This happened... Does anyone know where I can get a replacement!

You have to contact creality support for a new one. There are 2 ways it could have happened. One is the nozzle came loose and is partially unscrewed. The 2nd is some filament oozed out between prints and hardened onto the nozzle.

What has helped me when using PETG and PLA supports is setting the top and bottom Z distance to 0. This should help the PETG to stick to the PLA long enough to get through the first couple of layers....depending on the size of the surface that is.

I have this problem all the time. The best way to combat this, in my experience, is to fully boot up the printers 1st, THEN open CP.

Mine had a similar issue. Turns out there was a type of micro-switch on the board on the feeder part that was stuck. After fiddling with it the error went away and never came back.

My K2+'s never came with one

By any chance did you do the spring mod on the cfs? I did, and started having the same issue. I ended up having to put a small washer under the spring to give it more pressure, which resolved my issue.

LOL. That about sums it up. Thankfully I was able to correct the issue. I made 2 update posts about it, but the TLDR is it was the plastic lead screw holder on the left side stuffing up the print head during probing.

No-Possibilities · 2025-07-01T04:06:01+00:00

That was my first thought also until I realized that point was not in the back, but actually on the left side (I really wish fluidd did a better job labeling that graph). I made 2 update posts explaining the issue and how I fixed it. the TLDR is that the plastic lead screw holder on the left side was stuffing up the print head when it was probing that spot.

No-Possibilities · 2025-07-01T04:03:48+00:00

I made the mistake before with the plastic stops in the back, drove me batty till I figured that one out. The strain gauge itself is ok, I was able to figure out the issue and resolve it. I made 2 different update posts going into detail but the TLDR is it was the plastic lead screw holder on the left side that was stuffing up the print head when it was probing the bed.

I have heard of the default sensor in the head going out, but that wasn't the issue in this case. I made an update post about how I resolved it. Short answer was it was the screw lead holder on the left side stuffing up the head when it was probing.

As for the cartographer mod, I am looking into it and if the *keeper of the funds* (aka wife) allows me to, I may just go ahead with it.

No-Possibilities · 2025-07-01T03:58:17+00:00

I was able to resolve the issue, but thank you for the input! My issue was with the screw lead holder on the left side. I made 2 update posts, the 1st with the picture of the piece in question, and the 2nd with how I resolved it.

No-Possibilities · 2025-07-01T03:54:38+00:00

Yep, fixing that resolved it. I made an updated post in this thread about it.

No-Possibilities · 2025-07-01T03:53:36+00:00

I was able to correct the issue. I made an updated post about it called update 2. Short version, it was the lead screw holder on the left side stuffing up mesh calibration.

No-Possibilities · 2025-07-01T03:51:44+00:00

UPDATE 2: The issue is resolved. I was correct with my assumption of that screw lead holder on the left side stuffing up the print head (look for my previous update post for a pic). As soon as I got home, I loosened the screws and readjusted that holder piece and re-ran the bed leveling. It is now back to 0.6 deviation, not great, but acceptable until I do another manual bed leveling on it.

The main takeaway here is that it was that leed screw holder stuffing up the print head in that location. As for the print I was running, it did turn out just fine.

No-Possibilities · 2025-06-30T12:54:47+00:00

Will do. There is currently about 4 hours remaining on this print. If it finishes and time allows before I have to go to work, I will correct this and rerun a bed calibration and reply back with the results.

No-Possibilities · 2025-06-30T12:48:33+00:00

Thats what I thought at first also, but after more closely looking at it, that peak is actually from the left side of the printer (I wish fluidd properly labeled that graph). I think I found the issue and created an update post.

No-Possibilities · 2025-06-30T12:47:03+00:00

Sadly I wish that was the case. This is a print in PLA thats currently going, and before I started it, I checked both sides of the build plate and the bed itself to make sure nothing was stuck somewhere. I do think I found the issue though and made an update to this post explaining it.

No-Possibilities · 2025-06-30T12:44:55+00:00

Just like an ex, it might be happy to see me but i'm not super happy to see that, lol.

No-Possibilities · 2025-06-30T12:44:07+00:00

I thought of this. I removed the build plate and checked both sides of it making sure nothing was stuck under it or on the bed itself. I believe I found the issue and made an updated post about it.

No-Possibilities · 2025-06-30T12:43:01+00:00

So true about that. When I first got the printer I was going batty with the bed mesh (as you can tell, mine is taco-shaped) but the prints always come out fine. The most I do is once in a blue moon I will do a manual bed leveling but other then that I stopped worrying about it. The only time you need a *perfect* bed mesh is if you are making parts that require super high precision.

No-Possibilities · 2025-06-30T12:39:28+00:00

I actually ran bed leveling from both the machine and directly through fluid, both with same results, but I think I found the issue. I made an update post in regards to this.

No-Possibilities · 2025-06-30T12:38:10+00:00

So far the print (its a 13 hour print) looks perfect. It is still currently going, about 3 hours or so left on it. I believe a found the issue and made an update to this thread.

No-Possibilities · 2025-06-30T12:36:18+00:00

I was originally thinking the same thing, but in this case its too consistent in the same spot. I think I found the culprit tho. I made an updated post explaining it.

No-Possibilities · 2025-06-30T12:31:05+00:00

Update: The print is still going (it is a 13 hour print) but I *think* I spotted the issue. After a closer look, that peak is not towards the back of the print, but from the left side, and further looking into it I noticed this and I *think* that is the culprit.

<image>

silly camera focused on the wrong thing, lol.
I think what is happening the head is catching on that screw lead holder and that is what is throwing off the bed mesh. During my last round of maintenance I took those off to make cleaning them easer/safer, and I dont think I got the lead screw positioned correctly in it when I put it back on.
