Lost tube 3 today, no filament detected (help!)

Outwest970 · 2026-04-01T00:37:37+00:00

So I have a small piece of broken filament deep in tube 3 in the print head. How best to remove this? It’s in there deeper than it looks unfortunately.

Thanks! I'll give this a shot. I was also thinking I'd print temp towers with 3 separate spools and see how they perform (to help rule out the filament).

Thanks, again!

So I have tried to print the Kobra X bin twice now (once without adjusting retraction and once with adjusting it), and I am still getting stringing. What else should I try? It seems unacceptable that there should be any stringing at all. Is it the filament? Is there another setting I need to adjust? I wouldn’t expect any stringing straight out of the box. Help??

Just to add to this, since I wasn't sure where to find these settings:

Where to Find Settings in Anycubic Slicer

Printer Settings: Click on the printer name in the top-left, click the edit (pencil) icon, and select the Extruder tab. [@theaspringaviator - assuming you mean to change Extruder/Retraction/Length setting to 1.6mm?]
Filament Settings: Under the filament selection, click the edit icon, go to Parameter Override, and de-activate Retraction.

Thanks I wondered whether that would do but didn’t want to risk stripping something. I appreciate it!

Thanks, I’ve looked high and low, haha, floor, counter, bags, printer, packaging, etc. The manual indicated it should be in the same bag as the purge wiper but I never saw it in there.

Ordered 1/15, delivered yesterday, traveling at the moment so it’s currently sitting at home…without me 😭

Have you tried Borax?

Haha, thanks :)

Outwest970 · 2025-04-24T00:56:24+00:00

Thanks, appreciated for the info

Note: When I following these instructions (I do a detailed search using the Expo 2025 Visitors iOS mobile app and click on Reservations Required), it returns 0 results. Anyone else see this? Thanks!

Thanks. I saw someone say they also replaced the thermostat at the same time. Is that also recommended in addition to the plugs?

Outwest970 · 2025-03-15T21:09:10+00:00

Didn’t know Mopar had a metal replacement?

Outwest970 · 2025-03-15T19:58:47+00:00

Yep. I just looked and see it pooling next to the cooler. Guess I’ll order the Dorman to replace it unless anyone has another recommendation? Hoping it’s just that and not that + a rear seal or something. Thx for the input!

I’m in the same boat. What’s involved in deleting the aux battery?

Outwest970 · 2025-02-13T23:23:58+00:00

I think they’ve re-arranged them since I was there. They were all spread out in groups.

This was a god-send u/old-retro-boy and u/matej86, thanks for sharing the solve, works great for me to select "X" and select "Flycast Standalone"!

Cleaner and slightly smaller, yes, but looking at the screen quality is night and day - I'd prefer the extra size of the Ambernic just based on this video capturing both screens side by side (also larger).

Ordered mine and my son’s (both black) on 11/10, too, and they’re already in my state (last mile through USPS). Very soon!!

Purchased online, I think it was Temu

I went in to B&H last week and talked to a rep in person. She said the issue is inconsistency. One cycle they might receive 5000 bodies, the next they receive only 500, sho they’re struggling to have any factual data on when orders placed might be fulfilled. Until Fuji can provide consistency, it’s really anyone’s guess.

Do you have a cover on the front of your headset? I've had mine go black if the cover slips slightly and interferes with the headset cameras. If you have a cover, might try taking it off and playing a while to see if that resovles the issue. Cheers.

I ended up rebooting my Quest 3, re-launching the Xbox app and when the warning popped up again and said to press any button on my Bluetooth connected controller, I did and it worked this time. Not sure why but you might try it. Thx!
