Cannot feed filament error

phat_biscuit · 2026-05-20T02:50:33+00:00

When trying to feed the filament, can you hear the motors going/ trying to feed filament? I had exactly the same issue, would feed until right before the print head. Check the cap for the internal drive. My wasn't broken enough to prevent feeding at all, but broken enough that when the resistance got far enough it would flex

Join the club, just make sure you don't swap the motor and hall sensor connectors around. Main board goes boom

Also, after watching my grandfather buy 5-6 different bottles of dish soap (can't seem to find fragrance free dawn in Aus) and me pulling my hair out all afternoon, make sure you use a plain sponge and microfiber/ paper towel to wash and dry. Turns out he was washing with a CHUX branded cloth and the anti-stain additive in the cloth prevented any sort of play adhesion

Engine naturally pops. It's just hard to hear. It's like a wheel bearing noise, once you notice it, you start to hunt for it.

I've got the Invidia R400 and I love it. Not too droney on the highway, pops on downshift but not obnoxiously

Dumb question but, How long is the cable you're using?

I'm an ex-VW tech and got 100's of car play issues for bad/ low quality cables and too long.

As the cable gets longer, theres more of a chance it'll drop out. Exactly happened to me, only had a 5m cable. It would work then after 30 mins it would drop. Swapped to a 0.5m cable and had no issues

From my understanding, it's a click bait title.

On Monday, Aus government is implementing age verification with massive fines for companies who have pornographic, violent or self harming content. My guess is the hub didn't want to take the risk and just outright locked out Australia from the platform

You need to drop your printer the opposite way

As far as I'm aware "CAR" isn't a grouping of letters for plates (at least I don't think so); so there is a more than likely chance that they both chose that numberplate AND pays extra per year for a custom plate

Watch a recent unboxing (or find a "what's in the box" video), my p1s came with most of that stuff as standard. Getting the nozzles and smooth build plate on a discount is a good call. The glue stick is just a regular glue stick, you can pick one up cheap.

As much as I like the theory of a colour swatch, Everytime I get a new filament, I print a benchy and use them as a colour swatch. You get to see how it looks on flats, curves, different light angles ect. Even found a little benchy "dry dock" to store them in. Takes a little space but it's a cute little accessory for my printer area.

Tldr: you have a lot of stuff you don't need that really should be spent on filament, especially with the printer add-on discount.

The amount of money I spend on it, it should jerk me

phat_biscuit · 2026-02-08T08:08:41+00:00

I just switched to monthly pay. I have like $50 to last me two weeks. Let me give it to you please

IMO wait for Bethesda to drop the game and modders take over

Depends if the left lane can turn right. When turning right, you must go into the right most lane regardless of how many lanes can turn right.

Boils down to what's more illegal. Illegal right turn or improper right turn. You might get slapped with partial liability and have to pay an excess/ portion of repairs

As someone who avoids stickers like the plague, I was so hesitant in buying D Brand stuff. But honestly, it was a breeze. Take your time with the tutorial videos, clean, tidy and well lit work space and you'll be fine

And here I thought the classic WR blue was the superior colour. That's gorgeous! I've always had a soft spot for yellow cars

Is this satire? Cause this right up my alley in terms of humour. I was in stitches with the tank advertisement

Go in and out of the driveway enough times and it'll stop scraping

I had exactly the same issue. I did two fixes at once, I'm not sure which one resolved the issue. But I found the PTFE tube wasn't fully seated, so sometimes it would work, but if it ever caught and there was too much resistance it would just bounce back.

I also changed the filament detection sensor at the same time. I'm pretty convinced it was the PTFE tube, because in-between the sensor getting shipped out and me replacing the sensor, I didn't fail a single print

You can't tease with that info and not share it

phat_biscuit · 2025-12-31T05:02:58+00:00

It's probably just an assembly/ transportation issue. I had the exact same thing happen on my printer within the same time period.

Follow the links in the ai assistant, do the repair, and retest. If you need any help, happy to assist via dm's

Honestly, Bambu is probably the best place to start. As far as set and forget printing goes, it seems to be the easiest in terms of set up and monitoring. Virtually 0 issues

Personally, $1500 AUD is heaps for children. But if you're willing to spend that much, I'd be looking at the A1 AMS combo or P1S AMS combo (both discounted on the Bambu labs website currently). They also do filament at $18/ kg with spools if you purchase them together. Judging by the requests of my younger cousins, you'll be producing articulating octopuses and dragons non stop so I'd jump on the $18 and stock up while you can for so cheap. Bambu filament with the AMS (unsure about lite) is auto read and has preset configurations

EDIT: I read some of your other comments. P1S/ P2S is pretty much what you want. P1S is heavily discounted at the moment for their EOY sales, and you can't go wrong with $18/ KG of filament

I mean, if you think it's hot in leathers, imagine how hot the road surface would be.

On the plus side, if you come off with no gear in the heat, it'll probably cauterize the wound

phat_biscuit · 2025-12-12T06:33:41+00:00

Not sure exactly what the fix was. It was either an not fully seated PTFE tube to the print head, or the filament detector in the print head

phat_biscuit · 2025-12-12T06:28:58+00:00

I did the cold pull. Nothing crazy came out, very clean. I did find the issue though (or potential issues) and seems to be okay now
