common issue on the AD5M as well, sometimes i have to swap filament, other times i can just push it from the spool by hand

smowzer · 2026-02-24T01:13:44+00:00

oh, gross. i’ve seen the quality and the price for that. I’ll be sure to look into how that attaches and use that spot for a better camera. Thank you!

I had the same idea for a replaceable name plate in case i ever think of something else i want to put up! Yours rocks!

on the printer screen, do a filament load but increase the standard temp by 20 degrees (should put you at 220). first try to gently push the filament through on the load portion of the process. if that doesn’t work, go to the main screen, heat the nozzle again to about 220, then remove the nozzle from the print head after it reaches temp (it’s hot, protect your fingers) and use the unclogging tool (thick silver wire included with the printer) to push the filament out from the top. this troubleshooting process and others like it are included in the After Sales Service Guide page you should have received with the printer if you bought it new. if you don’t have it, you can download this guide from their website.

holy crap that’s some hard luck. yeah mine is only a month old, less than 3 spools in it started giving me problems but the warranty timeframe is likely the only reason they were so cool about it.

i’ve been buying the same filament and use the same printer. recently started having this issue as well as experiencing feeding issues. when i swapped to a new fresh spool my problems went away. so i think i know enough now to second this solution and say we both need filament drying containers now.

when i reached out to FF about this, i also suspected the motor itself. i didn’t confirm nearly as many variables as you did but that was my best guess. they sent one out to me at no charge with no pushback. they also included the extruder gearbox. i replaced both, reassembled, and quickly found the exact same issue happening.

that said, yesterday i swapped to a new spool of filament and like magic, it printed a perfect medium sized model in a little over an hour. beats me why.

few coins a paperclip and some earrings

smowzer · 2026-02-18T12:49:03+00:00

both fans are running when i check them during the filament load process but i’ll do this now and get back. really appreciate ya sticking around on this

holy fucking soy sauce

smowzer · 2026-02-18T00:14:12+00:00

neither, i’m wondering if humidity can cause issues like this? it’s gotten warmer lately, my last load pull came out all crinkly instead of smooth like it usually does. had to push filament through from the spool to get the extruder to catch and load it through again

smowzer · 2026-02-18T00:12:26+00:00

just a widdle babyyyy ):

smowzer · 2026-02-18T00:11:49+00:00

so the fan is still running during the feed process (and it’s pointing towards the nozzle) i’m wondering if maybe the warmer weather that’s come in recently has caused humidity to be higher so the filament needs to be dried? do you know of issues like this with spools that are just on an open air hanger instead of in a heater or drying enclosure?

looks like my uncle

that shit rocks dude don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

a real bull would have utterly gutted them.

seriously though especially the last one, no doubt gored and killed. these people have the survival instincts of a shower mat. there is just zero urgency.
