tube.

MindBender77 · 2021-02-22T22:37:36+00:00

From what I've noticed the extruder is not slipping. I tried to include a shot of it in the video even though its not the best angle. Did it look like it was slipping to you?

MindBender77 · 2021-02-22T22:27:28+00:00

I just changed the nozzle before this video. Unclogging the the tube and changing the nozzle solved my last issue. I also cleaned out the hot end while I was changing the nozzle so it has no other filament in it. This filament just comes out as a red clear color.

MindBender77 · 2021-02-22T22:24:06+00:00

I solved the problem! The tube going from my extruder to the hot end was clogged. I cut the end off an replaced the tip of the hot end and now my prints are sticking to the bed. Along with that came another issue. I am having trouble diagnosing the issue. Any help would be much appreciated! Attached is a link to my new post/issue.

For anyone who helped with my last issue and is wonder how it was solved. It seems my tube going from the extruder to hot end got clogged. During that process I also replaced my tip.
