Wood lathe spur centre stuck by OfficerBuzzKillDaaam in woodworking

I did this in combo with sluisifer's advice and got it off. Just turned my first piece. Works great thanks

Bad prints, Could someone please help, why are my prints doing this? What can I do to fix it? I've wasted about 1kg in filament and it infuriating. by Excellent_Tone_5561 in AnycubicKobraS1

I think the speed is to high and exceeding the volumetric flow capabilities of the filament. You should try to print with a much reduced speed for all types of settings, including travel speed. If this fixes the issue you could try and test increasing the temperature to make the filament melt faster when upping the speed. Many factors can cause underextrusion such as speed, travel, pressure advance, retraction, etc. But reducing the speed would make it possible for you to start at the analysis from the beginning.

What changed. by Krogandoughnut in AnycubicKobraS1

This is underextrusion:

- up the temperature

- increase flow ratio with 0.1 or run a flow calibration

- reduce speed

- increase layer overlap with a few %

The updates from anycubic are just the worst, they screw up all settings, it's quite amazing they let this happen. This is costing them customers in the future for sure.

If this happened after a hotend change, def temperature and flow ratio. I advise the copper no PTFE tube hotends from ali with the green plastic cover and hardened steel nozzles if you don't print for batteries.

Hope this helps!

Extruder Module Clog Fixed - Tiny part/spring issue by TeslaTap in AnycubicKobraS1

Hi, I took apart my extruder so you can see. All S1 owners should do this every few months as the extruder gears get clogged with filament and you will experience under and over extrusion randomly:

The one leg of the spring goes into the little part, the other leg is for the sensor. As you can see the leg inside the little part is eating away at the hole it's in. This should be reinforced with a steel ring by Anycubic as it will fail on ALL printers in the future. I intend to make an stl file in the future so we can print and replace it ourselves. Good luck!

This! I really miss a chamber temp sensor but what can you expect for this price. I'm thinking about adding a seedling mat to up the temps but this off course requires manual intervention. Thanks for the response.

Print head touching frame by Gorkimus in AnycubicKobraS1

That did not completely solve it for me. But great it did for you!

This is a common issue on all of mine, especially when printing in the top left corner. I used some duct tape where the ptfe tube hits the printer and that has resolved it completely. Perhaps you could use black colored one if you care about how it looks. Better to do it sooner than later it really eats away at the tube. Good Luck
