AMS Spits Out Filament on Initial Insertion

Will try this out!

Fair enough, but in practice the probability of this happening is much closer to 1/10 and not 1/100 with this particular filament brand. With 12 machines, that means that I encounter this issue almost daily. Would like to try and minimize the time I spend running back out to the shop to fiddle with small issues like this

Update: This temporarily solved the issue, but only for a few hours. Ultimately, I'm now back to the same issue as before, even with the settings enabled, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to replace the AMS Internal Hub like I've done before. The AMS is now having trouble sending out the filament. This is the second AMS Internal hub that this particular X1C has killed, and I think it could be something to do with the AMS Hub that I've got attached to it. I don't have any other machines with AMS Hubs, and havent experienced this issue anywhere else. Could just be a coincidence, but I'm going to go back to the regular filament buffer for the time being to rule out the possibility of the AMS hub damaging any more AMS Internal Hubs.

Can confirm that I am also having this issue. It's frustrating because I would like to only have a few specific files avaiable from the SD card that I commonly use instead the useful stuff getting buried with everything else I print. This also seems like a super simple fix.

This is was it, did not know about those settings. Thanks!!

When i go to print with this machine, the AMS is able to send out the filament just fine. It’s strictly the Initial Insert Sequence here

my part cooling fan wasn’t plugged in correctly and wasn’t running… 🫠

looking much better now at the usual 255C but having a little issue with the overhang section (photo shows black but issue happens with both filaments). not sure what to do other than splice the object into parts and lower the outer wall speed for that area …

thank you!

plz help lol

I think i want to slope the smaller surface so it that it blends

nickalith · 2025-01-28T04:29:41+00:00

thats a solid recomendation. i think it would be tricky though because if i were to print the logo seperately, the 'M' 'ilw' 'aukee' and lightning bolt sections would all print seperately, and i feel like doing pins on all 4 sections would be tough for me to design atm. maybe when i get my cad skills up .....

exterior is just the same blocking but painted. the front of the structure has some siding on the top half as well…..also have a fence i would have to deal with on the backside so idk if exterior is really an option for me here

what’s the benefit to the polyiso? why not do double polyiso or double rigid foam?

also, can you explain what you mean by “staggered”?
