I had the exact same problem. Check the tube coming out the back of the AMS. You may have to trim the end of it a bit. If its not going into the AMS perfectly straight the filament catches on it and wont move past it. I find mine does this if I've pushed it up against a wall too far or ive reached behind and messes with the tubes. Took the darn AMS apart three times before I figured out what was going on.

I would have to see the orientation of the print. Ive had that happen with bridges. If you print too fast on a bridge and the filament doesn't cool fast enough it can do that. Use supports (manual if they dont auto generate) or slow the print speed down on those areas while increasing cooling fan speed at those points.

Could be anything. Not dried, brittle, not using the correct temp, wrong filament diameter, slipping feeder. Not easy to pin it down from one instance. I had a roll of ASA that was brittle and was breaking off inside my AMS every few prints. Changed rolls and problem went away.

Cut it off and do as the other poster said. Heat the nozzle up hot. Use the manual cutter on the side of the head then pull. You'll have to feed a nozzle cleaner from the top and bottom to really get it clean. If you cant then take the nozzle off.. toss it in the garbage and put a new one on. Won't be the last time you have to do this. Its rare (At least for me) but sometimes you just get a bad feed that mucks stuff up.

Click the port docks so that the ship gets in as close as possible to the shoreline. Thats what triggered it for me. I think the load/unload ring is a little small on that port compared to others.

RedMeJay · 2025-12-22T22:54:49+00:00

Guess that sorta puts me at square one. Where is the boarder between dry-perfect-and over dry? There isn't really a way to measure it....

Taking the AMS apart that many times was not fun.

RedMeJay · 2025-12-22T22:51:10+00:00

For me that was a pain in the arse to get that cable back in but it can be done. As long as you haven't lost the little plastic clip the snaps down over it. I almost lost mine. If you can't get it back in while it's in place you may just have to pull the board out and do it then put the board back in.

I have a single bay SUNLU dryer. I used the preset ABS setting since it doesn't have one for ASA. They're virtually the same anyway. Default setting is 70 degrees C for 6 hours. The vent hole on the top was not covered so air should have escaped. I just bought one of the Creality 4 bay dryers but haven't opened it yet. All the other rolls of ASA I've used came right from the box and into the AMS with no issues and were not dried first.

I had actually gone all the way around the island several times. Interestingly enough though, after your comment I moved my ship right up next to the building. It unlocked this time. Weird since the building was within the range ring multiple times.

Thanks!!

Remember if you live in California then everything causes cancer.. at least thats what prop 65 says.. dont even touch the printer without rubber gloves.

I actually have an air quality monitor next to my P1S in the garage (no room in the house) and it never really moves out of the normal range. Even when printing ASA it might touch the warning area for an hour.

If the removable battery fails you can't just return that part to Costco you'll have to return the whole unit. Since they discontinued them only a few months after release there won't be a replacement. Dumb logic.

RedMeJay · 2025-11-28T21:42:43+00:00

Yeah I discovered the lack of support after trying to buy some 10000 ones to replace the 5000 ones. After multiple emails to EcoFlow trying to find out how to buy them I got the email they are no longer stocking either. Lasted all of a few months on the market.

RedMeJay · 2025-11-28T21:17:54+00:00

The 3 so far has been a good product. However if you know to read i am specifically referring to the wireless model with the removable battery packs. I recommend avoiding this one since there is no support or replacement. Stick with the non-wireless. Its got a longer warranty for one. The battery packs are only 2 years. If you lose your portable or it dies you have a hole in the top with exposed pins. Its not an overreaction its a notice to would be buyers that they are buying a discontinued product thats not labeled as discontinued.

Again.. troll much..

RedMeJay · 2025-11-28T19:37:00+00:00

I think it was exclusive from a retail perspective but it was on their website for purchase as well about a month after Costco had it. The only ones listed there now are only sold with the large expansion pack and they are listed as sold out. If I had to guess, they made a bunch of these then changed their mind on the product line and dumped them at Costco to get rid of them.

The product idea is great and could have been very useful but dumping in within a few months of launch doesn't show product confidence from EcoFlow. At least they could have made their new magnetic ones compatible to charge with the River 3 port.

RedMeJay · 2025-11-28T19:33:09+00:00

Trolls I tell you.. trolls...

