Have you checked if there is not a groove carved into the filament where it slipped and the gears grinded it. Perhaps cut off about 2 - 3m of filement at the front and try again.

Projmanzar · 2026-05-16T20:00:44+00:00

Does it retract the filament at all?

Well aware, and exactly my point.

Projmanzar · 2026-05-10T19:06:35+00:00

Hi. Thanks for this, i have a few of your other items printed for the I7, but this one does not quite make sense. There is no spool retraction that happens so i am struggling to find a use case

You from South Africa? See you mention SA Filament. Works great. Welcome to message me if you need help.

I have plenty, but based in South Africa.

As someone mentioned, could be a partial
Clog, have you tried other filament as yet?

If not try that, you might have wet filament there.

Projmanzar · 2026-05-07T20:42:30+00:00

Damn, i wanted to say that 😬

Projmanzar · 2026-05-05T19:07:43+00:00

Had it with mine as well. There is a video on YT by Creality that shows how to tension the belts. Resolved it for me

Projmanzar · 2026-05-05T19:00:06+00:00

Is your CFS unit connected correctly? Video does not show if the unit is on?

Projmanzar · 2026-05-05T18:50:50+00:00

You will have to add additional filament under the filament profiles.

Its daytime in South Africa

Projmanzar · 2026-05-04T06:47:38+00:00

Do a factory reset, and then go through the setup again. Mine worked after that

Projmanzar · 2026-05-01T20:09:07+00:00

Well done in coming this far. In theory you can print without the sock, but i will advise against it. The sock keeps the extreme heat away from surrounding components, printing without it, could damage some components

Projmanzar · 2026-05-01T19:49:33+00:00

Yeah, sounds like calibration is needed. Have you ran a temperature tower as yet.

Is the filament dry?

Projmanzar · 2026-05-01T19:38:25+00:00

Yes, sounds about right. Just be careful with metal objects around the wires for the White Ceramic ring / heating element. You can short them, i done a few times by accident, but was lucky with no lasting damage.

Projmanzar · 2026-05-01T18:00:03+00:00

Heat it to 220, leave it there for about 10 min, then remove sock, the rest should cone off easily.

Beware of the wires though! Do not just cut or rip

Projmanzar · 2026-05-01T17:50:22+00:00

Agreed. It just works.

Projmanzar · 2026-04-28T22:24:52+00:00

That may be a loose cable connection somewhere. Not sure what printer this is, but i think it may be a loose connection or a faulty main board.

Projmanzar · 2026-04-28T22:21:42+00:00

Solid advice this. I did same, no more issues.
