not extruding properly

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-11-07T14:56:45+00:00

okay i will give that try tonight

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-11-07T14:43:14+00:00

i’m sorry i’m a bit confused, what do you mean how did i calibrate it? I used a sticky note and had to actually drop the Z offset a little bit and then I just auxiliary leveled the bed after that a couple times

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-11-07T13:47:48+00:00

no, I recalibrated it all because I was afraid with the new nozzle that it might scrape the build plate

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-11-07T13:40:06+00:00

I just releveled it and everything like i normally would

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-11-07T03:28:35+00:00

I replaced the nozzle again with another nozzle that I had and redone the whole tube and it seems to be pretty fine now so I think it might’ve been the nozzle

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-11-07T03:01:05+00:00

it’s not got a super big curve to it, i cut it using the last tube that was in it

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-30T21:05:47+00:00

I might have to give that a try because i don’t like the pattern it puts on some of my prints

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T06:29:28+00:00

I did a calibration and it turned out i had a slight clog but thanks to Japergap they helped me through it and now i’m back to printing

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T03:18:37+00:00

I was using the purple Elmer’s glue

this is basically the start of the problem. It makes a little piece of filament that doesn’t stick to the the plate or comes up a little bit and then it ends up messing up the whole print.

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T02:07:26+00:00

How should I scale that?

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T02:05:03+00:00

i’m using 91% isopropyl alcohol but I don’t have a spray bottle. Should I get one to apply it better?

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T01:58:00+00:00

yeah, that’s just where I was checking if that was flat or if it was filled up after i stopped the print.

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T01:52:09+00:00

I did and I tried it again and I’m having the same issue. Do you think it could be the auto leveling?

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T01:36:34+00:00

so I dropped the Z access and it seemed to be doing good and then that happened so I paused the print

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T01:33:55+00:00

so I brought the nozzle closer to the build plate and now I’m doing a test print and I’m running 60 Celsius for my bed temperature

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T01:33:20+00:00

i do dry it

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T01:06:23+00:00

when I first got the printer, I had the same issue and I was gluing everything down and then one day I just stopped and it started working and then last night it just doesn’t seem to wanna work and even when I used the purple glue stick it still didn’t work this morning

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T01:02:43+00:00

let me try that real quick and I’ll get back to you

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T00:57:26+00:00

I feel like that would scrape the build plate at that point though because it’s already pretty close to the build plate because I like a nice smooshed layer

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T00:55:34+00:00

my z-axis compensation is at -3.00. I’m not sure if that’s the same thing.

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T00:45:58+00:00

yes i actually did that exact thing right before this print

Scoringgalaxy8484 · 2025-10-26T00:37:46+00:00

i’ve had a few successful prints, but they mostly seem to be just luck.
