Hi,
The printer was printing just fine, and one failed print after at15%, I thought the supports may have displaced or I forgot to put supports in some over hangs areas.
so I tried printing another part at different orientation, and the filament didn’t come out of the extruder
As you can see in the video. I can hear this ticking sound, and the yellow gear tries to turn.
When I tried to load the filament. nothing came from the nozzle.
Could someone please tell me what’s going on. looks serious to me. I hope the printer isn’t broken
I feel so stressed out now , your help is greatly appreciated
seems like there is some filament stuck in your extruder. I don’t even see the gear moving → that is where the sound comes from. it’s blocked. you need to disassemble the extruder. may have a look at the wiki for doing this. I will fetch the link for you:
you need to get the extruder out from the head and then disassemble it. it’s pretty simple. and no worries - your printer isn’t damaged.
Hoooeeee, it turns out I’ve just encountered my 1st clogged nozzle. I’m so grateful The nozzle was unclogged using the information and videos from this Wiki.
but Now I wonder if clogging could affect the gears, and motor of the extruder.
I now know that it’s unavoidable, but I hope it doesn’t reduce the life span of gears
the wiki really has a lot of information and already helped me a lot.
