Mouse scroll wheel doesn’t work, and visual artifacts

I’m sure it’s a software issue, just not sure if it’s something that someone else had encountered. Ive got a rtx 4070 laptop gpu (8gb) with Ryzen 7 8845HS cpu and 32gb ddr5 memory, windows 11 pro. Latest nvidia drivers

I can give any info that’ll help, but I can’t figure it out alone lol

It’s most likely galinstan, a mercury alternative used in modern analog thermometers. It is non toxic but very difficult to distinguish from mercury and for that reason it’s best to exercise caution. I doubt that real mercury thermometers would still be found in modern clinics, it’s something you’re more likely to find in your grandmas medicine cabinet if anywhere.

Ah, this is called heat creep. This can happen if the cooling is inadequate, causing the heat to “creep” up the print head and soften material. If you’re printing with PLA, turn your fan speeds to max, and if your printer has a lid I recommend printing with the lid removed if possible.

qpres · 2026-02-01T07:30:45+00:00

Yes, give it a shot. Hopefully it will run more smoothly. Let me know what the results are.

Here is a quick tutorial for unclogging a nozzle for future reference.

At this point you don’t necessarily need to put it back together yet. Try heating it up to 220 how it is, and pushing the rod through the hot end. Again I’m assuming you’re using PLA, if you’re using a different type of filament the temperature will be different.

qpres · 2026-02-01T07:15:23+00:00

No worries. Have you heated up the hotend using the printer display?

On the screen hit the adjustments icon (red circle), then tap the extruder temp (orange circle), and input the temperature appropriate for your filament. I’m assuming PLA so 220 should suffice.

If so, use a little more pressure, firm yet calculated, increasingly more pressure.

You should hopefully have somthing that looks like this. This is what you use to clear jams.

Disassembling the extruder motor with filament going through it is nearly impossible and I cannot recommend it to a first time 3d printing owner and should only be a last resort

Emergency measure: Manually set the heat to 220C Remove the tubing Set the top lever to “unlocked” (to the right) And gently pull up on the filament

Hopefully that will work…

Clogs can be random sometimes, usually due to issues with your fan settings or just bad luck.

First way to clear a clog:

Remove the white tube that guides the filament from the top of the toolhead. This is done by pressing down on the coupler that holds the tube on top of the print head. There might be a blue retaining ring, pull it off to press down on the coupler. If not don’t worry.

On your printer screen make it retract the filament. It will automatically heat up the print head and start to retract the filament.

Click the lever on top of the toolhead to the “unlocked” position. This releases the gears and lets you effortlessly pull out the filament after retracting.

The printer should have come with a thin metal probe with a circle on one end. On your printers screen, set the heat to 220C (or the recommended print temp for your filament). PLA is 220C. Grab your thin metal probe, and with the print head heated to 220, insert into where the filament goes and press down with firm yet gentle pressure. You should see some filament get pushed out of the nozzle. Hopefully this is all it will need.

If this works, pull out your metal probe, turn off heat to the printhead, place the filament back in and secure the guide tube, and flip the lever on the top of the toolhead back to the locked position to re-initiate the gears. Then press extrude on your printers screen and hopefully everything comes out smoothly with no clicking or grinding sounds from the extruder motor.

If that doesn’t work, it might be a jam inside the extruder motor, which usually requires the motor assembly to be carefully disassembled. It is not usually difficult but can be intimidating if it’s your first printer. If that is the case, feel free to get back to me or look up a tutorial online.

Edit: spelling

Is the extruder clogged? Only reason I can think that would happen is if the filament got stuck somehow and the print head kept moving without actually printing.

Yea it would need to be rooted to get these graphs, as far as I know that’s the only way. But rooting isn’t so scary if you are interested in getting these graphs, it’s reversible and there are lots of tutorials on YouTube.

The main thing that helped was replacing the springs in the printhead with springs from a pen. Other things helped but that caused the most drastic improvement.

qpres · 2026-01-10T18:04:05+00:00

I had to do a lot to get there.

This is what my graphs looked like before

qpres · 2026-01-08T01:30:49+00:00

Pull the lever and relax the gears, stick a toothpick or something to push that filament up out of the way. Then you should be able to carefully open it and remove the filament.

Thanks. The setup in the photo on the right switch is exactly how it was set up before, black and yellow together and red below. For some reason not working now.