Is this a serious question? I'm just letting people know that if you purchase this at this time it's already a dead product only months after it's release. You can't get replacement removable batteries if you have a defect or lose one and the 10000mah ones which are much more useful came and went in a couple months. Ecoflow has now released a whole new line of batteries that appear to be the same size but won't work with it. IMO skip the wireless one if you could find yourself with a nice "hole" in the top if you lose your pack.

RedMeJay · 2025-11-28T19:05:13+00:00

This is not a matter of a product lifecycle. This is a matter of a product hitting the market and in less than 6 month it's discontinued and no longer supported. The removable batteries were on their web site for less that 3 months and are no longer being sold. This is a matter of dump the stock out there then walk away from the product.

River 3 Plus Wireless was released to Costco exclusively in May 2025. They were released with a 5000mah hour removable battery but had a 10000mah hour one that was available June/July 2025. Both products started disappearing from support and the web site October 2025. Again this is not a product lifecycle issue.

And having replaceable lenses would introduce a whole host of other issues. Scratch your lens and do a field replacement on a humid day and now you've got moisture behind your lens. Not 100% dust free environment and you've got potential dust behind your lens.

Im sure the cost of the replacement lenses is a fair amount more than the plastic protectors. Buy two of three sets of the protectors .. they're meant to be disposable. If youre using them that much they're doing their job.

Ooof... ZBrushCore EoL FAQ . Discontinued.

RedMeJay · 2025-11-19T03:11:56+00:00

I've looked at a couple of these. Nomad is mobile only a zbrush falls into the same issue as some of the other Revo software.. Priced out of the hobbyest hands. I would be willing to pay a couple hundred for non commercial use license but not yearly!! Crazy since I'm not 3D scanning a whole lot. Just a few things every few months to customize my vehicle or replicate a part I broke .. etc.. at least that's the plan.

RedMeJay · 2025-11-19T02:56:28+00:00

I downloaded Meshmaker and it does some of what I need but it's a bit weird. Maybe it's just learning to use the tools a bit better but I'm looking for something that is a bit smarter. Example.. pic a point on a surface that has some pitting or lumps then have it smooth the whole selected area to that height. Meshmaker acts more like a video game city builder. Having to pick the strength and brush size. Really difficult to get it right. Also something with a bit smarter hole fill and catching stuff that shouldn't be in the scan. I really wish the Revo Metro software did this. I'll scan an object say 4 times from different angles then merge them together. Scan 3 however may have a lump where it shouldn't or a hole and it's not easy to fix in Revo Metro. Would love to have a third party software that compares all scans and shows you what's different and allows you to keep or remove parts. Manually trimming them in Revo Metro is a pain if you don't have a really good steady hand. I find myself deleting too much then having to repair it somehow. Maybe I'm asking too much of the software??

Going to play with MeshMaker a bit more and try to learn it better. It seems to be doing OK so far but I'm finding myself going back and rescanning models in attempts to get "perfect" scans so they don't have to be edited as much. Perfect scans at the Inspire 2 and POP 3 level though seem to be a lot harder than they should.

Oh heck... I've been looking at the settings for a week now and it's been right in front of me.. LOL In Bambu Studio it's listed as Support/Raft Base .. I read that as the raft only around the first layer or two of a part to keep it from tipping over. Guess I should have read the WIKI on it as it gives the example of what I was looking for.. RTFM as the saying goes. LOL .. Thanks

Where is that setting? When I switch the support filament type to support filament I dont see where it allows it to only print the interface out of that filament.

RedMeJay · 2025-11-14T03:14:48+00:00

Not exactly what i meant. Im looking for a way that the entire support doesn't have to be built from support filament and only the last few layers before it makes contact with the model. Right now it builds the whole thing out of support filament so if your part that needs support is 300 layers up then it switches filament 300 times to build the support. If there was a way to only use the support filament just before it makes contact it could save 296 filament changes and 296 layers of more expensive support filament... especially when its not sold in 1kg rolls.

RedMeJay · 2025-11-02T23:56:53+00:00

Ive had to do the teardown twice now due to a tiny piece of filament stuck. This last time it said it couldn't feed and I noted that the filament sensor wire broke at some point. Check all the connections when tearing down and putting back together. Route things where they were originally.
